Once we had a Hot Tub........

When we built this house we put a hot tub in the sunroom. I have many good memories of using the tub. A little girl trying to dive to the bottom.........friends enjoying good talks and drinks........4-5 young people making a whirlpool........alone time with John............


But the hot tub leaked and the moisture was not good for the sun room walls - even tho they are cedar............ It has not been used for more than 5 years..............so it's time to go.............


John has been working on it bit by bit. In the back you can see the seats.........


We now have a nice hole in the floor. Decisions of how to fill that need to be made - fill in in and put new bricks, fill it in and put wood and use an area rug..............


No answers yet............ This is what I have been working on during the below zero wind chills in February. Fabric is a collection that I have had on the counter for a few years - fat quarters and a yard of the back..........
I have some triangles for the top and bottom.............not much fabric left.
The lobsters are hanging in the hall to the bedrooms.
The drunken spiders will debut at the library this week.
I will need a new project...........

Hmm --- looks like taking that hot tub out is quite a project. Like the colorful quilt --- whatever would I do, if I saw a Civil War repro?!!

I love the new block. What's the pattern?
I think John should fill in the former tub area with a tile mosaic. You can design it.

Block has no name - I made it up. I'm sure someone else has done it!!!

John may need a new civil war quilt soon.......his has patches on it--been thru a war!!!

Great quilt for a sunny Spring day (we can pretend, can't we?). Got a package of batiks today that I won on Ebay. Some great stuff and some dogs but fun to get in the mail on Valentine's Day.

Love the block and the fabrics. I would vote for some kind of water garden, but then you would have an open container of water in the room which would be the same problem all over again! Bonnie
