Hand quilting
"The Cherry Thief"
out on my deck this morning.
It is a beautiful sunny day here....
from the Big Stitcheries I've
been doing lately..
My stitches are not that even
or small
but, they are what they are...}
👵
and here it is with one row of
quilting around all the
applique pieces...
Now I am in a quandry as
to what to do next..
?????
Should I do another row of
hand stitches
around the appliques?
Then...
I thought I would do a background
of straight stitche fill ins
but now
I don't know how
that would look.
?????
And
Now
I am thinking of tying from the
back so that only the little
stitches would show on the
front...
Stay Tuned....
***********************
I was supposed to go food shopping this
morning,
BUT
Who wants to do that on such
a lovely morning...
cool breezes...
coffee and homemade
banana bread on the
deck..
*********************************
Here are the hollies
Tom planted along our
new privacy fence...
(click to enlarge)
These are
"Nellie Stevens" Hollies
that are deer resistant.
The sad looking bush in the center is
a transplanted rose--which looks
Very Unhappy!!😞
I hope it will come back to life....
Time will tell...
⏳⌛
I hope you can get out and
enjoy part of this
lovely day....
hugs,
Julierose, La Blageuse

so glad to see that you are hand quilting outside. xo
ReplyDeleteThe thing about transplants is that we don't always see good results the same year but the next year is the real test. I have transplanted quite a few things this year and a few showed immediate good results so I'm happy. I hope your rose does a full recovery.
ReplyDeleteSounds lovely to do some stitching outside! I think your stitches look lovely!
ReplyDeleteI need some deer resistance one's
ReplyDeleteHow fun to be able to sit and quilt outside. I love holly, it doesn't seem to grow in this area though.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you are enjoying some lovely weather - it makes everything seem better! My quilting stitches aren't that neat and even either, but it is what it is!
ReplyDeleteHand quilting outside sounds nigh onto perfect. And are the quilt police going to come and check the size of your stitches? I think that's the beauty of hand quilting because you can actually tell it's quilted by hand.
ReplyDeleteSo nice to sit, stitch and enjoy the great weather!
