Work in Progress


I ADORE this Quilt pattern and fabric!!!

It is what is known in Quilting lingo...as a QUILT TOP...and a WIP (work in progress) or UFO (unfinished object---don't like this phrase!!)

I'm in the process of "Quilting" ...I would have liked to have done this one by HAND, but my health issues at the moment don't allow me. Thus...OUTLINE stitching. I haven't decided on the border "Quilting" ..so if anyone has suggestions...say on!!!

In my admiration of this lovely top...my SWEET friend..making this for herself..decided to send it to ME! What a treasure! The friendship and the Quilt top.





I had even sent her some of the fabrics in the top!! Amazed at how she put them ALL in this...Says a lot for her EYE for COLOR! A MUST in Quilting..you have to have that one or two fabric "POP" to catch your eyes..and give them also a rest in the overall viewing of a Quilt.

(hey I really do know SOMETHING about the art of Quilting!!!)

I have other projects in the making as I am able...always a SOCK MONKEY!

(You can read of my health updates and prayer needs at my other blogs)

THANK YOU FRIENDS for following my blog and the encouragement it gives to keep CREATING FROM THE HEART!!

Blessings to you..

I love those colors! Yes, you do need an eye for color to make pretty quilts. I don't have an eye for it but I know what looks good once I see it, and yours is just beautiful.
