Home again , home again jiggety jig!
Welcome y'all. Mr. Pinker and I are truckin' on down the road making our way back home from our camping trip.
As soon as I get back home and unpack , I am going to snatch up my Summer Days quilt and go to town quilting the borders.

| Summer Days quilt top. All of these designs were shared in 2022 as freebies. |
I will be using the Baptist Fan quilting design along the borders, and hopefully, in a few short hours the quilting will be completed.
The quilting on the top border is complete.
Not only is it Slow Stitching Sunday, but it is Santa Sunday as well. I will be working on a Santa stitch this evening, but in the meantime, I have a new stitch to share with you.
Santa Is On His Way! It is just a little prim quick stitch.
There are 9 colors in this piece which include : 221, 223, 730, 782, 869, 407, 898, Blanc, and 3371.

ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much, Robin. I have been plugging away on the Summer Days quilt. I hope to finish it soon. The boys did not catch a fish. Lol. But they enjoyed being out on the lake and being among all of the other fishermen. They were over 200 boats in the event. It was a sight to behold. Hope you are having a great week. Hugs.
DeleteLove the idea of the Baptist Fans you're quilting in the borders. What a beautiful quilt!

DeleteOh goodness I love those crows! Not sure why I have a thing for them--must be they're always in Folk Art which I love? A lovely finish!!
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much, Cheree. I have an affection for crows as well. We have a lot of them in our neck of the woods so anytime I see one in a cross stitch or even on a quilt I want to work on that project. Thank you for the sweet visit. Hugs.
DeleteWhat a cute quilt! Thanks for sharing the cross stitch project--unfortunately I have too many "have-to-do's" on my plate right now, although it is tempting!
