I must work very, very hard - remember my Fairy Quilt? - I am trying for a finish in 3 days - oh, yes! - I think I will make it! Only borders on 2 ends to add, some quilting and then the binding! I know I could skip the binding and have shaggy edging - oh, very tempting!
I have a lovely, tidy studio - whew!, lots of tidying this week, so I'm on track with resolutions, isn't that just great?
Gorgeous current Thirties I bought on eBay - 6" squares for US$20 - one day I will count them - let's say I am just thrilled to have received so many!
Orchids and pomelos! These orchids must be of the same species as the Cooktown orchid - the floral emblem of my 'home' state - blessings to you all over there in Queensland recovering (I hope!) from flood damage. Back on track - these gorgeous flowers adorn my son's front patio in Thailand - and I popped a couple of pomelos into the pic!
Just gorgeous fruit to eat ! Kinda like a sweet grapefruit - very large, very thick, white pith
and normally prepared before you buy. I really don't like grapefruit but love these!

A fruit lover's paradise - probably all tropical when I think about it - yes, Lurline, of course it is tropical, Silly Girl!

That looks like a valentine with time to spare. Quite cheery. I had to chuckle at the "current" thirtys. I saw "vintage" fabric, aka. feed sacks, being sold at the Tokyo Quilt show this week. If people ask my age I can say either vintage or current!
Hope that cyclone finds somewhere else to dump.
nice quilt and 6" squares..............
the fruit looks gorgeous............
hope Bianca goes west.........
Lovely to hear you are progressing in your sewing room...Love your Quilt.
take care
welcome to Thailand. If you have chance don'tskip fabric market called sampeng/pahurat street. That is a blast!
Nice quilt! Nice tidy studio too! Hope that cyclone stays away. Argh!
Loved seeing all the beautiful fruit pictures. Very unusual to see grapefruit presented in this fashion. I think the shaggy edging would be very unique for your quilt. You should go for it. Judy C www.shadetreequilting.com
