Sunday Afternoon...


The Machine quilting is complete.  I need to wash out the old marker lines.  But I'm tickled it's done.


One for the books--- a collage of fat quarters..Not my favorite quilt but a great one for keeping someone warm at night.

It reminds me not to quit and give up on pieces-- no matter how old they are.  I'm going to work on a brand new piece next...then back to finding another UFO. 

Summer is flying fast.  We're losing 2 minutes of sunshine a day...yuck...
I find myself looking for any excuse to be outside.  I live on my porch-- where I'm typing right now. Weeding the garden, watering flowers, running my pups... reading a book.  Just to listen to the woods.  Lawnmowers are completely insulting - unless they are push mowers...somehow they fit the picture.

It's beautiful and if you don't like it, I'd be happy to take it off your hands! :) Congratulations on a finish!

It sounds like a peaceful place to be, your Upper Peninsula... lush and relaxing. I think your quilt is beautiful... love the fabric colors!

Hey, if you're looking for UFO's, I have a few you can work on!

I love the feeling of completing an old project. The sense of accomplishment is great. I need to keep picking away at UFO's if only for that reason.

I don't mind lawnmower noise in the distance, next door not so much. But then again its not for long and the curb appeal is a pleasant result :-)

It ia beautiful quilt, Melanie, and a great finish! I'll try not to envy your summer leaving. Ours is in full, hot, humid swing!

That pot is just perfect. Well done on your finishes, sounds like you have the perfect spot to stitch.

Happy days.

I love the quilt and you can't beat a finish! Sorry, our days are stealing your extra sunlight and each day gets a little longer as we move toward Spring.
