I've had two very relaxing evenings curled up hand-quilting - so therapeutic! You have seen this quilt before an oldie and a WIP. I should really get in and get it fiished , but oh, the months of those tiny stitches - will I?.jpg)

I really am torn between two forces again - I have my CWBQ to applique and my two BOM's and lots of other new things I want to try/start!.jpg)
I popped over to see DD and the Littlies yesterday, so took a pic of another colourwash I made and taught many, many years ago. This is what I call a utility quilt and it has been dearly worn and loved - a cuddle up quilt for cold evenings and we've had plenty of those this winter!.jpg)

Here's our big girl, Saskia! Well you know she's not really mine! My goodness, she has grown and she whines and rolls over for tummy rubs all the times - one very adored cat!♥
Still cloudy, no rain, I hope - I'm off to talk to my roses! Happy day!

Hi Lurline I just love the border on your applique quilt. It is stunning. Have to tell you the garlic with the soapy wash sure sorted out the aphids on the roses. We have had lots and lots of lovely rain, unusual for Adelaide but I am loving every minute of it and would certainly not wish it away. Glad your colourwash is so well loved. Nothing like a nice soft quilt :-)
Cheers

You do lovely work Lurline. Your applique quilt is a stunner!
I know what you mean. It's often hard to know which quilt to pick up first. Your applique work is so beautiful.
What a beutiful quilt! I hope that you find time to finish this stunning quilt:o)
your applique is beautiful...now I know I am a novice!
Wonderful post...there are always sew many things to do and sew many things to choose from...that's always my dilemma...start a new project...or finish one in progress!
Your applique WIP is beautiful!!! Really - you have to finish it!
Such a pretty kittie!!! Your applique WIP is amazing! It is so beautiful! I love having several projects. Been working on civil war blocks today, all hand quilting!!! I'm surprised I can even do it but I can!! Yippee!!! Thanks for sharing! Hugs, Barbie
I bet it just fills your heart when one of your quilts is loved and used so much. It is such a beautiful quilt. Also my favorite thing is to sit and hand quilt in front of the TV. I will be doing that right after my shower!!
I lost you for a while and I'm so glad I found you ( I know you didn't know you were lost, but you were) I just love your colorwash log cabin. I'd love to make one someday. My list is so long, I'll have to live to 150 to get them all done.
Your applique quilt is gorgeous! You have such an eye for color. It just sparkles. I too need to have multiple projects going at once... something my non-crafting friends and family don't understand!
Wow -- so much time in the hand quilting of that lovely, lovely appliqué quilt, but it will be worth it. Just gorgeous!
Oh I love color wash effects in quilts. This is lovely.
It's definitely a side effect of working with needle and thread - too much to do!!
I'm excited when I finish a project, but I tend to begin two or three in between!
What stunning quilts you have made Lurline! Your applique is fabulous, and the colourwash would be wonderful to snuggle up under. Our weather over here is mad at the moment!!! I love Saskia, what a pretty cat she is xo
Your quilts are looking great Lurline! 8-)
