Blushing Turtles...

Remember the charmed blush quilt for Joyce's granddaughter, Ashley? 

And, the turtle quilt for Joyce's grandson, Riley?

I had posted about them when I was working on them here and here, but then Joyce asked me to wait & not show them again until she got them.

I finally finished everything that was going to Alaska.  Got the box packed and it arrived in Anchorage today!

Here they are...

I quilted the charmed blush quilt with a variegated thread in a square spiral working from the center outward.

The turtles quilt is quilted with diagonal lines...1/2" apart in one direction only.

Joyce is very happy with them...YAY!

A Little More Piecing...

This little turtle quilt is taking some time to put together.    I need to work in sections, and really need to think about what I'm doing.  (and, you know, I try really hard to not think...about much of anything.)  Sewing blocks or rows together is much faster.   

I'm laying it out on my light table, but the table is not large enough.  I'm thinking it would be real helpful if I had a design wall.  What a novel idea, hey?  I'm almost 1/2 done, though. Here's what I have thus far...

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 So.  My second synvisc injection went as planned.  The doctor was kinda cute...and really nice.  Just not as cute as Dr. CutiePie.  {sigh}  My injection site bothered me all day...wasn't really painful, but I was very aware of it.  This a.m., it's okay.  And, my knee is definitely better.  One more injection to go.  

Need to get my butt in gear...have much to do.  A realtor is showing the house tomorrow a.m., so 1/2 of my day (tomorrow) will be wasted with cleaning/straightening and being out of here when they come.  

Have a great weekend!
