| Texture - mmmm |

| Another shot of the thread and the loose, flowing leafy designs I quilted |
 |
| I showed these in the previous post, pre-washed stage but worth a second look now the quilt is washed |

| The back. FMQ feathers in the border |
 |
| I'm getting better at turning corners! |
 |
| A shot of the back where I pieced in a strip because I was short on the backing fabric, and this way I could once again piece the label in as an integral part of the backing! |

| Texture, and green grass!! |

| Folded up -- love the poinsettias that are outside everywhere! |
Bella is settling in nicely to our very own sewing room. She was visibly happy the other day when I was organizing some of the projects I have brought down with me to sew, sniffing and then rolling on them as if to say, "My stuff! My smells! I'm okay now!" She misses our basement sewing area, I'm sure, but she's fast adapting to this new space with familiar items from Kingsville as well as from the condo in Bradenton.
That's a subject for another post. Lara of Buzzin' Bumble (you need to check out her Spoonflower fabric, a piece of which I won last week! Woot! Woot!) asked me today how I manage my sewing "world" between two homes.

Sandra, it is lovely in all its crinkly glory! Love the quilting, the feathers look fabulous! Glad to hear you are all settling in and enjoying the warm temps :)
ReplyDeleteYour quilting is so fantastic Sandra - it really brings a whole new dimension to Savannah! I love the fabrics when you see them close up. Aww, poor Bella. Thank goodness you bought some familiar softness from home so she can feel comfortable. It's harder for cats to get used to new surroundings I think. LOL, It is very funny that you linked to me at the same time I linked to you. Well I will look forward to reading about how you transfer yourself and all your quilty goodness from place to place.
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful, Sandra! Wonderful quilting too. Lucky you to live in such a beautiful place! Thanks for linking up to TGIFF!
ReplyDeleteAs always, a beautiful finished quilt! Love the colours and warm textures. Bella <3
ReplyDeleteYay for a great finish! :D I had hoped to join in with a finish of my own this week, but I'll just keep enjoying everyone else's. I giggled at your double negative of being less not-in-love - I've felt that way before! I can picture my Isabeau being the same way if we changed locations - she would definitely be happier once my projects got pulled out, as she frequently snuggles in them while I'm working. Funny kitties!
