Susie, Rachel, and I have been in Florida since Friday. Whew--trying to see 58 people in 4 days (slight exaggeration, but only slight!). I will save you from the boredom of logging each day. Since this is a mostly quilty blog, here's the news...I am only 9 quilting motifs away from finishing the hand quilting on my Hearts and Gizzards/A Mother's Heart/Highway Hearts quilt! I must decide on a final name. Most of this quilt was made while traveling, hence the Highway Hearts name.
Here is the shape I am hand quilting (I have quilted around and between each heart half on these parts)...
Here is an example of one quilted into my quilt--not easy to see it on a picture...
I copied the heart shape and quilted around it and between all 8 sections for a little extra quiltiness. Love it!
Here is the whole quilt, just 9 shy of the above motifs from being finished!!
Went to a fantastic antique emporium in FL. Saw 3 quilt racks that I wanted to get...the most expensive one was $12.50!! Two problems...1. no room in the vehicle 2. no room in the house! Have plenty of quilts to display!!

I know you'll be finished very soon. Not even on top of the vehicle could you fit such a treasure?
What a striking quilt! I love the scrappy look of it, and your handquilting is gorgeous.
Now this is another one I would love to make! Your handquilting is lovely and I love the colours you have used - and you are almost done!!
Beautiful!
It looks great! I wondered where you've been!
Your hand quilting is beautiful!
