SEW what did I get done while our Task Master Quilt Sue cracked her whip during our Christmas Quilt-a-Long? :o)
Well to be quite honest, I was afraid to put away my current project, (Settler’s Pride) to start something Christmassy…just because I KNOW that if I packed up this project, that would be it…out of sight, OUT OF MIND…it would be banished into the Land of UFOs never to be seen again!! AND I REALLY want to finish this one THIS year!
So I put on this…
And while I listened, I hand stitched…and got the last two blocks FINISHED…Yeah!! Feels so good!!
I LOVE this quilt!!
Now I just have the top and bottom borders to hand stitch, then baste on the flannel backing, hand quilt it and put the binding on. (For the binding fabric I ordered a beige/brown, blue/ green plaid suit weight wool..which is in the mail! If it turns out to be too light in colour I will dye it a mottled black.)
I can see the light at the end of the tunnel…oops..I can also see my fluffy pink bathrobe!! :o)
Thanks SEW much Sue and Cathi for cracking the Christmas whip!! I got a ton done!! :o)
Hope you have a Super Sunday and Happy Quilting!!~P
Oh my goodness! Paulette, it is gorgeous!! That was a great way to spend your day!!
ReplyDeleteI adore your wool applique. I've been collecting piece by piece to start one of my own. You're inspirational.
ReplyDeleteYou really did a lot of work on that piece and it came out so beautifully. That is going to be gorgeous hanging on a wall.

Gorgeous Paulette! You are my wool applique idol!
ReplyDeleteGood finish. And since it is to be my Christmas gift (isn't it?), it really was for the Sew-Along.
ReplyDeleteIt is gorgeous, but I think you need to explain to Karen that it's not her Christmas pressie, it's mine!
ReplyDeleteOMG, Paulette! It's stunning!
ReplyDeleteWTG, gal! I think I'm in LOVE with this pattern. Your color choices are gorgeous too.
I'm so proud of you for sticking to it and gettin' er done!!

ReplyDeletebeautiful Paulette!! And I love the quilt on your previous blog as well - very, very nice. I enjoy the addition of green with the blue. Thanks for the photos
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! This is turning out so pretty!
ReplyDeletewow...that is amazing......
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is absolutely gorgeous! Yea for you for sticking with it.
ReplyDeleteI also wanted to tell how impressed I was with your machine quilting. I loves those roses. For some reason I couldn't get the comment thing to work for me on your blog during the time you were working on those.
You GO, girl!!! I'm very impressed!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunning and good for you, not to be distracted with something else.
ReplyDeleteI am so loving it-did you find the pattern problematic? I rhink I remember reading of some who said it had to be enlarged or something before they could start.
You are so nearly there-can't wait to see,
Shazy x
This is lovely well done
