Mom's hand surgery went really well and didn't take nearly as long as we expected. We think that they tell everyone to arrive at the same time and then just call people in on a first come, first served basis. The procedure on her knuckle took all of 5 minutes but she had 30 minutes of prep time including making her totally undress! Bizarre. While I waited I worked on my EQ lesson book and learned a few new things. I'll share after I finish teh second lesson that I was working on. Back at home I have the Groovy quilt loaded. I forgot to take a photo of the spiral tie dyed back so you'll have to wait until it's done to see that. The recipient of this quilt is my friend's husband, Jamie. He loves tie dye and he really, really loves green. The backing is shades of green so I also picked green threads. This panto might be a tad feminine but I like the swirl effect with the spiral of the back so I'm going with it. The quilt is loaded and ready for quilting. Tomorrow and Saturday are sewing days with my quilt club but I might be able to get some quilting done in the evenings. During the day I'll be working on the Hunter's Star veterans quilt. There's a possibility that I can get the top together in 2 days of sewing.

I'm behind in commenting again and rather than getting 'behinder' I'm just going to jump in here. Glad your Mom's surgery went well - hopefully she'll soon be back to her normal activities. I love that multi-coloured green thread - yum.

Very pretty veteran's quilt! 11/9/2019 08:21:09 am
I don't see that panto as feminine at all. It makes me think of barbed wire.

I just love seeing your mosaic wall in the background of your pictures! I think that’s a great quilt design for the Groovy quilt too. The Hunter’s Star top is looking so artsy with your dyed fabrics! Bravo on all and so glad your Mom’s procedure went smoothly.

That design will look good for the Groovy quilt. I can't believe how much of the Hunter's Star you have done already! It is really pretty! Comments are closed.
