Sweet Progress
Few words, many pictures. . . really! Don't have time to write a long post (adult responsibilities are calling loudly and I have to get out of the studio!) but just quick, Off Course is squared, binding is sewn on the front and glued to the back. Let the hand sewing commence! I have had no issues so far - I'm going to say it again, if you are having 'binding issues' (of the quilty kind of course) watch Sharon Schamber's binding video. More steps and more work? Might seem like it but I can tell you this, it was WAY faster for me than having to take the binding off and put it back on ;) I even took a couple of snaps of the back! And finally a couple of pictures of some crocheting I have done out of necessity - cooler temps are here in the early morning hours. We take the pups out mountain biking every morning and I have been F R E E Z I N G. So I whipped up a cap, fingerless mittens and I'm working on a scarf :)
Enjoy the show!

ReplyDeleteDitto!
DeleteYou seriously amaze me! The backing looks amazing and your crochet skills are impressive.
ReplyDeleteThis is stunning! I know the quilting went a different directions than you planned but I cannot imagine it any other way! So perfect!
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely and My God, the textures! I cant quilt for peanuts but I love them just the same.
ReplyDeleteYay!!! You got your mojo back, big time. Your quilt is fabulous, and your crocheted goodies look cozy and warm. :-)
ReplyDeleteYour binding is wonderful and so glad you found a happy place in Binding Land. Always a relief when you feel comfortable with a technique. A bit ironic that I posted today my so unskilled attempt at fingerless mittens and here you are with a so well crafted set. They are great as well.
ReplyDeleteLove the design and the quilting! Looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteThis looks so wonderful, Judy, and I *love* the photos of the back. Yay!
ReplyDeleteWow--what a fantastic-looking quilt! The quilting is exquisite, and the design has such a strong graphic quality. Great job!
ReplyDeletelooks great! Hope you're feeling well chuffed now its done and looking so well!
ReplyDeleteI love how you have geese in the quilting too. The shots of the back show what a good design you have ended up with.
ReplyDeleteThis quilt is more stunning each time I look at it. The fabrics too. OMG that dark grey looks like some kind of velvet, such depth! Love the overall effect of the quilting; it couldn't be more perfect. I have to do a solid backing on my next quilt; yours is just incredible...
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is beautiful, love all the quilting it really makes it special. Our weather is cold too and we are supposed to be at the start of Summer !!
ReplyDeleteWow that is great and the quilting...lovely!
ReplyDeleteYour yarn projects are gorgeous! I particularly like the blue kit and the scarf made with shells. The yarn looks soft and comfy. :-)
ReplyDeleteYour quilting on this quilt is amazing. I love it!
ReplyDeleteJudy - Your quilting adds such rich texture to your quilt - the whole picture is fantastic! It's funny how nicely your crocheted items match the quilt.
ReplyDeleteOh wow I love your quilting! Looks so super cool!
