yes indeed, at 70 degrees i am claiming spring to have arrived! yesterday balmy at 64....waiting for shuttle with no hat or coat and sitting in the warm sun...priceless! aside from that brief grocery trip, been whiling away hours on different things....first, those little hexies got some time...
dug out chookshed challenge piece and played a bit with those little hexies and how to finish this border....after quite a few trials, i like this one so far....those corner pieces will go...that leaves one more border that is planned already. good project for sewing on the porch...
and indeed, the weekend was spent on serious quilting time on 'dreams'.....this is how it's looking so far...
always longing for the beach, was given this panel that i quickly trimmed, backed with flannel and hung on my door....
some regular appointments sidelined as county systems have been cyberhacked and no transportation can be scheduled. nothing serious so no big problem for me. at least good weather so can venture outside more for change of scenery and a smidgen of cabin fever relief. am thankful for those who drag me along but longing to just jump in the car and go anywhere by myself and not feel like a pet on a leash....or handicapped....sigh....bike time and fresh air will chase the gloom away!
I am so impressed with your hand quilting--beautiful. I can't wait for our first day at the beach! We have to wait for it to warm up a bit but not wait too long when it will be TOO hot! lol
ReplyDeletethank you....looks great from a galloping horse...lol
DeleteThe hexie border is so cute. It plays so well with the center design. Your quilting on the 'Dreams' quilt is so lovely. There is nothing life the play of light and shadow on a hand quilted item. Nice!
ReplyDeleteI love the panel quilt with your hexies and your beachside one is lovely. I envy your hand quilting skills

ReplyDeleteGrace, the Dreams quilt takes my breath away. I adore it!!
ReplyDeleteSure wish you were near to me so you could help me learn to hand quilt. I tried a little last summer and will have to tear it out and begin again. Enjoy the spring temperatures.
I do like where you are going with the hexies and your Dream quilt is, so dreamy!
ReplyDeleteYour quilting on "dreams" is amazing!!
ReplyDeleteI love the blue border on the quilt in the first photo. I think it's fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI wanted to tell you I can identify with your no car situation, though our being without a car was short term. It had to go in for a new transmission. My husband thought it was for two days, after it was in the shop we learned it was five days. We actually didn't HAVE to go anywhere, but being without a car left me feeling stranded and wonder, with if there's an emergency or if I do need to go somewhere after all. I actually think of you more often that you can imagine, Grace, there without transportation except by the grace of others.
