Another swath across Welsh Beauty has been quilted. And it looks like Blogger has actually placed them in order, from right to left!
As you can see in the center pictures, the next swath across will finish the top of the center medallion. Then it will be just cross hatching most of the way except for the right and left side borders.
As usual, a link to the first post about Welsh Beauty.
Kathy from Sewing Etc, is hand quilting this same quilt! She hopes to have her quilt finished by November. Happy stitching Kathy!
I was recently in Wakarusa and took photos of the quilt garden.
This garden is one of many in the Quilt Gardens, Along the Heritage Trail.
The RV industry was extremely hard hit and had to lay off most of their employees. Some of these factories employed over 10,000 people!
The Heritage Trail was developed to draw tourists to our counties to bolster the economy. I don't know how well that idea worked but I do know people (quilters) who come to our area and drive the trail.
There benches located in the park for people to use.
Another small town close to Wakarusa is Nappanee. Connie lives there and wrote a post about the Nappanee Quilt Garden.
I'll take pictures again later this summer when the flowers are larger.
