Last week I accomplished quite a bit. I was able to quilt Drews, granddaughter Kyleigh's fiance quilt. It is just a simple panel, but I was able to practice several motifs, still need a lot more practice. I need to get the binding on still. His BD dinner is Wednesday.
For our quilt show this year, we were encouraged to make an 18 inch block celebrating the 250th anniversary of our country. I still need to finish mine up, but this is it so fa.
Our guild also has a challenge this year, which is due in April, to make a fabric collage portrait of yourself.
I've been working on mine, but can't show until after our meeting next month. I mulled it over in my mind about how I was going to do it since October. I finally got it mostly done. I need to do a little embroidery, then can quilt it.
I am also still working on Kyleigh's quilt. Hopefully will get a row on this week.
My wisteria is looking good. I have a mess to clean out in the garden, but the wisteria looks good.
My staghorn is looking good. This is what fell on my face last year.

Saturday was the plant sale our Begonia Society participates in. I wasn't going to get anything, but my resistance was zip. I only purchased one begonia, but then I got something called a flannel bush, a maidenhair fern, a rabbit's foot fern and something called a dendrobium, it is in the orchid family, a native Australian plant.
Me and my girls at the plant sale.
What I will be working on for Slow Sunday Stitching is my portrait quilt.
I will be linking up with Kathy's Quilts for Slow Sunday Stitching and https://quiltingpatch.
Lovely Panel Quilt finish--I have a great book for quilting using just your walking foot--"Walking" by Jacquie Gering--it has tons of neat paterns--I cannot get the hang of free motion work so this is my "go-to". Lovely picture of you and your daughters--how neat to visit the show together for the day. ;000 Hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteOh! Your wisteria is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteNice work! Our yard doesn't look a bit like yours since it's still covered with quite a bit of snow! Isn't it almost the first day of Spring?
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness I have never seen wisteria in real life before! So beautiful! You are always working on so many interesting projects!
ReplyDeleteLots of beautiful work happening on for you. Looking forward to seeing your challenge quilt.
ReplyDeleteDoes my mood good to see your colorful plants while it still winter in the US. Staghorns are awesome. I can’t make them grow here for some reason. 🤷♀️
ReplyDeleteLove seeing your smiling face! Your wisteria is beautiful! Good luck with your challenges.
ReplyDeleteA self portrait collage sounds interesting, and fun. Though, I wouldn't know where to start. Your wisteria is looking like it's one happy plant. Enjoy Drew's birthday celebration he is going to love his quilt!
