This is where I go to meet the others for quilting group.
Yes, the azaleas are blooming already!
The first QOV is completed and delivered; I finished the binding
and the label sewn by hand onto the back.
I even bound the mermaids today.
I wondered about who this one would go to and I have decided it will stay at my house to be
shared by all 4 of my grand daughters because I cannot (will not) be making one for each of them!
I will hand soak, spin and then machine dry this today;
I didn't want to toss it into the washer because of the hand embroidery-
another reason to keep it under my care!
I bet that mermaid quilt will become a favorite. The girls will be begging for a nap. My great grandmother had a butterfly quilt that she had embroidered that she used the same way. When she passed they gave it to me, the eldest. I loved it literally to death. There isn't even a scrap of it left but I do have some photos of me sleeping with it even in my 20's-which now seems so long ago. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteThat turned out so well! Can't believe the blooms!!
ReplyDeleteI really like the effect of the QOV. I know it will be appreciated and thank you for making it. And that mermaid quilt is gorgeous. I think keeping it is a wise decision. Piper would love a quilt like that.
ReplyDeleteFlowers already? And I'm worrried about driving almost to Idaho to my cardiologist appointment today. I need to move somewhere warmer where there are flowers in January! :-)
Blessings,
Betsy
Both great quilts!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on a fabulous QOV finish. I hope you'll be able to see it awarded and wrapped around a veteran.
ReplyDeleteThat community center is darling! Good idea for the quilt. It will be shared and loved!
ReplyDeleteLovely finishes on a lot of stuff! You came through Jacksonville a few hours before us, but I avoid that low bridge over the St John!! I go through town now.
