Tah-Dah!
I finished the hand
quilting yesterday!
Just in time for Spring to arrive..
These were the last few I finished...
And here is the back
A lovely panel
with my
geese
flying through the
trees
I just love this look...
Next....
I have set up the
front (geese side) top
Moon and Birds border
to be layered and
quilted
I have just enough of that
feathers fabric to back
the top border
When done it will look like this
After the three sections were
sewn...
So that is when the central
section quilting began...
and I chose to do Quilt as You Go.
************************
And so...
The Vernal Equinox has arrived!
Certainly not outside as yet--still
very cold and very windy...
Spring by the Sea here...
but
inside
↡↡↡↡
My paperwhites have
begun to emerge...
so dainty and delicate..
harbingers of Spring...
**********************
So, tomorrow, my daughter can
now come and visit us
as we have had our
2nd shots and gone through the
two week waiting period...
We haven't seen her for over a year
now--so we are excited....
I hope you are all well,
full of antibodies
(or getting there)
Hugs, Julierose,

[Keep me on]







The geese are flying at your house, Julierose! Your quilt looks wonderful, and you sure picked the perfect backing for it, too. Hooray for the opportunity to see your daughter, and Happy Spring!
ReplyDeleteUh-mazing! Nicely done. Beautiful panel too.
ReplyDeleteSew exciting to get a visit from your daughter! I love how the flying geese came out and the panel on the back is gorgeous. I really need to make some geese into a quilt one of these days.
ReplyDeleteThat is going to be so pretty when you get all of the parts attached. Paperwhites celebrating spring by blooming today!
ReplyDeleteOh how I love your hand quilting!! So pretty!
ReplyDeleteYour geese are so great. The type of quilting you chose really enhances the quilt I love the zigzag quilting shown on the back side. Our first day of spring is pretty drizzly but no complaints here, we need the moisture, So happy you can see your daughter. My daughter has been so cautious during this past year to keep her family safe from the virus. One of her kids tested positive Monday and now two more of them are sick. It's not over~
ReplyDeleteThose colors for the geese are great and I Love the moon above!!! Have fun with your daughter! take care!
ReplyDeleteHappy First Day of Spring! Congrats on a beautiful finish! I thought it was cold today too but I loved seeing the sun!
ReplyDeleteHappy first day of Spring - your geese look wonderful (front AND back).

Congratulations on finishing the geese - they are looking splendid and will be even better once the other panels are added on. Enjoy your time with your daughter. I haven't seen any of my big kids for more than a year now.
