Filmstrip and Pumpkin Spice

At long last this one is finished. It will go to the USO Lounge. I'm calling it Filmstrip. Can you see it?

It started out as just the navy blue and those darker repro colors. It seemed a little too dark to me, so I added in some neutral strips. It seems happier to me. You can see from the two outside shots that it is really not that dark a blue. It looks darker inside.

This is a Quilt Archeology project called Pumpkin Spice from Pam Buda of Heartspun Quilts. 

The colors in this one too, are much more vibrant and true when the picture is taken outside.

  
I had ordered a pack or oranges and purples from her web store and this was one of the oranges. Coincidentally it was the orange in the kit!
I had a lot of fun making this little cutie. I cannot claim to have done a perfect job, but I did enjoy making it. And that's what it's all about! 

We had some stormy weather last night, but today is lovely! It will be back to hot tomorrow, so we have been enjoying this cooler while it lasts!
 
I can certainly not call myself a regular blogger, but I do like to keep this online diary of some of what's going on here at Muddle Manor. I miss so many of the blogs I used to love when I first discovered blogs. To those of you who still write your blog, thank you! You are a blessing to me!
 
I hope you are having a wonderful weekend with lots of good things to anticipate in the week to come!  God is good! Always.
 
Hugs and kisses,
Elaine
