A few sprinkles, but otherwise a beautiful day here in North Georgia. Mr wazoo started the day with a trip to get a truck full of mulch. While he was away, one customer came to get her quilt and we had a nice chat about the joy of scrap quilting. She says she has a lot of scraps, but they are mostly too small to do much with. So what does a fabriholic do? Give her a huge bag of scraps! Everyone benefitted from that exchange. I have way too many scraps and love sharing with other quilters.
One I started working, there was no stopping. I was in the quilting zone. The giant Hawaiian quilt is coming along nicely, and by 4:30, I was ready to turn it so I could do the other two big borders. I am using some digital patterns as well as free motion which gives me some 'away-from-the-machine' time to finally get my April UFO assembled! Yippee!!

Mr W loaded this classy quilt named Medici. The fleur-de-lis are upside down so the pattern comes out right side up! |
|
Meanwhile, I chugged along on the sashing motifs |
|
This is how far Mr W got before quitting to go water his new grass seed. |
|
The customer has a book that goes with the blocks in her quilt. She wants the blocks quilted like the pictures in the book, so that's what I am doing. |
|
Hey!! Lookie, cookie! The top is done. |
|
I used my blue and white check again...I'm almost out. Boo-hoo. |
|
The quilt has been turned and re-loaded and about half of the sashings are quilted. Time to make supper!!
|
On the way up to the kitchen, I snapped a few more pictures in the front yard. Mr W is so talented...I think he will have grass going in the dirt under the dogwood before too long.
|
Finally fully blooming! A little tree, but very pretty! |
|
The fruits of two year's labor for the man. Looking wonderful. |
|
Sweet William is really sweet this year! |
|
The lone bloom on our baby pink dogwood. We planted it last year and think it will do better next year. |
|
One of the flame azaleas is full of flowers. The other, not so much. |
|
I love our mountain home. |
