Getting a quilt top finished..........


I finally cut an assortment of lengths off the 2" yellow batik strips and pieced borders.  I got them all sewn on but haven't pressed it yet.  This is somewhere near 36" x 46".

I also cut 2 lengths for a backing for an older quilt top and spritzed the creases. Today I'll press the fabric and get it sewn together and load it on the longarm.


Late yesterday afternoon I baked some Amish Friendship bread, top view of one loaf here.  This loaf is for a granddaughter.  I ate some of the other loaf; someone had to be the quality control tester.

It feels like sunshine on a summer day! And of course baked items must be tasted to ensure quality:)

Oh my gosh! How I love this quilt. Makes me happy just to look at it. It's a reminder of sunshine, warm gentle breezes and chirping birds. Just what we need during this winter wonderland weather we're having.

Cheerful sun shines on the birds of winter... lovely this wonderful yellow. It banishes the white and gray of winter.
So far we have had little sun and little snow... Longing for the sun.
Your bread looks very good and tasting it honestly is just wonderful.

I love this quilt! It's nothing that would ever occur to me to make, so I'm extra impressed.

That yellow quilt just gets better and better. The bread looks yummy. I haven't made the Amish Friendship bread in awhile, but remember it tasting really good.
