Crab apple tree, Yakima, Washington.

They make great jelly, but you sure have to pick a lot. 

Let's see if Susanne and Frauke have for you today. 

A visit to the Fair.

I like the State Fair here in Puyallup Washington. I am always amazed at the talented people that live here in my area. My favorite exhibits are the craft pavilions, and the vegetable hall. Here are a few photo's I would like to share.

You all know my Christmas Tree fetish. I just had to take pictures of these. 

 I thought of my friend Angela when I saw this one. 

My friend Jeri's Dad make birdhouses, I wonder if he would make a bunch for a birdhouse tree. 

And who could resist a Smore's tree. Just lovely. 

This is entirely made out of wood. Amazing! The details is so wonderful! 

Ha ha, a dodo bird. 

For my friend Billa , isn't she cute! 

Somebody showcased a whole collection of handkerchief's, and there was a wonderful collection of trolls. I did get as many pictures as I wanted, but I hope you enjoy these.

Dash Point Park, Federal Way Washington. This was a hollowed out tree segment done by nature like a wooden canoe.  I like how the water reflects the trees overhead. 

Let's see if Frauke and Susanne have a picture for you.

Modern Quilt Guild Challenge

The last challenge for the modern quilt guild from Germany was circles. You can check them out here: I have always wanted to make a circle quilt, and so I got started right away before summer. I had two small layer cakes in black/white that I wanted to use, and choose a green as my circle color. I had so much fun making different circles in different methods, hand appliqued, machine appliqued or both. I made the circle in different sizes and even cut some of them in half or quarters.

This is the finished quilt. 

I wanted to add some yo-yo's and buttons. 

I quilted the circles all different, some even by hand. 

The background is quilted in a soft meander, since I did not want to get the meander on the circles. 

This was fun, and I now have to think about the next challenge from the Modern Quilt Guild Stuttgart.
