It's the same pattern as this one, but
look what happens when the colour palette changes. Totally different quilt.This is the one that my friend Dawn made while she was here. I am always surprised at the different colours we all choose for projects that are similar.
I have decided to make bread! I used to make bread in another lifetime, so it should be easy for me. Well it wasn't easy, but not too difficult either. Timing is everything. I bought silicone pans, which should be put on a cookie sheet as the pans are a bit wobbly and the loaf on the right jiggled as it was going in the oven, so it's a bit wonky.No rain as yet. Who is getting rain? We have a total fire ban in the area here, as well as Algonquin Park. No outdoor fires whatsoever even cooking. If one must cook out doors, propane stoves are allowed. This is the worst drought in years as I cannot remember this edict ever being broadcast in our area.
The weather has cooled today, but still, when the radio says 40% chance of rain, who really believes it?

I was worried about you yesterday when I heard storms were in the area. In one way, I'm glad you didn't get them, but boy rain is so badly needed in parts of Ontario. We've had some, but we would love more.
40% means no rain, I'm afraid. When they say 100%, I'm going to start to believe.
Kydos to Mary and you! It's fabulous - another Kawagama treasure. Isn't it great when the creative forces flow. I would be lost if I couldn't use my hands to sew. Creating quilts has brought much joy and contentment into all of our lives. We're damn terrific women who share our creations as tokens of love and friendship with family and friends. Bravo to all of you ladies who do good in this world.

I didn't realize you were quite so hot and dry there too Nanci - there is so much drought and heat in the two countries here that it is getting all of us isn't it. Do you have A/C at the cottage or making due? Lovely quilt!! I haven't cooked outside all summer - I think the last time was in April and used the fire pit the one and only time this season back then.

Love the colours of the new quilt! In Australia we know all about drought.......hope you get some rain soon.
I can smell that bread all the way over here....
It really is amazing how a quilt will change with the fabric choices.
After all our miserable rain and gloom the temperature has now reached the mid 70's and is glorious. The weather has mad globally it seems. The important thing is to stay safe. Lovely colour combination for the quilt you are helping your friend with.
Beautiful quilts, makes me want to learn.
