Fall Colors

Look at those trees! Wow. Went to town and had to stop to take a picture. These trees were beautiful.

Daisys and Logs

 The batting is a 6oz polyester which made the quilt puffy and very drapey. Lots of practice with ruler work in the ditch of the log cabins. I used a Daisy design for the borders and in the corners. Thread was a purple Glide, top and bottom. Turned out nice and fluffy. 
Since the top side is a print it's hard to see the designs. The back shows the quilting well.

House and Trees quilt

So this quilt was sent to me by Viki. It sat in a plastic bag for years and had yellow "lines" where it had been folded. So in the wash it went. Now it's drying on my new solar dryer! Next it was pressed and many threads clipped on the backside in preparation to be quilted.
