Quilt Complete

Finished hand stitching the binding onto the quilt featured in the above images.  It always feels so good to finish up a project.  The raised beds are all in and have transplants or seeds in them. Will share images very soon. Wishing each of you a wonderfully magical weekend. Enjoy the journey.

Quilting Results

 A long arm quilting session was completed yesterday in just under three hours. I used orange thread and a meandering pattern. I really enjoyed the process and with practice will be able to tackle more complicated patterns. Now to attach the binding. Enjoy the journey.

Front and Back

This project is coming together nicely. Both pieces will be quilted together Wednesday. I have made an appointment to use the long arm quilting machine I recently had a lesson on, should be interesting. Hope the weekend treats each of you very well.
Enjoy the journey.

Kim, thanks so much for sharing this snap with us.

Merry Christmas!!!!

The images above are of a felt toy for a wee girl for Christmas and a hat I am nearly finished knitting. There is something about creating something with your hands, I love the experience.
Merry Christmas to each of you! May the holiday be filled with magical moments, spent with those you hold dear.

A Glimpse

A quilt for Scott. I am currently hand stitching the binding on to it. It is another Little Bits Quilt, the first one I made can be seen here. Quilt front is navy blue with a single pieced strip consisting of the navy blue and six shades of purple. The quilt back is purple.  This is the first quilt that I had machine quilted by someone else. I was able to find a local shop to do the work, Legacy Longarm Quilters, they offer classes, rentals and an array of quilting services.  The quilting turned out so well and once I have the binding attached I will post some more images. The quality of the above images isn't great, they were taken with the camera on my cell phone. Enjoy the journey.
