Surprisingly difficult to photograph it without reflections, but I think you can get the idea.
I am still knitting socks and quilting my Doing the Rounds quilt. I have one corner left to go so it should be finished soon. A few ideas for the next quilt floating around, possibly red and white, or blue and white. I'm concerned I will find them boring to work on after a while, but I do love the end results. Red and White Quilts - Infinite Variety is probably my favorite book.
Work and family have been busy. My second son has turned 18 and is well into his final year at school, and we're wondering where life might lead us next. Hopefully I can get back to posting on my blog a bit more regularly. I do still cruise around your blogs, just not so much commenting these days. I'm Thimblestitch1 on Instagram if you have it, not so many words but more pictures.
Hope you're well and finding lots of spare moments to be creative.

It looks wonderful! Beautifully framed. I'd be showing it off if it was mine :0) I made a red and white quilt once and used many different red fabrics with a solid white background. I found using a variety of reds kept it interesting enough for me and if you keep the tone of the red/blue the same I think you still get that 2 color quilt effect.
ReplyDeleteThis. Is. Stunning! You must be over the moon. What a treasure.
ReplyDeleteIt is a true heirloom Susan! There are so many lovely motifs on this piece and I love the red on cream perfection. All the best with your quilting finish and looking forward to seeing what you come up with next. I'm sure you won't be bored if you work in colours you love.

ReplyDeleteSusan, this is absolutely gorgeous - many hours of work nI know - leave it out for all to see.
ReplyDeleteI hope Son #2 ends up in the same general (geographical) area as you - or at least the same as Son #1
