What Light!

Here's the next UFO, I plan on finishing... It's a old top, that's been collecting dust for ages, that I figured it was time to dust off...


After a full week of rain, the clouds finally parted to give way to a little Mr. Golden Sun...
So Saturday morning after getting up early, I grabbed a stack of quilts, B, and my camera and we went for drive to find other great places to take some decent photos of them...

A little spot on the bay, was great for almost all the quilts... And the one above was in my front yard, near a sculpture... I love all those reds!

The light was so amazing on the bay. And a little walk in the woods provided a few stumps to prop up some quilts on. We managed to get a few pics, ticks, and a slug, on this blanket! Into the wash!

The bay again, my front yard fence showing the back, and this HUGE rock just down the road from me worked well!

Just follow the natural light, and it helps to not have any rain clouds looming overhead!

I do need to go around and get some better photos of a bunch of my other quilts,
even ones I've given away,
so, don't be surprised if I show up asking to take your quilt for a walk with me!
(MOM, Niece, Corina, Sherry, Marianna, etc. etc....) ;-)

Enjoy your Sunday!

thursday's UFO

Remember this quilt? I asked you all for help deciding what to do with it? well. the RIGHT side one... Old post here.

BLUE GARDEN QUILT:

I'm just finished the last side of binding on this UFO. I am so happy with the way it turned out! It is becoming a favorite... I'm loving the variegated thread. It made the dark brown so much more interesting.

THANKS everyone for all the comments yesterday about the sewing machine, & Ugly quilt. You guys are so helpful! SO many great ideas, and some FUN honest answers.
I got my machine fixed somewhere different than last time, and I think they actually got it right this time! It machine sews, like a dream...
Timing timing, timing... Timing is everything! I'm trying to finish up a bunch of quilt tops I have
had half done for a while now. Don't we all!
So now that my machine is working properly, maybe I can get to this one below...


LEFT --------------------RIGHT

I need some help... I've had this one sitting here for a bit and I want to finish it, but I can not decide which way to put the stripe...
I like them both... If I had more fabric I'd make one of each.. but no such luck...

Any thoughts?
