This weekend I had a little sandwich party:
And then a quilting feast (or beast?) This quilt is now heavily quilted with leaf shapes on a thin polyester batting. The thin batting made it quite challeging to find the right thread tension!
I am now handstitching the binding, a Michal James fabric from my stash that was a perfect colormatch... This will be my birthday present, a bit late. Love it, a nice summer quilt. I don't have any name for it yet. Any suggestions? And yes, it is 6 of 5, using the backing from here.
And I want to share a picture from my garden. The tulips are pretty even if it is their very final stage. These are nice and quite tall flowers. I only have a few, and they where even fewer after "Venus the menace" started jumping for them.Happy stitching, everyone.

Gypsy Rose Lee-
"rose" pinks and rosy colors
and after all she was a "stripper"
love the colors, they are some of my favs.
Hey! You're fast! Producing loveliness on a row:) I love the colors. How about 'Orange Popsicles'?
Even though I notice few oranges in there, the overall impression in my eyes is that color. Beautiful!
Yes, tulips have a certain grace long after they are fresh, don't they! I am not certain, but I think it was Matisse that loved almost shriveling tulips, and portrayed them! Have a wonderful week. Una
I really love your quilt! The colors are so vibrant, and the quilting looks fabulous!
