Streak of Lightning official portrait......

This zig zag quilt is officially done. I finished the binding last night while I watched the presidential debate.  I would like to wash it to soften the batting and thread before I get it to its recipient.  I used the heavy 12 wt. Blendables thread on top and 30 wt. Blendables in the bobbin.  I like the way it looks.   Yesterday I had to delete 29 spam comments by 9:30 p.m. because I still allow anonymous comments.  I may have to disable them so those who use anonymous might need to try one of the other options.
Tomorrow is my appointment with the eye specialist in Chicago.  I hope they diagnose it so I know what direction my life is taking.

  1. It looks great Wanda.
    I had to disable anonymous comments when I decided to stop moderating comments for that very reason. I occasionally get a spam comment but rarely more than one a month since I disabled anon comments.

  5. If they need to know something they can identify themselves. The contrast is just perfect on the quilt. Chris

  10. I do not take anonymous comments either - I also moderate my comments and they only go through automatically after the e mail they come from has been approved by me several times.
    Good luck at the doctor

  27. The zip-zag quilt is gorgeous.
    I hope you get the diagnosis tomorrow and then are on the road to dealing with this so that you're back to normal as soon as possible! This waiting must have felt like it dragged on forever.

  29. Amen to knowing what direction my life will take now........boy do I understand THAT one. But, I'm learning to trust in God and His timing, not mine. I pray that your news will be good. We are so blessed to have access to so many new procedures and techniques for treating problems !

    I REALLY like this quilt. It reminds me of the ones I made for awhile. I called them "my-side-of-the-bed quilts", because my husband was always hot and me cold, so we couldn't share enough covers for me. I just made up a couple of quilts to cover just me on my side !

    Nice job, Wanda......fun to follow you all the way through this one.

  35. I had to stop the anonymous, too, and I don't get anything near the comments and visitors you do. The qult is just gorgeous. Your quilting in the zig and zags just sets it off to perfection. I like your backing and binding choices, too.
    Believing for a good report for you!

  39. As I walked out of my neuro-otologists(sp?, I panicked because I didn't look at the calendar and had not taken the time to do my prayer list and I thought I had missed your specialist appointment. 15 minutes into the 2 hr drive I was just overwhelmed with the thought the visit is tomorrow. I think I was right. I'll try to be less selfish tomorrow. I love your zig zag.

  40. What a coincidence . . .I was sewing binding on a zigzag quilt last night during the debate too. Mine is for my grown son, and I call it Baby Genius Grows Up. I'll send you a link and picture after I present it to him, hopefully this weekend.
