Steampunk Challenge

Saw this at BadAss Quilter's Society and got sucked in!

To enter make anything with quilty goodness.  No problem!

 Use every fabric in your project. Um...ok.

 Steampunk it up....metal zippers and real rusty bike gears...check!

Four pockets on one side of lining, zippy pocket with secret pocket on the other side.

Really don't want to cut those zipper ends off....

...ok...so I won't!:)

 This can be totally....

...reversible.

 But why hide all this bike gear fun?:)

Bike gear and felt flower fun!

 Junk in the truck photo shot....very Steampunk!

Loads of pockets...

 ...hooks...

 and loops

Steampunk goodness...I hope!:)

Sand, Sunsets, Selvedges, a Flower and a Shower!

 Ahhhh...Outer Banks of North Carolina in October.....Awesome!

While climbing the largest sand dune on the east coast at Jockey's Ridge State Park we watched all the varied looks of a sunset with the girl who is home for a visit from the UK.

 What could be better?

 I'm not the only one that was taking photographs.

 Looking over the Sound.

 Worked on a double Grandmother's Hexy Flower....we are making kits for these at work!

Speaking of work...that was the real reason we were at the beach, so Don could remodel a bathroom and do a few other things.

 He didn't get a lot of time to relax. Among the many things he worked on during our week at the beach this was the main change....from this tub/shower insert to this...

...lovely marble tiled shower!

 While there I finished my Round Robin quilt....is this staged nicely enough Lynz?:) I had to wait til we returned home so I could put the couch pillows on the bed!

Yesterday I did my first selvedge blocks for Hollie at our Sew Fun Bee.  I don't think I'll be making any more because I just don't remember to save my selvedges!

Hope you've had time to enjoy a great sunset!
