Finally Sewing!

As promised finally some sewing. I took my bears away to quilt and enjoyed quilting in the outdoors.
I have managed to quilt 5 blocks. I decided to just quilt in vertical lines and a little ditch quilting.
I am quite happy with how it looks and doesn't take away from the stitchery too much. Don't you just love scrappies!
The Bears were very patient while I finished off the quilting on my last Secret Sewing project....just the binding to go. Woo hoo!
Short and sweet today folks. I hope you are enjoying your day.
Namaste and Blessings,
Michelle xxx

    I love the quilt and the quilting but I would be terrified of getting my quilt in the dirt if doing it outside.

    The vertical quilting looks really good. Quilting outdoors would be a different experience.

    It's always nice to have a little stitching for 'just in case' while you're vacationing. Your bears are adorable.

    Pretty bears,and Dresden plate.Really lovely Michelle. Love the hand quilting.I'm hand quilting a hexagon flower garden table topper and enjoying doing it. Haven't hand quilted before.I have difficulty with a large hoop so have been trying without a hoop. I think it is ok. Shirley N.Z.
