Flower garden is officially finished

 I finished the hand stitching of the binding last night while rewatching The Residence on Netflix. I do like mysteries and this is a fun series. I really hope they do another one. This one is hand pieced, hand appliqued, machine quilted and hand stitching on the binding. 82x93. It was fun revisiting all the pretty fabrics in this from the last 10 years. 







Sunday, I had a afternoon at Painting with a Twist with Girl Scout Volunteers. I'm not sure about this one. I did not like the 'henna' type stuff that is really light on mine around the edges. It was a fun couple of hours though. 



Now to pin the big quilt on the frame that is not getting hand quilted. Pinning and then a machine swiggle is going to call it good I think. Hoping to get that one finished in May. Not sure about June yet, but I'm shooting for one a month this quarter.

Oh, if you are interested in the MSQC Christmas box, it is on pre-order through the end of April. It is a fun gift to yourself in December and I have loved opening the box for 25 days. I hear there is more fabric this year? Time will tell.

  1. Flower Garden turned out beautifully, Deb! I'm not sure I looked that closely at the border before, but I love those colorful butterflies on the black. It's perfect for the hexie flowers of the center. We haven't watched The Residence - thanks for the recommendation!
