Yep, that's right! Why not?!No, it hasn't rained that much but we have certainly received quite a few inches of rain.
Given that the forecast is rain for the week, I turned off the hose and allow Mother Nature to do her thing!
With the 4,000 gallons required to fill it, every little bit of help counts and.... it doesn't cost anything! ;o)
On the quilting front, I continue to keep myself out of trouble be productive and finished this little hand appliqué gem from the Fat Quarter Quilting Book by Lori Smith.
The pattern is called Tumbling Leaves. It's been a flimsy for quite some time awaiting patiently to be loaded on Penelope.
The dilemma was, how do I machine quilt it?
After much thought, I decided to make it appear windy ...... sort of give it the blowing leaf look! I call it Blustery day!
Thank you so much for stopping by my little corner in Cyberspace!
Keep well everyone! Cheers!

That made me smile that you put your pool up to catch rain! After all, when life hands you lemons...
Cute little quilt--I love all things fall. And it does have a windblown look. Good call!
Perfect choice for the quilting.
I'd be saving that water too!!!
I love the idea for quilting. It looks fabulous.
We just keep our pool filled and top it off when it gets warm. I few gallons of shock usually kill anything in it;)
Wonderful fall piece and the quilting is perfect for it.
I am working on a braid piece, on my third row, then it is quits for today. I am so slow, lol.

Do you have to pay for the cold water in the hose? Great name for the quilt, which is btw beautiful.
Fall is my favorite time of year. My favorite color range. I like your Tumbling Leaves piece because of that.
