I am on a winning streak!
This time it is this awesome pattern from Linda of
Click on her blog name to see the quilt up close.
Both her design and the quilting are exquisite.
Her pattern reproduces one of the quilts from the
Infinite Variety Show.
Perhaps this will inspire me to finish my red and white quilt.
The weather cooled down dramatically and I mustered enough energy to sew the binding on Pinwheels for Caroline. I love scrappy bindings, so I chose to do this one in black scraps...perhaps not my best idea. However, I am using up my stash, which was my original goal with this quilt. The one good decision I made was to go with a wool batt.
I love the texture and it hasn't been washed yet!
Ignore the dark stripe running across the quilt...poor photo.
Block 4 of PFH is done.
The BOM instructor gave us a new stitch for the stem.
She plans to show us a few more variations,
so I will try all of them and then choose my favorite.
BTW, the #42 teal I ordered was the wrong color.
It is so hard to tell from the pics on the computer the true color of the thread.
So, my clorox lightened thread will just have to suffice...it is the thread on the darkest petals.
Company is coming!
Next week my DD and I will be hosting Thanksgiving dinner, as well as out of town guests.
Lots of work to get the house and all the meals prepared.
So, I will wish everyone a
Happy Thanksgiving
now.
Ahh, nice red and white quilt pattern! Have fun! I started the Pennies from Heaven blocks and need to choose my wools. Yours are still looking lovely! I am going to see if it looks nice all scrappy in color. Ginger is still needing me close and I am getting little bits done here and there. I hope to start stitching tonight on these blocks and hope to catch up with you soon!!
ReplyDeleteOn block four what does PFH mean?
ReplyDeleteI would never have thought of using Clorox to lighten a thread color. Good idea.
