Another Week of Hand Quilting

Here's the progress on Grandma's Embroidered blocks. I quilted across the row.











Did you see where I missed marking a circle? That is very easy to do. That circle is now quilted and I've rolled.

When I planted impatience in the flowerbed several weeks ago, I discovered a toad who had made his home in the soft soil under daffodil stems.

He's moved and is enjoying the blooms in this viola pot.

Beautiful quilting and lovely flowers. I have a couple of lizards sunning themselves on the porch every time I go outside. They run and hide, and then come back. I also came across a little frog the other day sitting on my bag of soil. Happy stitching!

Your real flowers are almost as pretty as your embroidered and quilted flowers! I love the toad, too. I hear they eat lots of bugs!

Rebecca Grace said...

Very pretty concentric circle quilting! I think my puppy caught a toad last night and ATE him... :-(

Loving the dimples that hand quilting creates. Wonderful texture! You are so lucky to have your own toad, keeps the nasty bugs out of eating up your plants!
