En Provence is quilted

Finally got this big baby quilted, and not without lots of problems...thread breaking top and bottom, tension issue on the back, and more.  Then I sent my Bernina in for service thinking this would solve my issues, but it came back in worse shape than it went in.  But perseverance, patience, and changing needle, thread and a lot of bad words and it finally hummed on to the finish!  Just the binding to put on and I sure hope that's a breeze.  Not going to make any more BIG quilts of Bonnie Hunter's mystery any more...

and now the binding!

 

A June finish

Finished the last mystery QOV of Alycia's, and I believe a new mystery starts in July.  Here is my rendition - it's been a very long time since I did straight-line quilting, but I do like how this turned out.

here's the one my sister did, I love the background!

HEY, I finished another quilt

Boy quilting sure is slow going this year, I think I am getting bored of it...but I will still finish all that I've started and perhaps by then I'll have my zest back...
Here is the Meadow Mystery complete and ready to donate to H2H

I'm still recuperating from a broken right foot, 5th metatarsal Jones fracture, another 4 wks non-weight bearing.  Sometimes I cheat and put on a shoe, for dentist appointment, eye appointment, grocery shopping.  Mostly compliant!

Charming Hourglass

Here is my Charming Hourglass.  Next up, I have on the machine to quilt my Meadow Mystery quilt. 

Sunday post

My foot feels nearly healed although my next doctor's visit this week will tell for sure.  In the meantime, I've been busy quilting the backlog of quilt tops for donation.
Here is another Charming Stars donated to H2H, specifically Happy Chemo

 

 

Here is another Round the World, donated to H2H, specifically to Camp Hobe, for children

 

 

and I have a 3rd one quilted just needing the binding, which I will donate to Quilts for Kids.  I discovered there is a local group for this organization, making it so much easier to donate the quilt.  Here it is so far - Charming Hourglass

Still have one more donation quilt top to finish,, plus the humungous Bonnie Hunter mystery, which I know will be time consuming ...  glad to be "back in the saddle"

 

 





My long absence from blog

my my, where has the time gone!  I was on a roll until some time in March, then I fell and sustained a fractured foot. So I'm in a boot, non-weight bearing. I hope later this month to be able to sew a little.  So glad I didn't break a hip

a finished top

My En Provence quilt top is finally finished...

I then added borders to the Meadow Mist Mystery, and this one is ready for quilting...

For the 182-Day Solstice, here is block 9, the biggest of the group...

here are the other 8 blocks, the big one above will be in the center with the others positioned around it.  I've seen the layout, kind of excited to finish this one!

AND I'm keeping up with the clues for the QOV mystery with Alycia (Yahoo groups).
