Its a wrap.

 I finished at 3 pm yesterday and got  Sunflower on Blue

entered into the In Full Bloom on the last day possible.

I cannot believe it took over 34 hours to do this quilt.

But then I never kept track before.

 The gals at the FibR group did like the quilting.

I wasn't sure I did right by following the contour.

My husband did not like the quilting.

We shall see.

Today I will clean the studio. I need a clean start.

I do get messy.

I have some new projects and the big quilt to finish.

Enjoy this bright and warm day.



Spring

 Life is so good.

I enjoyed our fiber meeting last night.

Everyone is so talented.

I should have taken my camera so show you all

the beautiful things  they have created for our

show in May. I will definitely take it to the next

meeting so you can see for yourself.

We were all given a piece of African fabric to

use in our piece so there is a continuity to the

show. Very clever uses of the fabric.

Today I am headed to the studio to put the

backing, sleeve and binding on the sunflower

quilt. FINALLY I will be done.

Stitching finished

I stitched for 5 hours yesterday.

I am not sure I like how the background turned out.

But no going back.

Just needs backing sleeve and binding.

I do love the color combination.

The blue just pops the yellow.

I snow dyed the background so I know I can

make that color again.

Tonight is FibR meeting. I go to Lafayette and

shop, go to Barnes & Noble, Sam's club for

vegetables and supper at Red7 with the grandsons.

A nice interlude before starting back on the

BIG quilt.

Have a nice day.

Shopping again

 We went to Shipshewanna for a concert again.

We  went on Monday and we are still both very

tired. The Booth Brothers are so good.

I was very bad again. I bought too too  much

fabric. The browns and greens are for me.

I am going to make a quilt for our bedroom.

Finally something just for us.

 Than I needed some solids.'I found that Yoder's

has the best prices on solids. 6.50 a yard.

The best thing is you get to see the true colors.

 I have taken a liking to the stripes from the Fasset

collection. They are so mellow.

Now I am going to have to live to 120 to use

all of this fabric.

Good thing we are not going back until FALL.

Sunday ride

 Yesterday I took a ride to see the countryside.

It was a lovely day, warm and sunny most of the day.

 Sundays are a day of just quiet reflection and rest.

It refreshes my soul for the week ahead.

It will be a busy week. As usual.

I look forward to creating something beautiful.

Sunflower on blue is almost done.

It will be finished by Thursday.

Well I am off to the studio.

Have a  great day.
