Finally, the machine quilting is done on "Wish Upon a Feathered Star"! I still have the label and sleeve to make and sew on but I'm happy to be this far. This wall hanging, made of Kaffe Fassett Collective fabrics, measures 43x43" and was begun in a Prairie Quilt Guild workshop with Peggy Martin in July of 2019. It was quilted on my Janome domestic sewing machine.
I've decided to make some wall hangings which can hang over our fireplace and this is the second I've made this summer which will fit into the space.
After making a few more masks, making an applique block for my applique group's donation quilt, and tackling an "I Spy" quilt, my next major project will likely come from the UFO shelf. I found a list of all my UFO's from 5 years ago and many of them are still on the shelf. I have to do something about them before they take up permanent residence there!
This was our sunrise one day this past week! It almost looks like the sky is on fire.
The large unplanted area in the lower right of the photo will become a rain garden in September. I've spent untold hours digging up Bermuda grass and getting that area ready to plant with native plants and pollinator attracting flowers. We plan to plant bushes, which can stop road dust coming from the gravel road to the right of the photo, in the circles of dead grass. If I'm not quilting, I'm out working in the yard. All is good until the temperature and humidity get high. I'm not a hot weather kind of girl.
I just realized that this blog post is color coordinated - purple, red, pink, and orange! I must be drawn to these colors more than I thought I was.
Enjoy! Until next time, Mayleen
