So this has been a crazy,loud, restful and now busy weekend. Friday afternoon my family room looked huge but by later that evening...not so much. My hubby is part of a band that jammed here friday night. Nine musicians and gear can sure fill a space. Some of the wives came too...so it was a great evening. That lead to the restful day yesterday...I am not use to those late nights/early morning parties!So today the plan is a "ME" day!!! I have just a bit of hand quilting to do and then I will be searching out some binding for this quilt. I have two other quilts that require labels before Tuesday. Our guild meeting was cancelled last week due to weather and rescheduled for this week. I can get these two quilts shown at guild and delivered too!

My hexie quilt continues. I have come to the realization that I have to make more diamonds to fill in those empty spots and get the quilt into a more rectangular shape.DH wonders how come I don't see hexies every time I close my eyes!!Hmm never thought of that before!?!

How fun to have a concert in your own home. I like all your beautiful projects.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun evening you had! I just went back and read you last post about your hexi quilt and needing to hand quilt. I made a 30s reproduction grandmother's flower garden and am hand-quilting it. It's a loooong term project. I am now piecing a Martha Washington flower garden like yours. I plan to machine quilt it. I want the 30s quilt to look old, soft, and crinkled, so I didn't prewash the fabrics and used 100% cotton batting, but the new one is batiks and I don't feel the need to hand-quilt it. Enjoy the hand stitching and I can't wait to see the finished quilt!
ReplyDeleteDo you have to shovel snain?!?
