First the Whirlygig Quilt I started in workshop with Becky Goldsmith in July. I was very scared to quilt it myself on my Bernina frame because the centers and all the borders are hand needleturn applique. Lots of hours of enjoyment as I became more comfortable with the applique. With many new projects to start (this is a quilt show year for my Guild) I needed to get over my fear and get this project finished. I worked for 4 days quilting and decided to do a pieced colorful border accent. I am so happy with it and have named it "Bee Happy". It will someday grace the wall of a nursery for a grandchild when KK and Kraig start a family. Until then I will keep it for the Quilt Show on Sept 14 and 15.
So vibrant and colorful. Just beautiful....quilting looks great. Glad you are back.

ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog and leaving a comment. Your Whirlygig is truly a happy quilt so you picked a great name. It would have made me happy just to finish a quilt like this. I am hoping to finish the one block we worked on in class!
