The Quilted Eagle

I know, I knowww–it’s way past July, but honestly–I worked slow on this one…

completely on purpose.

It was the most beautiful puzzle, I think, that I have put together…

and I needed it to last…

for a long time.

I began at the end of June and just finished a few days ago.

And now…I just sit and stare at it.

All the beautiful details of American life.

All the majesty the proud, noble eagle.

And all the gorgeous quilty pieces that make up the whole picture.

If you could see it in real life–it would take your breath away…

like it does mine.

Quilting. America. Puzzles. Patriotism.

Pretty easy to see why I love it–

wouldn’t you say?

Seasonal Dilemma

So–I have this puzzle. It’s pretty, sure. It’s half finished, which is a plus. It’s Thomas Kinkade, so that says it all.

But there is a problem with it. Actually three, to be precise.

Number one: It’s missing a piece. An edge piece. Can you sense my eye twitching madly?

Number two: It’s reaaaally hard. I don’t believe I’ve ever said those words in a complainy, whiney voice about a puzzle before. I LOVE hard ones, but this one is almost irritating instead of challenging. Alllll the saaaaame colorrrrrrrs!!! Yikes.

And lastly,

Number 3: There is a snowman. I’m fine with it. There is even a bright red scarf around that snowman and somehow, I’m still fine with it.

BUT there is a wreath on the lamp post. A Christmas wreath. Totally betraying the fact that I’m doing this CHRISTMAS puzzle…

after Christmas.

How can I bear it? There are rules about things like this.

Deep breath. Deep breath.

Perhaps I can comfort myself by imagining that this perfect family in this perfect house in this perfect Thomas Kinkade painting…

in real life isn’t any better at putting their Christmas stuff away in January…

than I am. 

Yeah, that works.

Heh, heh.

Patriot Puzzle

Ohhhhh my goodness…did I ever love this one!!

Yessss, it had letters on the back that just encouraged me to be a big cheater.

But July is coming up fast so that became my excuse…

to not dilly-dally around.

Come on…

admit it.

Isn’t this the coolest 4th of July puzzle you’ve ever SEEN?!

Stained Glass Kitty

Oh, my gosh….you guys!

I haven’t had this much fun putting a puzzle together in a long, long time!

All the lines made it much easier than you’d think. In fact, it came together in less than a week!

And my favorite part?

That shiny, pink nose.

Heh, heh.

Rainbow Triangle

This was a REALLY fun puzzle to do. You may not think so because it looks terrifically hard.

However it was another one of those cheater puzzles with the alphabet letters on the back.

That made it waaaaay easier.

Good thing, cause it was beautiful!
