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!

In the Meantime...

Today is the first of 4 days off....woohoo!!!  I have many things I'd like to do, but 2 major projects that need to be finished.  Being the procrastinator that I am, I decided to take today just for me.  The plan, then, is to concentrate for the next 3 days and finish everything up.

I finished hand sewing the binding on the turtle quilt last night.  This morning, I finished quilting the baby blush quilt and sewed the binding on...need to do the hand stitching.  No photos to show, cuz Joyce doesn't want to see them until they arrive on her doorstep.

I did some reading.  I played with Tag.  I made a doll quilt.

I have a huge post that I want/feel the need to write, but my head isn't quite ready for that, yet.  In the meantime, feast your eyes upon this lovely, delicate little quilt.   Those are 1" squares...I have a new-found respect for those who work with really small pieces!

More later.
