I Like Thursday #267

It's time for Thursday likes! Please visit LeeAnna over at Not Afraid of Color to link up with more blogs taking part in I Like Thursday! I finished these cross stitch pieces a few weeks ago but it took a while to add a border and quilt them. I finally finished them up this morning. I just have to sew down the binding. The one on the left is about 10" square while the other one is 9" square. I'll be displaying them as soon as they're done. It's not too warm today but it does feel more like Spring. I actually quilted these two on the long arm! I used the same backing so it was quick to load and finish them up.

Speaking of spring, look at my Christmas cactus! It has so many new little leaves growing. I think it happened overnight. So exciting for me since I don't have a green thumb. 

Here's my Alaska quilt. It's all washed and bound. I put in 2 color catchers when I washed it. It seems to have done really well. Although I prewash my fabric, I still am unsure if anything will run in the wash. I also used a wool batting which is supposed to show off the quilting well even after washing it. My quilting is still very visible. I've had some quilts where the quilting is hard to see after that first wash. It must be from shrinking, not sure. 

Have a Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!
