I was able to quilt this adorable quilt for Community Quilts. I love the creative use of the hexagons. It gave me the chance to work on my swirls – really like the texture.
Bits & Pieces
A finish
This is one of my favorite stitch samplers to date. I really like the striped fabric and the turquoise backing – which is my favorite color. I used the stripes to practice my ruler work and then got distracted with some feathers. The Glide thread was really nice to use.
I am going to add a faux piped binding that is turquoise and bright yellow.
On the Long-arm
I found another great piece on fabric an the free-table at Guild meeting. It is a striped fabric with a modern feel to it. I had bought some gold Glide thread that I needed to try before using it on a customer quilt.
The gold thread on the turquoise back is Yummy. I had so much fun. I was going to make it available for sale – but I like it so much that I may need to keep it.
Vacation
Mark and I had the privilege of co-driving a group of teens and pre-teens to “The Wilds” camp in North Carolina. I was beautiful weather and the scenery was so restful. Our cellphones did not receive more than half a bar – so not really a signal and we had very limited WiFI – once again restful.
We enjoyed taking hikes and spying on all the kids.
I got some pictures of the scenery, the many different flowers that were blooming and the kids – but not many as I left my phone in the room most the week.
Abstract Leaves – Update
I am slowly working away on my quilt. I am loving the colors.
