This is a bit of a repeat, in the sense that two of my customers took the same class. Beautiful quilt though. I quilted them differently in many respects - this one has a feather theme, where the earlier quilt had a floral theme. There is lots of stitch in the ditch on both of them.
Last Wednesday we were supposed to have a UFO Sewing Day at the Caledonia Guild, but Mother Nature decided we should all stay home and take a snow/ice day instead. The stupid snow STILL hasn't melted. This pic was Wednesday morning - you can see where DH dug through the drift to get out and retrieve his newspaper. There is a Mourning Dove hiding from the elements on the shovel. Stupid bird. They are so fat, with their tiny little pinheads, I expect to see them rolling around like a bowling ball. I'm not sure how they stay upright? They often huddle near the front door, then we all scare each other when the door is opened.
I spent the day taking a nice long girly bath and actually reading a whole magazine. Then a leisurely lunch of leftovers, followed by work in the afternoon. In the evening I started some spring seeds - tomatoes, lettuce, cilantro and, um,... hmph. I forget. Basil?? I was on a fresh greens kick. I may start some beet seeds too, for pretty little beet leaves. I like to torture DH with "weird food" sometimes. Bad wife, bad.
Last night we went to see Lincoln Lawyer with Matthew McConaughey. Entertaining flic, not too much blood & gore. A few scenes where Matthew was (in my opinion) overacting, but hey - he is still nice to look at. So I forgive him. Yup - worth the admission.
UFO Update: there is a pic of my finished MARCH UFO on the UFO page. Woo Hoo!! March 28th and I have 3 UFOs completed.
I like the way you have quilted each block differently. So much work. I also like your UFO page. I think I need to do something like that myself to keep me on track.
ReplyDeleteYour work is so beautiful and you have a marvelous blog. Thank you so much for sharing with your fellow quilters (and fellow daughters of 90 yr old mothers ...). You made my day.
