Here is where I sit to work on quilting my "Pomegranates" wall hanging.....
Presently, I am working on the alternate blocks--hand quilting them...
(Don't look too closely at my quilting stitches--I haven't done this type of quilting in a long time--egads!!!! My eye/hand coordination needs practice....;0000)
I am working one- to- two stitches on my needle at a time, trying to make them even...
using my favorite Guttermann hand quilting thread (which I love) --
in a lovely, soft, pale beige color....so relaxing...
I had big stitched the Pom blocks a while ago....the alternate blocks are a lovely soft batik print...
this was my first foray setting blocks on point...And I love how it looks...with that pointed stem
disappearing into the bottom of the block...I want to make this pattern again..in a different style
and colors....
{I used Alex Anderson's die from accuquilt to cut the pomegranates...}
And here is where I sit on our deck looking up at the clouds drifting by and enjoying the soft breezes....
(N.B. we put up this little barrier to block out the BIG BLUE BUS parked right in our line of sight next door along with their FIVE old cars!!!)
**S I G H **
When seated we cannot see that mess....
This is such a lovely way to spend the early afternoon after spending our morning --;))))
taking a mile walk, then going to the bank, grocery and hardware stores.
(Thom's stop--could you guess??lol)
AND, gals... I know that....
I should be inside vacuuming, dusting, and generally cleaning up--BUT....these days are so few and far between that I am scuttling those chores for a few hours anyway,
and enjoying the out-of-doors....
