{Post 1,156} Spool Quilt Fin-Fin-Finished!

What a great feeling to take this out of the dryer and put it on the bed!  Quick stop outside to get a picture:

Then to the bedroom:

{Post 1,155} Flower Bed Before and Some Flower Pics

My husband is working on this flower bed today.  It is all planned out.  Now to just work the plan!

Here are some before pictures:

Here is one of my peonies with this year's growth:

I don't know what possessed me to grab that strip of green go make the spools the right width!  But what is done is done.  Debbie, I have lost track of you and don't have an email or anything.  Please re-contact me!

Quilt is just coming out of the dryer.  More pictures to come.

{Post 1,153} Snowball Quilt Machine Quilted

This is heavy on pictures and short on words.  I did the first loops in navy, second in dark red.  The quilting pattern is called Double Bubble.  

All Thimbleberries fabrics.  Finishes at 68" x 80".

{Post 1,152} Double Teaming

This is me double teaming the binding and the math.  I was doing two math lessons with my son.  Figured I might as well start on the third side of my spools quilt binding while I was "just" sitting there waiting for him to do the 25 problems for each lesson.  

From left to right above the quilt is my sewing projects bag, the math key with my Gingher embroidery scissors on them, a math paper, the math text book, and just off to the right, my brilliant son!

After I finish this post, it's off to work on machine quilting my snowball gift quilt.  Neat new pattern.  Hope it comes out like I imagined.  It's a very large loop meander (think tennis-ball sized) that is being stitched first in navy and then in dark red, the second shadowing the first.  At least that's the plan!

Three guesses who's coming home tonight?

Remember, this is a very large 16" x 20".  Hope he doesn't miss it!
