 I slept, ate and worked on the Goldfinch. That's it. Late Sunday I finished the last block. I'm really, really happy with the way it's looking but, let me tell you, this was a LOT of work! It's been a very long time since I spent this much concentrated time in the sewing room.  This block (3rd one on the bottom row) was the worst. It took almost an entire day! Look how tiny some of these pieces are? Next I'll get the blocks together and start to try to figure out how to quilt a quilt with too many very thick intersections.  The fun thing about being at the sewing room for 3 days was watching all the wildlife that visits the pond. I saw lots of deer, some wood ducks, a hawk eating a meal, a blonde groundhog and lots of squirrels.
This week I'll get the Goldfinch together and I need to make some birthday postcards. I also want to get back to quilting Mom's quilt and I have some dyed maternity tops to share. The tops are done, I was jsut too tired to edit more photos last night.

Wow, it's looking fantastic, but..... Wow. You need to include a dime in your photos of this project. And aren't your dyed fabrics strutting their stuff here.

I simply canNOT imagine the work that went into that goldfinch. It's beyond stunning and I think your hand dyed fabrics just take it over the top and beyond what anyone else might have done with the pattern. Love it!!! Comments are closed.
