How quickly the week passes! It's already Friday, and you know what that means - it's time to get our whoop whoop on! Are you ready?
Unfortunately, I didn't quite manage to finish Nathanael's quilt this week - it's still lacking the binding - but I did finish the quilting today...
I started with some straight line quilting on the diagonals...
Then I did dense 1/4" straight lines on the borders...
And this morning I loaded it on the quilt frame for some random meandering in the white triangles!
And here's what the back looks like with all that stitching! I wasn't expecting such a cool effect - nice surprise!
And here's a few other little things I'm whooping about this week...
...like Cinderella with my favorite eldest granddaughter...
...a new fort for my adorable youngest granddaughter from IKEA...
...and my very first experience with making my own baklava!!
And a very happy whoop whoop - we've already had over fifty people sign up for this year's Hands2Help Challenge!

The quilting is fantastic!! Those triangles on the backside look amazing. Great work!
ReplyDeleteLove your quilting and granddaughters. The baklava: a shame it is only a photo you can share!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love finding a back with a fun quilting surprise design. Love your quilting!
ReplyDeleteI am not at home getting a lot of sewing done but have gotten a little sewing done, yesterday I was a huge antique shop and saw a lot of quilts so linked to that and I am featured on another blog and left a link to that on my blog
ReplyDeleteLove the bold colors of your quilt, and oh that Baklava looks so good!
ReplyDeleteThe quilting is fabulous and inspiring. Your baklava is making me very hungry. Looks so yummy
ReplyDeleteThe quilting detail looks so wonderful on the back of Nathanael's quilt!
ReplyDeleteYour quilting is amazing.
ReplyDeleteThere are so many lovely projects linked up this week! Thank you for hosting!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilting. So you did all of the straight quilting with the walking foot before putting it on your machine? How did you baste it?
ReplyDeleteSuch fun things in your post but first...I was startled...it's Friday?! I thought it was Thursday! LOL...the brain waves are apparently not working! Thanks for setting me straight :-)
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun post. I've dancing because I have spent the afternoon quilting. Love that I get Friday afternoons to myself.
ReplyDeleteWow love your quilting in those spaces!!!
ReplyDeleteNathaniel's quilt is looking fantastic. I love the effect on the back!
ReplyDeleteGreat quilting, but why don't you do the straight-line quilting on your longarm? I can't imagine quilting on my DSM when I have a longarm - wrestling a quilt through that tiny harp is a pain! I've been working on Elephant Parade and Texas Teardrops and hope to have the tops finished by this weekend!
ReplyDeleteI want some of that Balaclava! It looks yummy! Great pictures of the girls.
ReplyDeleteI'll give you a Whoop Whoop! Awesome work. Straight-line stitching on the long arm isn't all it's cracked up to be, so I can see why you chose to do it on your domestic machine. Great look. And your baklava looks astounding. Any left overs?
ReplyDeleteYour quilting looks so great!
