Kaleidoscope Quilters Mystery Quilt
"Summer Breeze by Judy Hopkins.
I call mine "Bumblebee Summer Breeze"

My Easy Street at show n tell with "TaDa"  Bonnie Hunter

     Okay,  I know, I haven't posted for quite some time, about 6 weeks.   I haven't been idle.   My computer had to spend about a month at the "Dr.s".   He was very sick.  Actually, had to completely wipe out the hard drive and reinstall a new operating system $$$$.    Then when it finally came home, I had a virus.  Luckily, it was not a month and big bucks to get me back on my feet.
     Well,  Had a great time with Bonnie Hunter!!!!!!!    Now, I have two UFO's from her two classes that I took.    I have not had time to work on Smith Mountain Morning or Jamestown landing.   I have been too busy with "life".  I do plan on doing SMM, using Jamestown landing as Leaders and enders.
Bonnie is every bit as fun as she is on Quilt Cam.   I was totally enthralled with her.  Can't wait for my Alaska cruise in August.   I have been following her trip to Ireland and was so jealous, wish I could have gone, too.   But Alaska will be great.
     I took another painting class this spring.  I have a big painting that I am still working on.   I needed a couple of cards, so I decided to do some original works.   I love Pemaquid Point lighthouse.  So, I chose that as my subject from a photo I took on a recent trip there with my grandson.  We had a great time. Had fun with these cards, plan on more.
     Our chapter of the Pine Tree Quilter's Guild is Kaleidoscope.  This spring we had a mystery quilt challenge.   I did not have time to do it as the challenge progressed because of Bonnie's classes I had to prepare for, so I did it all at once.   It is a Judy Hopkin's mystery.  It is supposed to be more light than dark, but I had less yellow and decided to do it the other way.   I am very happy with it.   I tried for the first time to machine quilt  feathers on my home machine.   Well, black on black looks pretty good.   Just don't look too close.  It just reminded me of bumblebees, thus the name  Bumblebee Summer Breeze.
