Another one finished. :)

I'd been saving the handwork on my latest quilt so I could take it with me to my jury duty. It's a good thing I called the day before, though; they not only didn't allow *any* scissors -- they didn't even allow needles! :O BTW, jury duty (my seventh in 9.5 years here) was at least partially good, in that I ended up on a one-day trial, just after a



*four-month* trial had ended.

At any rate, I've now finished the little quilt I began last summer at camp when I was learning Sharon Schamber's turned-edge machine appliqué method. I took that class in order to learn a way to make that dragon I recently finished. Now the class piece is also finished, and I've posted pics at . I loved quilting this one! I used lots of feathers -- my favorite motif. The little bunches of flowers are dimensional; DH loves them. Oh, and I didn't have enough fabric for a binding, so I tried a facing instead -- with our Pat on the Hill's encouragement. :) I think that facing came out rather well; IOW, you can't see it. LOL!


Oh Sandy, that is so lovely. The bubbly filler stitch is wonderful; and no evidence of a facing at all. Hugely well done. I bet you will do facing again! Doesn't it give a beautiful finish? But, your quilting is something I will never be able to achieve. I think I just don't like it enough. . In message , Sandy writes

Beautiful Sandy

Love the quilting, especially the bubble area. I love dimensional flowers as well. They are fun to add here and there on some quilts.

By the way, are you enjoying your spring break this week or later? Sadly mine is almost over. Trying to finish up two very small paper-pieced pieces today for Birthday gifts in April. Will post pictures soon I hope.

That's a dandy Sandy!!! Hey...it rhymes! The quilting is wonderful! I'm worried about the vase tipping over with those tall flowers in it. ;-)

Oh now I see the red bottom on the vase....I think that's wide enough. tee hee.

That is wonderful. I've always admired your top-making skills, and your machine quilting is right up there with them! I love your bubbles/pebbles - a really nice touch.

Sandy they are stunning.

When I grow up I want to be able to machine quilt half as good as you....

Thanks, Heidi -- you're very kind. :)

Wow! I like that report card, Pat, but I think you may be a bit biased. ;)

Thanks, Louise. Those pebbles are easy and fun to do. :)

LOL! Thanks, for the poem, Kathyl. :) I don't think anything will tip over, though -- it's all rather firmly weighted.
