Beautiful quilt Theresa. I like EPP also, especially as a travel project. I have started several...just haven't finished anything. Hand quilting is quite an undertaking! I have never tried it, although my father gave me a frame that he bought on on a lawn sale. Maybe one day I will give it a try.
My husband and I got all the grout done on the floor of the sewing studio! That was the last of the major stuff still needing to be done! THANG GOODNESS! It is quite a large room and being on your knees on the floor for hours is quite hard, especially as we get older. Now there are some minor items to do, like base trim and a couple of electrical items to finish up, and we need to seal the grout. Then the monumental task of moving everything in. So happy to have most of the construction work done. I haven't sewn anything in weeks!

Theresa, your quilt is awesome!

I love gfg quilts! I hand quilted as well, though not as often as l once did. l use a q snap floor frame on large projects and hoop for lap size. My restoration project is at a standstill while we are doing our flooring. I do sneak down to sewing room, but keep getting called back upstairs to help, sigh.

Theresa, your quilt is a masterpiece. It is so beautiful! I love how you have fussy cut the flowers in your Grandmother's Flower Garden. Do you hand quilt in a large frame?

It's good to see you here, Theresa. It has been a while. Yes, please share what you've been working on.

Hello Theresa, I hope that you will be joining us. This is the best group of quilting friends ever.
Since I will not be machine quilting Kaitlyn's quilt until Monday when I pick up the thread from the quilt shop, I am working on a smaller version of The Crayon Quilt.

Theresa - you've been really busy! Can we see some pictures, please?

I have completed 4 hand quilted quilts this year

Ginny l think we quilters all are creative. We see a pattern and give it our own twist. Here's how l've sketched my version. I've cut my fabrics , but ran out of time...hubby needed help cleaning the dust particals off the new floor after the sandings. Nothing must remain, or the finish he'll be applying later won't be smoothe.

I really like the center motif idea that you're going with on your travel quilt, Riana. You are such a creative gal!

Thanks, Kris. I like your idea of barrel cactus.
No sewing today ( again!) But the livingroom floor is down, and now comes sanding & finishing. I did manage to audition some fabrics for that center block. But the red l chose turns out to be a " bleeder". So now l'm still selecting. I usually prewash anything coming into stash...but this was a scrap someone gave me. Trying multiple washings in Dawn. We'll see.
