We had such spring-like weather last week, and the week before, and then boom, yesterday we woke up to just the tiniest skiff of snow. It has remained chilly. We did get out and walk yesterday, but there was chilly breeze. We'll get out today too, since it's dry, but we'll definitely need a coat.
I mentioned going to a retreat in February. Last week I finished paper piecing the wallhanging top that I was working on at the retreat. I am real happy with it. Now I need to sandwich it and quilt it. I'm kind of waiting for an aha! moment that will tell me how I should quilt it.
On Monday my friend and I got together and worked on our Farmer's Wife quilt blocks. I have finished a few more and haven't shown them for a while, so here they are. I am happy with the way they are coming out, and I am starting to think about how I'm going to put it together. The author of the book has hers on point and sashed, and I want to do that, but I also want to do a bit more, so that much is still up in the air. And, of course, I have to find the perfect sashing fabric.
your! wallhanging really sings, the colours and piecing are fabulous!I would have no clue how to quilt it either! will you do it by hand or machine?
ReplyDeleteI love your lilies and the color is spectacular.
ReplyDeleteThe Farmers Wife book was sold out when My SIL was going to order it but now it's on it's way to me. It should be here hopefully in a week or two, I'm not sure I'll be able to make the block as pretty as yours but it will be fun working on them.
Your wall quilt is amazing! I love the colours! And your blocks are fabulous, I hadn't heard of the Farmers Wife book but the blocks sure are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteOh Donna I LOVE the Iris. What a beautiful wall hanging. And I'm really looking forward to seeing your final Farmer layout. You do such good work.
ReplyDeleteOh my, Donna! Your iris wallhanging is stunning! I also love your blocks. You have so many of them done already...very impressive!
ReplyDeleteLove your Iris wallhanging .... a sign that spring can't be that far away.
ReplyDeleteLove, love the wallhanging. Irises are one of my favorite flowers. I am very impressed with the Farmer's wife blocks. I look forward to the progression of both projects. Hope the weather warms up for you soon!
