No Excuses

 Very little sewing / quilting was done. I just wasn't motivated. I've had a very stern talk with myself, and we've agreed that an attitude change is needed. So, I'm late posting because I finally got the borders on the Wind Drift quilt tonight. Now I can change the thread on the Juki.

I did attempt to quilt the sunflower wall hanging. 

All is done except the large flower. The orange thread I'm using kept breaking. So frustrating. I've taken it off the frame and will try to finish it on the Juki. Wish me luck.  (I've done it again...while I was cussing out the thread, I realized that one of the center fabrics has a blue background, not black. I think this is the third quilt I've made thinking a print background was black when it was actually a dark blue...oh, well. Too late now. More cussing occurred.)

My guild's quilt show was this past weekend. Below are my two favorite quilts from the show.

Love how colorful and vibrant this quilt was.

Loved the quilting and the design of the quilt below.

I loved the quilting in the quilt below.

It was perfect for the fabrics used.

There were lots of other wonderful quilts but I didn't take very many pictures.

The deer are back. I saw two bucks in the front yard earlier last week and mama with last year's babies over the weekend. I hope they stay away from my hydrangea this year. 

Almost Done

 I have a few almost dones.  

Donation quilt that just needs binding.

Finally! quilted the sunflower wall hanging. Now it just needs binding.

I'm so pleased with how the quilting turned out on this wall hanging (even with the tension issues). I took it very slow and planned my quilting path.

Why aren't they done? Because I don't want to change thread color. I have black loaded on the Juki and I don't want to change it until this is done.

I have one more border of the background fabric to add and it will be done. I LOVE IT!
