Christmas ...
We are all hoping that next year we can gather

The smiles on those faces are beyond priceless. And I think your choice of the black thread for quilting the geese is perfect.
ReplyDeleteWe did a Facebook video chat with our family out west and got to watch them open their gifts - such a joy. Attempted to do the same with our family that lives 2 hours away but the connection was terrible so it didn't last. At least we got to see our family even though it wasn't in the manner we would have preferred.
Black thread was the perfect choice for the hand quilting!! I love it!
ReplyDeleteI did a zoom too with my son's family. Since we are spread out all over the country we wouldn't have been together anyway.
The geese are going to look wonderful with your hand quilting, Julierose! Our Christmas was on Zoom this year, too - at least there was that!
ReplyDeleteI think the black really pops those blocks! Good choice! We also Zoomed and phoned family, and had dinner with our "bubble" couple friends. Very nice day considering. Happy New Year to all!
ReplyDeleteLovely family photos. Zooming is not quite the same as meeting in person, but still a good second choice in these strange times. Most of us would never had heard about Zoom last year, how times have changed.
ReplyDeleteLoving the quilting with the black cotton! Two happy looking girls with quilts, shame you could’t be with them in person, same for your other grandchildren but such is the way of our world at the moment. Keep safe and keep on quilting!
ReplyDeleteOh, your stitching is so nice and even. I love the way it looks. Did you get that bad storm before Christmas? You probably got the most recent one too. Love this quilt.
ReplyDeleteThat black thread is perfect for those geese
ReplyDeleteLove the grandkids especially fiona and willa. Growing up fast
We did a Zoom call with my sister and those at her house in MI. Then we had a FaceTime with elder son/grandson who are in SC with DIL's family. It was different and fun. SO glad the girls like those AG doll quilts. I think they're wonderful.
ReplyDeleteLove the quilting on the geese. Glad you got a Zoom in with the family. Yes, quite a few more months of being careful is in order, especially after the fallout from the Christmas/New Years 'gatherings' that are taking place. Stay safe.
ReplyDeleteI love your hand quilting. The black thread looks great on the flying geese! So nice to see your grandchildren! I'm sure you miss them during the holiday season.
ReplyDeleteYour flying geese quilt looks amazing! I love the colours you’ve used, just gorgeous! The black thread looks great on the hand quilting..
ReplyDeleteFound you whilst blog hopping, would be lovely to see you over at mine at emeraldcottage.blogspot.com

What a great post! Lovely grandchildren (and funny grand dog, hehe). I love the black, too (and that Finca cotton is yummy stuff) for the hand stitching on your flying geese!
ReplyDeleteThe geese look good! The girls obviously love their butterfly quilts. Nice that you could catch up with everyone, even remotely.
ReplyDeleteWow! You are making really speedy progress on this quilt, Julierose. It seems like just the other day you had a few geese on your wall.
ReplyDeleteI have trouble choosing black (for any part of a quilt) but when I see that someone else has used it, I think it looks great, including on your geese.
Your grands all look so happy.
The geese and the quilting look great - looks like you have a good project to occupy your New Year's Eve!
ReplyDeleteYour geese are looking "sew" good. Enjoy your day! Looks like awesome thread. 🦋
