This turned out to be such a fun project! It went well beyond “stupid sewing” 🙂 While I was sewing the little blocks together I noticed a sparkly thread on my sewing table that looked like it went with the blocks. So I thought I might try a meandering thread through the piece. Then I added some black lines and some french knots. Yesterday morning I got up and put a binding on it. Finished, I thought! But then I thought it would be fun to add some words to it. This time, instead of a Bible verse, I wanted to add a saying that a good quilting friend had shared with me. Thanks, Catherine!! I really love this saying.
She was unstoppable. Not because she did not have failures or doubts but because she continued on despite them. –Beau Taplin
The really finished quilt:

Today I’m planning to get back to some rug hooking, work on my big PEACE rug for a bit, and get the dye studio ready for a session of dying tomorrow. I LOVE a free week!!
This turned out quite marvelous! You are fast.
Inspiration hit you hard. It is a great piece.
Talk about “unstoppable” this quotation fits you perfectly. Love your enthusiasm about life.
First, I love that you put that quote on this piece, and also the way you did it – you are so creative! Second, doing the stitch in a ditch using black thread made the colors really pop! And adding your beautiful embroidery on top…this is super cute!
Love that verse
