One More Week for Lady Jane!

My goal last week was to stitch across the border of Lady Jane and I did it! You can't see the stitching in the border, it's hard to see the white thread in the floral border.

I did take a close up photo though. I've place a pin at the top of where the quilting stops just as a point of reference. It can be hard to see where I'm stitching at times! I do remove the pin before I stitch the row.

I've rolled and the goal for this week is to finish the quilting. The top edge of the quilt has been unpinned from the header and is pinned through the batting and onto the backing.

I'll stitch in the ditch along the bottom edge of the blue outside border and also baste the top edge of that same border.

A question was asked last week in the comment about how far apart the curves were in the Baptist fan quilting. They're 1" apart and all the curves are supposed to be the same distance. There could be a few wobbles in my quilting so they're not perfectly 1".

Here is a link to the Lady Jane pattern. Nancy has many lovely patterns I'd like to make someday in blues & white: Gathered Together, Winter Thistle and many other designs. So many quilts, not enough time!

Last week I was in Wakarusa to get my haircut so I took pictures of the quilt garden. Those begonias have filled in and the garden is beautiful!

There are several benches around the garden with these big pots of flowers. I always think the benches look inviting but I never take time to enjoy them.

In the background you can see what downtown Wakarusa look like on a Wednesday morning @ 8:30 am.
