The Just Right Studio

The first finished object from the new, revisited Just Right Studio. While it is not the greatest thing I ever made, it is FINISHED and ready to gift. 

I must say I felt so rusty getting this accomplished. It has been ages since I quilted anything and I was feeling a little rushed, trying to finish by today. Excuses excuses. 

On the other hand the working space is just great. Plenty of room to maneuver tables and lots of outlets to plug my machine, iron, speaker, phone charger, etc. 

The baby will be named Kit, short for Katherine, and I stitched her name into the quilt.

And got my signature in there too, discreetly.

I used both free motion and feed dogs up to get 'er done. 

 +++++And now it's October, and I have been waiting for cooler weather to do some transplanting in the garden and removing some concrete blocks. This bed looks great when it is in bloom but the concrete blocks look awful when it is not. 

 

That metal ring is over a huge tree stump that is a death trap if you walk nearby, so I started a garden over it, and it was an OK solution. 

But my plan is to make the garden design a bit more cohesive with these rubber edgers that I got at Lowe's.

 I installed that edge myself in the throes of Springtime Garden Enthusiasm, but had my lawn guys do the big section. This is the 'before' picture, and now the spaces in between the flower pots are nicely growing Viburnum Snowball bushes, and one sweet fig tree. I think my garden has gotten about as big as I can manage and I don't think I will be making anymore new beds...she says.
