Quilting and gardening...

I have been busy the past week with many things...
Cliff has had a stomach bug that hit him twice, so we have been staying in and 
taking care of him, eating lightly and listening to a lot of needed rain!!


My high school girlfriend brought over some fabric for me to make TWO quilts for her
new grand daughters..yes, two...her only daughter is expecting twin girls!!
Here is her lovely fabric...

pictures of the quilts later.

While watching/listening to the rain, I have been working on my sunflower quilt.

I decided to machine quilt the sashing to hold all in place

machine embellish the border

and hand quilt each sunflower


and tack the center of each...


What do you think?



A few garden pics too...











Blessings,
Kathy

  1. Your sunflowers are coming along nicely! They look great!
    Your garden is also really nice. Enjoy the rain! We had a little but need more. We are now considered a "disaster" area because of the droughts.
