during a zoom party last night, chose to work on "midnight at the oasis" attaching the appliques to the vine border. amazed at how much those few colorful additions have kicked this up yet another notch...
the pattern picture isn't clear enough regarding placement of the appliques, so just winged it and tried to make it look serendipitous to fit the design. not all are sewn yet but soon will be, then it's onward to the next border of checkerboard design. after that, one more border to flimsy and basting...could easily be a 2022 finish, i'm thinking.
pulled out a couple of free cross-stitch patterns to kit up for some lazy, warm weather stitching. these are small pieces, quickly finished, for those times when need a break from machine or hoop.
Such a pretty and bright quilt top to work on. Your applique pieces look great. Happy cross stitching.
ReplyDeleteA really lovely major project, one to treasure.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe I missed another Zoom along! I sure hope I can jump in to one soon!
ReplyDeleteThat quilt is so colorful, summery, and just plain delightful!
ReplyDeleteSorry I missed you on the Zoom. They told me you had been on earlier. I had grand intentions of joining early, but things got in the way and I ended up joining for an hour before going to bed.
i wish i could stay on longer but after 5 hrs or so my butt has had it...LOL...thanks again for kind words!
DeleteI missed the zoom too. I hope to be more available as soon as school gets out and I miss you guys.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is so happy. It makes me happy to look at it.
