 Yesterday was dyeing day and I never accomplish much after a day of dyeing. I usually finish up just before dinner so there's only a little crochet time on those evenings. Yesterday was no different. What I should have done was get my laptop and catch up on a week's worth of blog reading. I'll try to do that today. I'm way behind.  My big goal for today is more quilting on Summer Sunset. I'm almost at the halfway point and I would have finished it for sure but then remembered that we have an appointment this afternoon. But I'll get a few rows done and it will be done this weekend for sure.  After sleeping under the postage stamp quilt (heavy quilting) and the vulture quilt (light quilting) I have finally accepted that bed quilts must be quilted lightly. It's fun to so all sorts of special and dense quilting but it doesn't make for a cuddly quilt. This quilt is intended for my bed so I'm using a panto that's very open and hopefully it will be a very comfy quilt.
Tomorrow Mom and I are heading to the Mid-Atlantic Quilt Festival. I'm so happy to be going back again. I may or may not post tomorrow. If not, I hope you have a great weekend. 2/24/2022 02:55:45 pm
With all of the seams in the quilt top I'm sure it is heavy enough without close quilting. It is going to be a beauty on your bed. 2/24/2022 05:53:38 pm
I often wonder what the really heavily quilted quilts are used for - some of them look like they could stand up by themselves - I guess they are used on the wall - have fun at the quilt show - if all goes well I will go to the AQS show this March in Branson MO only 2 hours north of me

Your references to Mom-time remind me of the days my Mom and I did so many wonderful things together. Cherish your times now. My Mom has been gone for 14 years and her last few her health prevented outings. But her last 6 weeks she was with me and God blessed us with great joy.

I can't imagine the joy of going to a quilt festival. Our guild has put their show aside for another year (2023 now) but maybe they'll start their meetings again next month. First in over two years. Comments are closed.
