have fun…
don’t forget to smile working it all out…
keep it simple…
remember… how sweet it is ~ life is good!
and it’s okay to say goodbye {using it up} to this sweet hand dyed yarn! i used it in the border of the binding, using my {bernina#43 free motion couching foot. this tiny little bit is all i have left. thanks for a great time pretty yarn!
and the quilting is “straight-forward” as a manner of speaking! i used a 90/14 topstitch needle, 40 wt. king tut thread on the top, and black 50 wt masterpiece in the bottom; all from superior threads. then stitch away, using the dual feed feature, or use a walking foot; either works smooth as glass!! i began by marking a straight line down the middle of the quilt with a disappearing ink kind of pen, and then use my foot as the width guide as i stitch from one end to the other. my tip: keep the lines uneven! it makes for a more interesting texture {in my humble opinion ~ and personal preference}!
i’m writing a pattern for this design, too ~ coming… soon!

Kathy E is right about the screen door effect – lovely! You're on a roll 🙂 Retirement suits you!!!
I enjoy seeing your work so much! Each one is a masterpiece. I am always on the look-out for large floral prints so I can *attempt* this technique. I think your quilting lines make it appear that you're looking through a screen door at the vase of flowers…very dimensional!
It's simply beautiful!!!
