almost a wholecloth

I made this log cabin/ applique quilt and now finished. The pics don't do it justice. The open areas are filled with applique on the flip side, the batting requires that it be stitched down every 8" and I have managed to do that in all areas. As you can see there is a lot of free motion quilting on this quilt. It is almost too pretty to sell so beaware it will be gifted but who too?? I am sure there will be a special occassion

It is true

I can bake I just can't find the time but today out of desperation and a wanting to get rid of some lingering ingredients I managed to make a load of date squares. Too hot to taste test but the house smells nice

Loops and swirls

My next project is about 75% done, I am stitching a large applique quilt, with feathers and loops. I am now in a position that I had to take it off the frame and turn it> my only regret is that the nice white cotton is so creased up from having it wrapped on the poles however that can be steamed out once done.

I am surprised at the decline of quality fabric and how thin weight them seem to be after all the sizing is removed. When I am finally finished with this you won't know there will be so much stitching PSI I can get away with it.LOL

YOu probably wanted to know why I have not been attentive. WEll
Ben has kept me on the run with all his medical appt's sudden blindness in one eye.
Retinal emergency surgery , drops and more drops and more Dr visits. We are up for more surgeries for Catarcts now and all the visits to get on the list.

In the meantime we salvaged this stroller, removed the fabric, washed it. Then Ben sanded down some key areas, I replaced waterproof fabric on the bottom that was worn and tires were pumped here is Ted's new ride, Now to find Ted!
