Been awhile, but I am quilting. I'm working on something for a dear friend, and although she knows I am, I don't want her to see it yet. So no progress reports. The other UFOs are all on hold.
Instead, I decided to bring a little spring into an otherwise wintery day. It is -20 C here (about -3 or 4 F). This is a "new" amaryllis that I bought last spring. The bulb is small, but look what it is doing! Eight flowers so far, with two buds on top that are hiding from view in this photo. I love the color too.
Reading blogs, seldom commenting, working late hours, trying to get some things finished, life is filled to overflow mark. Blessings to all!
This is the quilt that is keeping me from starting my next project. It is about 37" wide and 44" high. I'm using my DM and putting lots of quilting on it which my body can only take for short spurts. Progress is slow. Also, my camera is still doing the blurry on some settings, so this picture is sharp, but the color is pretty good. Can you see the basting pins?
This close-up shows a bit of detail in one part that is finished.
The last picture is one flower my late-blooming amaryllis. Wanda's post reminded me to take a picture. There are two stalks, and the second one has yet to come fully into bloom, but this one has four massive flowers, each more than 7" across. It is totally amazing, considering I did everything wrong caring for it so it would even grow.
Back to the sewing machine... well, I have to buy groceries first. Life getting in the way of quilting - again!
