The finished product isn't much different. I birthed it and used a fleece sheet as the backing. It's nice and warm without being heavy. And it's tied. The blocks are so lovely that I didn't want to take away from them with a lot of quilting.
Now on to Christmas. During the recent Blogger's Quilt Festival I saw a gorgeous Christmas quilt and I am attempting to recreate parts of it. It's an applique quilt with each block having a different Christmas motif. I'm using some of the ones the lady who posted it did and I'm making some different ones of my own. So far I have these three completed:
I'm adding a bit of embellishment to each block. I have two more close to complete but I still need to work on the embellishments a bit.
So that's what's been going on around here quilting-wise.
In other news my kitchen is done!! It's been two years in the making but it's done. I only have a picture of the one row of drawers:
These are the drawers between the stove and refrigerator. The cabinets are the real showstoppers. Rodger cut the center out of the doors and added chicken wire (did I mention it's a country kitchen?). They look FABULOUS! Pictures next time.
At long last Thunder is making an appearance!
Until next time, hugs and stitches. Jody
