Sunny and Bright

I’ve been back on stitching Mary these past few days. Mary’s name finally appeared~~ Love those bird motifs!!!

Here’s the progress as of today~ Noticed I’m avoiding the blank space on the right? I miscounted on one of the motifs and is trying to figure out how to adjust the other ones to fit them in…. Do not want to think of that now….

The sun is out and it’s in the 90’s, and I’m sweating like a pig… and summer is not even officially here yet!!! But it is such a pleasure to see the sun again after a long rainy season. I brought all my winter blankets up to the rooftop today for some sunshine, and thought I should take some better photos of my quilt~ Well, here it is baking under the sun!!! Still loving it every time I see it~

While I was on the rooftop, I also took some photos of the surroundings. This is Taichung, Taiwan, where I call home.

Hope you’re enjoying some sunny days as well~

Tumbler Quilt Fin.!!!!

Happy dance!!!! Happy dance!!!!! After two years and eight months, I finally finished my tumbler quilt~~~~ I’m sooooo happy that it is done!!!!!!! I was going to take some photos with it outside but It’s raining and I couldn’t wait to share this with all of you so these photos will have to do….

Pattern: Something I made up myself
Fabric: Urban Chiks 1974
Size: 78” x 61”
Beginning Date: 09-19-2010
Completion Date: 05-15-2013

I used the 1974 Urban Chiks fabric for this quilt. I still remember how I fell in love with this line of fabric when I first laid my eyes on them, and I still love it!!! I also used the fabric from the same line for the backing, and I have to say it is equally as beautiful as the front~

I hand quilted the whole thing, which is why it took me so long. But I think the end result is totally worth the effort!!!!!

I remembered to add a quilt tag this time. The date on it was the day I finished all the hand quilting. I did not expect the binding would go missing for so long…. At least it tuned out at the end~

And who would have know this quilt will go so perfectly with my new guess bed!!!! I just put this bed together a few weeks ago. Don’t you think they are a perfect match?!

Found!!

Things will turn up when you’re least expected – this is so true!!!! I was moving things around in the closet yesterday and there it was – my missing binding!!!!! I was so thrilled to find it, and immediately dug my sewing machine out of its box and set it up.

I am working on the whip stitch now, the end is finally near~
