I know my poor little blog is feeling very neglected, but I've been quilting up a storm.
Remember this?
It took way longer than I thought it would, but it is now done. D. O. N. E.!
Lots of quilting late into the night. LOTS of bobbin changes!
Some quilting stitches I've never tried before - chrysanthemums and whatever you might want to call those swirly things...
And some that I'm pretty comfortable with, like leaves and herringbones...
And while I haven't been able to get a good picture yet - can you believe they've closed schools for the next 2 days because they expect snow! In Florida!! - I'm pretty pleased with this one.
The pattern was designed by my very own daughter. You can find it
here. The fabric is Beechwood Park, by Jeanean Morrison, and it is backed by one of the prints in the line. It finished at about 59" x 70".
Ta-Da!!
My first finish for 2014. One down, 13 to go.
oh it's lovely! what a talented daughter you have!
