Busy as a beaver.............
I finally had a good sewing day. I didn't work in the gardens at all except for a quick half hour of weed pulling. I got the quilting done on the yellow quilt. I think there are 3 flowers. I'd have to go back down in the basement to check........maybe some other time.
There are lots of wavy lines with a loop now and then.......and some leaves in the same row of squares as the flowers.
If you click on the picture you can see some rows are just wavy lines and some are leaves and flowers. I will get it trimmed today and pick a binding fabric.
This Trip Around the World has been waiting forever for a border so finally I got that done. It is 91" x 110" now.
Once again the camera says blue but it is really a blue violet. You can see the whole quilt before the border was added here.
I am going to be teaching the Strips 'n Curves class this month at our local quilt shop so today I will chose strips to make a strata from. I will need a quilt in progress for demonstration purposes and I only have a week to get ready for it.

    The trip around the world quilt looks so different close up in comparison to the older picture. You get to see all the wonderful fabrics you chose, better. Very pretty.

  8. The quilting is perfect. Someone gave our church guilt group hundreds of 4" squares. One of the members sorted them by color. This quilt is the inspiration to put these squares together in a like manner.

  16. I agree you are by far the most productive quilt artist I know. And it is pure joy for me that you share it all with us !

    The explosion of the yellows is full of summer sunshine. Love the free motion quilting with your blossoms, waves and loops.
