This is the last one on the list - I have changed the list a bit as things were done, but this month is Finn's floor quilt.
I got this panel from Tracee at Hummingbird quilting in Gisborne, Finn loves the birds and animals
starting to sandwich on the back deck when we had a fine day this week
this panel is about 3 metres long, so it takes a bit of wrangling under the machine.
I have started on the quilting
I have outlined some animals and birds and outlined feathers for a bit of texture
the images are beautiful.
Today I planned to get lots done but the quilt has not gone near the machine, I dropped of quilts for the local group exhibition at the end of the month, came home and then went to help Beth with Finn for a while, came home to find 2 metres of mulch delivered so after a quick lunch went out to spread. A friend of Davids came to help, David filled the wheel barrow, his friend delivered it to the garden and I spread. I have several muscles that are complaining this evening!! Later this afternoon, once I had cleaned up and cooled down, I had a very becoming bright red face, I went back over to play with Finn for a few hours - a storm came over with lightning and thunder, but we also had a double beautiful rainbow - Finn kept me busy walking to different windows to see the bow!!
Tonight I am too tired to do any sewing, might go and soak in the bath!
Tomorrow hopefully will be a sewing day!
Happy stitching.
What a lovely project for Finn! The bird and animal panel sounds perfect, and your quilting with outlined details will make it even more special. It like a very full day between helping out, spreading mulch, and spending time with Finn—hopefully tomorrow brings more sewing time!

What a great panel for a child’s floor quilt! He will enjoy it. A soak in the bubble bath will make you feel better.
ReplyDeleteThat panel is gorgeous...happy quilting! Prefer sewing to all that gardening stuff...LOL
ReplyDeleteThat panel is amazing! Finn will love it. I feel like it should be hanging on a wall in a classroom!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous panel. Hope the muscles are feeling better today.
ReplyDeleteThe panel you are quilting is so beautiful Sue & I think Finn will just so enjoy looking at all the animals on it - I can just see his little face now when he sees it for the first time - how special. Yes I know about all those mulch-moving sore muscles - a soak in the bath sounds perfect Sue. Wishing you a wonderful weekend. xx
ReplyDeleteMy, what a busy day. No wonder you had no time to sew. The panel is stunning. He will absolutely love it.
