Quilting Floral Reflections 3

Posted on December 22, 2020 | 12 comments

Some of you know that the day job has been particularly demanding this month…I have had no days off since I had one on December 3rd.

Therefore, I am not focused on Christmas.

What little energy that I have had after work, has been spent machine quilting Floral Reflections. I am determined to finish this quilt by the end of the year!

I was stumped as to how to quilt the border when I came upon this stencil design in my Electric Quilt 8 program. I think it is a design that I imported to EQ some time ago.

It worked out great!

The quilting is finished. I am on to the binding.

I just might make my self imposed deadline!

Quilt On!

Many of you know that I am taking a photography class.

Hubby and I took a drive to one of our favorite places, so that I could practice and catch up on homework. We drove to nearby Douglas Falls Grange Park State Park.

My daughter, daughter-in-law, and niece are all beautiful girls interested in photography (and are becoming excellent photographers) and wanted to see what I was working on.

So this post is for them.

I was working on photographing water with different shutter speeds. Here are the results:

The last time that I shared a Floral Reflections progress report, I was considering what to use for the background filler for the applique blocks.

My go-to filler is stippling, but I wanted to try something different. I did think about pebbles. I love the look of pebbling, but I thought that would be too much work.

Cindy Needham talks about sunshine and shadow. She uses scribbling to create the shadow and emphasize the sunshine. So I decided to try it!
