We have been walking in the woods everyday; which hubby loves, and I get used to.lol.....really it takes a little convincing before the first walk of the winter; but I love it once I decide to go. Today was mild and easy walking; very enjoyable really.
My progress this week: The commissioned quilt is finished
I have the next one in the frames my project for the blog hop next month is ready
practice is moving along with the FMQ Challengethe rest of my list is the same....waiting...lol
Finished Quilt
I am linking up to Lee and Monika take a look and see what is going on all over the world. Have a great day.
Second Attempts .....sorry for the poor arrangement of pictures. They just didn't cooperate....lol.
I just love your quilt. I find a quilt with yellow always appeals to me. I've never done one with it though. duh. I also love the combination of piecing and appliqué a lot.
ReplyDeleteGreat results on the FMQ!!
I agree about the yellow. My favorite quilts have yellow in them (and hand quilting : )
ReplyDeleteYou know it's a Canadian blog when you have to talk about the weather! : ) Thanks for linking!

you do such amazing work! and look at you trying the fmq! it looks good - lots of progress here!
ReplyDeleteI think your quilt is very pretty. The negative flowers are a look I really like.
ReplyDeleteYour FMQ is great! Nice to have a finish under your belt. It is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteWonderful job on the quilt and your FMQ is really coming along well. I need to get back at the practicing.
ReplyDeleteFabulous quilt! Glad to hear you're feeling better, it's no fun to be down with a cold. Your FMQ is looking good, way to go!
ReplyDeleteThat quilt is lovely! the colours just really work their magic! and the fmq blocks are looking great too :)
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog through The Needle and Thread. What a lovely quilt!
ReplyDeleteWow, you are a fast hand quilter. That is such a sweet quilt.
ReplyDeleteYour free motion looks pretty good too.
It is so beautiful here right now with our fresh snow, although it is going to be very cold to-night and tomorrow. I love to walk in the woods and I'm often the one dragging my husband out.
Love your quilts. I'm supposed to be doing the FMQ challenge as well, but haven't even started. I think yours' looks great.
ReplyDeleteThat's a really pretty quilt-- and it's hand-quilted too. I think that the hand quilting really suits the fabrics and mood of the quilt. I love those art to heart fabrics,...
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful quilt, love the way the flowers are done! Your heart leaves look great!
ReplyDeleteMy friend KT is doing the challenge as well and your leaves look great! I love the flowers on the finished quilt!
ReplyDeletelove your quilt and I like your fmq too :)
ReplyDeleteYour heart quilting is definitely better than my first attempts. I'm still trying but I'm not sure I'm getting better. :( blessings, marlene
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt and fabulous FMQ!
ReplyDeleteGreat finish, Marjorie. Your free motion blocks look great too. Hope you are feeling better now.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is just gorgeous. I love the colors too.
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried my FMQ yet. Your leaves look great.
There is nothing like a good cold to make you appreciate feeling good again.
Thanks for the great pics of the nine patch quilt...I really love the applique.
ReplyDeleteYour FMQ looks really good
The quilt is lovely and your fmq is great! I think walks in the woods also sound good but I expect you are nicely bundled up.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt! I wish that I could learn FMQ but so far my attempts have been pretty poor. Even after taking a class. I can't get the tension right on my machine for one thing. I just get frustrated when I try to do it.
ReplyDeleteYour finished quilt is great, Marjorie! Beautiful! Great job on the FMQ too. I like the spiral in the leaf - very cool!
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is beautiful. I love the applique. Your FMQ leaves look great. I like the way you incorporated the swirls.
