It's Thursday so it's time for a happy and upbeat post. I'm so happy to say I have finished quilting Long Time Gone! I'm just posting this one picture for now. I'll be doing a whole post with more pictures. I tried some different quilt motifs and learned a few tricks! It took awhile to quilt but I'm glad it's done and looks pretty good!
I went to the dentist this week. The office staff tried to make things cheerful. I noticed there were no magazines to read while waiting. I suppose that's a good thing since we don't want to touch magazines that someone else has been handling. It just shows so many things have changed.
I stuck my legs in our little pool one day after work. It was surprisingly refreshing! I hung out on my deck for a while. It was a nice way to decompress from an exhausting day.
This is the backing I got for the t-shirt quilt I'm working on. I found out the quilt owner loves cats. I love the watercolor look of this fabric. I think it will be a nice contrast with the t-shirts. I just finished backing each block with fusible interfacing. However, I have to re-iron some blocks since the interfacing didn't fuse as well as it should have. I may use a little basting spray to really get it stuck on well.
That's my likes for the week! It's been hot and rain has been scarce. I can't believe it's almost August! Where does the time go? Please visit LeeAnna at Not Afraid of Color to read more fun and positive posts!
Hi Rosemary! Congrats on finishing your quilt! It looks gorgeous as does your quilting. Learning something and trying something new is a good thing. Yay you! Ahh, that pool looks so refreshing. I'll bet that woke you up and made your feet feel great. ~smile~ Roseanne

DeleteThat quilt is amazing! Great colors and I love all those blocks. That back deck pool looks refreshing! Love that backing - look forward to seeing that quilt, too.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sally! It's taking a while just getting that t-shirt quilt ready to quilt. It may take awhile!

DeleteLong Time Gone is awesome. That is the best part about a pool, is just relaxing and dipping your toes somedays.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Colette! The pool is small but easy to care for!
DeleteLong time is beautiful. Congrats! Great way to cool off and relax.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dawn. I hope you're staying cool too! It's been hot for too long!
DeleteI'll echo what everyone is saying and state your Long Time Gone is beautiful. What an heirloom it will be. Too bad you can't drop by my place, Rosemary, and have a dip in the pool. It is quite refreshing as you say especially in the heat.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jocelyn! I wish we lived closer so we could visit each other! We'd have a great time!
DeleteWow! That is one beautiful finish! I spent some time just gazing at your beautifully intricate quilt! Yes, things have changed quite a bit. What a lovely way to decompress! Looks so relaxing! Take care!
