Fried egg day


So, I let go of my need to fix this quilt. I quilted it yesterday and bound it, and after I washed it, I must say, it looks pretty darn cute. It really bunched up nicely. I tried a few new things in free motion machine quilting, different patterns, sizes, etc. And it gave it a lot of nice texture, which I am pleased with.

I did the Tiniest meandering stipple a round the letters, and they puffed up so nice. although I really had a stiff neck and back after concentrating so hard on doing that!

Some leaves, vines, small and large flowers, random patterns all over, and a favorite is using the stripes for the binding. I added some other bits, as, funny enough, I don't like them to be "TO PERFECT" ha! right? After my deliberation on it not being perfect from some unplanned errors, that seems very contradictory, but even if I had it perfect, I'd do something wonky to it ON PURPOSE... I know. Someone please help me... ;-p

A date with Home Depot.
I'm off to buy a tiller for my garden.
sigh. I love home depot.

ahhhh, the things that makes a farm girl happy...

Happy Weekend!
