This weekend I have decided it is a "Me" weekend....this is my first full weekend off in 6 weeks....still very busy at work, if it wasn't for my dearest friend Dale I think I would have fallen into a heap...thanks for keeping me going Day-day....time to do a finish for Finns Challenge...and this will also mean a completed Xmas present...I am using iron on wadding......quilting with my usual large meander....the fourth photo is of the backing I have used...it was a bit hard matching a thread I was looking in my "pink department", but nothing worked...so I thought OK what else is in this fabric, so I went for a darker thread and I ended up using a brown and it blended perfectly, it always pays to experiment.......all I have to do now is sew down the bind and it is finished......Tomorrow is "Club Quilt" day so it is time to go and cook a slice to take tomorrow and get myself organized.....hope you have all had a fab day and maybe a "me" day as well....... 
So happy that you had a "me" day! We all deserve those once in a while!
ReplyDeleteIt looks great. I'm hoping for a me day tomorrow. I have had a sick daughter for the last week and now I need time out. Have a great day at "Club Quilt"
ReplyDeleteOh I love this quilt! Out of curiosity, what kind of machine do you use? I envy your ability to quilt on a sewing machine. I am fine with a longarm, but on my sewing machine at home I can barely sew straight lines most days!
ReplyDeleteoh Peg I just love what you can do with your machine
ReplyDeleteI have just spent the best part of the last 2 hours trying to do some quilting on my machine
boo hoo I just cant seem to get the tension worked out but I will not give in !!
do you have any tips for us
hugs Beth
Lovely quilt, lovely quilting and so happy you are enjoying your 'Me' day!
ReplyDeleteHugs - Lurline!
Hope you are having a nice "me" weekend. quilting and quilt look fab, if only I lived closer I could help share your slice for tomorrow (lol)
ReplyDeleteLovely quilt and quilting. Someone's going to get a lovely Christmas present.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt Peg!
ReplyDeleteWe all need to have some me time on a regular basis!
Love this one...what pattern have you used for this one...you know Im on the hunt for a quick and easy pattern for my new fabrics... :o)
ReplyDeleteHey Peg! Hope you're enjoying your 'me' weekend - after working extra hard while your workplace is short-staffed, you deserve the treat of doing your own thing for the weekend! After a week of low energy and feeling a bit 'blah' I've been happily stitching away today, so making some progress! Have fun stitching tomorrow! Bear Hugs! KRIS

ReplyDeleteHi Peg - you do some wonderful machine quilting! How do you do those curves? I'm always in a fight with my machine when I try that on a bigger quilt, so I alsways make straight lines. Maybe you have some advise. Love the quilt! ou make so many beuatiful things ^^)

ReplyDeleteLovely quilt and quilting. Aren't those gloves great to quilt with.

What ovely, plump quilting. Are the gloves to protect your fingers from needle bites?
ReplyDeleteI hope you're enjoying your 'me' day. The quilting looks great, and I like the quilt. The piano border really sets it off.
