Vacation Time!

I leave for WA State this morning for some time on the Olympic Peninsula. This area is one of my very favorite in the whole wide world, and I'm looking forward to some hiking, eating of delicious seafood, and lots of relaxing with this as my view:

Lake Crescent, WA

Friday Finish: Supernova

Didn't this one turn out nicely? Usually, as I'm quilting a quilt I have a moment where I think "Well, I just ruined it!"...I don't think I've ever really ruined a quilt with the quilting, but the fear is always there. I did this in all over swirlies, and bound it in a dark navy. The backing is some print I got on sale - have no clue what.

There's a chance this one will hang in the sanctuary of my church during my 6 week exhibit there later this fall, and wouldn't that be a nice eye-popping sight?

BTW, the structure in the background is a "Catio" that we built for the kitties earlier this spring, since we've curtailed their neighborhood roaming after a dealing with worms, fleas, and too many dead bunnies or sadly alive mice being brought into the house. They're sad not to have run of the neighborhood anymore, but this seems like a pretty nice alternative to me, and they can in and out as they please though a little kitty door in the window.
