Decisions,decisions

I'm starting maching quiliting the borders tomorrow and can't decide what to do. I think a nice diagonal pattern on the corner brown pieces but want something really abstract on the blue as it is really solid and boring looking.

I'll have to get searching the web for some inspirations.

Quilting Poem

The Patchwork Quilt by Elizabeth Fleming

She mixes blue and mauve and green,
Purple and orange, white and red,
And all the colours in between
To patch a cover for her bed.

Oblong, triangle, star and square,
Oval and round, she makes them fit
Into a wondrous medley there,
Colour by colour, bit by bit.

Over her knee it swiftly flows,
And round her feet, a bright cascade,
While at her touch it grows and grows,
Until at last the quilt is made.

And then across the bed it lies,
A thing of gorgeous crazy bloom,
As if a rainbow from the skies
Had shattered in her little room.

its going well .....

but its going to take ages to baste. It took me an hour to do this little bit so that 2 weeks plus! Don't hold your breath for comments on how the quilting is going.

The beginning of the end -

Its starching time, I only just spotted that the you tube lady said this was advisable to help with quiliting. It all seems to have pressed up ok so its folding and basting day tomorrow.

What beautiful weather

ok so I know the snow is a pain for all trying to do stuff but it does look wonderful

not my garden but the local golf course.

I have been sooooo busy

since my middle daughter had her boyfriend to visit mid december I haven't had a minute to myself. Will tell all that has been going on soon. Needless to say santa was very kind!

Hope you all had a blessed christmas and a happy new year to all.
