Well, I’ve been working away at my usual crafts. Just not taking time to blog about it. I’ll try to catch up with everything this week. But one thing I’ve been working on consistently is that big quilt that I was using a pattern for. The quilt was published in The Quilt Life magazine six years ago!
First I quilted all the churn dash blocks.
Next I drew hundreds of pomegranate designs on the quilt and quilted them.
Then it was time to add a couple of big rows of leaves and vines.
And THEN there were two big rows of feathers. I also decided to put feathers all the way around the outside border. That is the only change I made in the quilt.
And finally (even though you could see them in the previous pictures,) I started adding hundreds and thousands of bubbles to outline the pomegranates and leaves. Just about every day I would spend some time working on these. My eyes got very tired, and I asked my long arm friend about it. She said I needed to blink my eyes more!
And then on Friday, all of a sudden, I was done with all the bubbles! Saturday I put the binding on and washed it. I am too short, so even though I was standing on a stepladder, I couldn’t get a great picture of the finished quilt. But you can get the idea. Just in time to keep me warm all winter. Its fun having a quilt that hangs over the edges of the bed more than most of my quilts do.
I’m working on several projects (of course) and am enjoying spinning and knitting as well. I’ll post a few more times this week to try to catch up on my projects.

wow, all those seeds…quilted!! You’re sure a busy bee.
WOWZERS! That is so beautiful! I also love the mini square next to some of the larger squares.
I pieced the mini squares by hand. It was easier than trying to do them on the machine!
Beautiful, I love seeing what you’re working on.
Thank you for sharing.
I think I might go on a self retreat…
I’ll have to explain it to the Hubby : )
Beautiful!
