Flower Garden Quilt Is Finished

Well today is Mother's Day and my Mom's Flower Garden Quilt is finished. I was not able to get it to her today but she will received it in the next day or two. It turned out really cute. It looks so much like spring and how her garden will look in a month or two. I sent warm thoughts her way as I was making every part of the quilt and I hope she will enjoy the quilt as much as I enjoyed making it.

Pansy Basket and Flower Garden

I spent some of my day today working on the pansy basket candle mat and continuing to work on the Flower Garden Quilt. I also "shopped" out of my fabric boxes and I think I have enough different reds to make my pinwheel quilt. I may try to cut out my blocks for it later today. My eyes get tired of one color or project and I have to move on to another. I need to work on the tension on my machine it seems to be a bit off today. I hope this does not delay my progress

Well back to sewing!

Flower Garden Quilt Again

I have spent an hour again today working on my Flower Garden Quilt. I now have the applique flowers cut out and ready to be attached to the WOW squares. I will use the fusible paper and then with a decorative stitch sew the flowers down. I am now trying to decide what I want to do for the flower centers. Perhaps seed or bugle beads. I also need to start deciding on the outside border. I am thinking of using green fabric and appliqueing smaller flowers and make vines with appliqued yarn. I will need to think about this process for a few days. May try it out on a scrap of fabric and see what I think.

Today is a beautiful day and I need to go work in my real flower garden!
