~~~~~HEAT!!!!!~~~~~~


 I've been hiding inside all day or in the pool... 
I didn't notice til later that the Fed ex man 
left a big parcel on my door step!
Anguilian Sunrise (click for old links) is quilted!
Wahoo!
 It's so Beautiful! Angela did a great job on it... That girl can rock some great quilting....
I'm so glad she did, I just haven't been able to tackle quilting all my big quilts...  
This quilt took me ages to work out...I'm still trying to get OLD tops done,
without starting to many new projects...

This quilt had started as two completely different projects and and over a 
year finally morphed into one.


Paula Prass Sumer Soiree fabrics were used in the Dresdens,
 so I came back and used her fabric for the backing as well.. 
sort of a warm and cool thing going on...


 The best place to HANG a quilt.... ;-)


Best place to HANG inside.... (and hide from the heat)

Me and the EGG are hanging at the pool. 

What will you be doing?

Stay cool my quilt-y friends!

(don't miss the giveaway in the last post!)

  6. The quilt is beautiful, love the design and fabrics.
    Our pool is in the sun and it was too hot to even go in, felt like I couldn't breath outside, seems we are getting city air today, lol. At least it will end soon, need to get out on the water and do some paddling in the waves, will be a nice reprieve.

  12. Just gorgeous!! I think that hanging it there adds beauty, but also a little bit of shade underneath! Nice to have options for the heat too!

  14. Okay that quilting is just perfect on your quilt!... what a super quilt!
    Did you plan the quilting or turn it over to your longarmer to do "her thing"?
    No A/c here but thank goodness for the pool!

    Stay cool and out of the sun.

    Happy Sewing

  18. Wow, magnificent quilt!! Just going out with Turbo (dog!) all wrapped up in winter waterproofs...what summer?!

  19. Oh what a fantastic quilt and terrific picture of it hanging from the balcony, top marks, Victoria. I like the little patchwork cushion - weren't hexagons fun to do. I'm rather enjoying our Scottish summer - cool with intervals of torrential rain. The vegetables are doing well! We've actually got a bit of sun this morning.
