My little quilt to commemorate the Total eclipse of the sun is complete!
I finished the hand quilting on our flight back from Hawaii. I had not touched it the whole week and had a goal to finish it before arriving home.
Last nights photos.
Lizzy asked me if I made any purchases at the Scandinavian Festival and I said no, but I did! I'm always on the lookout for vintage linens at prices I can afford. I found 2 napkins and one embroidered towel. Any thoughts on what those letters may be? C R?
Have a lovely Monday! If I'm your facebook friend I've been sharing photos of my trip to Hawaii. I had an amazing time. I really love the warm weather. We got to meet my Nikki's (my sons girlfriend) parents. She fixed us a picnic lunch and it was a beautiful day inn upcountry Maui.
Love to you all today.
I love the Eclipse quilt! Your handquilting is beautiful, I love the texture it adds. Lovely backing too.
ReplyDeleteGood linens finds! I'd guess CR also but those old German letters are kind of obscure. Could be a G?
Maui in december--delightful! Was it warm?

I love your little quilt. The eclipse created quite a stir in our little town!
ReplyDeleteYour eclipse quilt is wonderful! I love your handquilting. What a great way to remember your eclipse experience. I'm glad you had a good trip to Hawaii. - we're going in January and I can't wait!
ReplyDeleteLooks wonderful, Lori!
ReplyDeleteA hint about getting good texture shots that don't require any special time of day is to side light the item!
I love your Total Eclipse quilt. And the hand stitching is lovely. I like to do hand quilting on small projects too.
ReplyDeleteYour Total Eclipse quilt is gorgeous. So unique. Those initials appear to be "CR' to me, on the napkins. Great find.
ReplyDeleteIt's totally wonderful - see what I did there. But seriously I'm blinded by your creativity.
ReplyDeleteLove the Eclipse quilt. Great remembrance.
ReplyDeleteYour little eclipse quilt came out great. I love the back, and I couldn't even tell that you pieced it (although I do that all the time). the hand quilting is great as well.

ReplyDeleteCould it possibly be a stylized C-A-R-L?
ReplyDeleteAnd hand quilted!
ReplyDeleteYour eclipse block makes me smile. What a great memory quilt for that wonderful experience!
ReplyDeleteHard to tell that the back is pieced.
That's the perfect quilt to commemorate the eclipse. I love the backing fabric too! I hope you are adjusting to real life again after being in Hawaii. I know it was amazing, loved your photos.
