Here's the quilt I finished last week. This was the Vicksburg BOM from Dawn. The back is the same as the swags, which was the rich blue floral I posted a few days ago.
My machine quilting is a bit folksy- not perfect by a long shot, but I'm happy with the end result. I gave it to a newly married couple and I hope they like it.
Here's the start of my Wool Crazy round robin. Kaaren asked if I'd be interested and of course, I jumped right in! Paulette and Karen are the other participants. My theme is all things summer.
This was my first base which I opted to redo. I felt like i had too many pieces for the foundation that would be distracting to the applique and stitching. I think a little applique and lots of embroidery will make this a fun one to work on myself.I tried a few of the zucchini recipes. Thumbs up on the stuffed zucchini and the quick zucchini saute. I'm having another flush of them so I'll be trying a few more. Thank you for those who sent links or posted recipes.
Your finished quilt is amazing - and it looks great. How will you bear to give it away? The quilting is just great!
ReplyDeleteThe wool project is looking good. I love the flag.
What a lovely gift!!! I think your machine quilting looks great - it looks like you did quite a lot of quilting - you've been busy! I'm looking forward to seeing the progress on both your new wool projects.
ReplyDeleteOh Lori, Your quilt is beautiful and machine quilting is wonderful. How neat that you are giving this treasure to special people. Thank you for sharing your lovely work!

Lucky couple to receive a quilt as a gift. It was beautiful and I think the quilting was great. You also save a pretty penny doing it yourself.
ReplyDeleteI love the quilt and I'm sure the recipients will also! The quilting looks great as well. It is really an awesome quilt. Good luck with the zuchinni - hee hee! DS wanted to know if I wanted any - they have an overload. Of course, they are in Oregon, so I declined.
ReplyDeleteL-O-V-E that quilt, Lori!!! It's awesome.
ReplyDeleteNow that I've seen your Wool Crazy pincushion, I can start to think about what I'm going to add to it...and I think I already know what it's going to be. Hurry up Mr. Postman!
Your Vicksburg quilt is wonderful! The machine quilting looks good too. I need to dig my blocks out, see where I left off, and get busy on it.
ReplyDeleteI like the second wool crazy base better than the first. I need to think about what I might add to it.
Your finished quilt is wonderful. It is sweet of you to gift it after all the work you put in. Lucky couple!!
