hi there ~
thank you for your sweet comments, and encouragement … i so appreciate it!!
so here’s another beauty… from vicki welsh. you all know {by now?} how i feel about hand-dyed fabrics and the people who make them! they are incredible talents. what they do… the labor they provide, all to produce these incredibly colored fabrics, with care. i know it’s a labor of love for them! and therefore, i will endeavor to use them all the more in my labors of love!!!
this is actually a runner i stitched in the beginning of my week off. it kind of got lost in the shuffle. i think if you take a good look at the stitching of this one, and my very last ones {tomorrow and the next} you will be able to tell the difference a week makes! and a few hours every day. like anyone who has ever become a ‘master’ – they practice their craft every day!
the little swirl centers that make the spine line ~ they look simple enough. but i found them a little trickier than they first appear. it’s important to keep them the same size, and also
keep them a consistent distance apart from each other.and you can tell the difference if you take a look at mountain meadows {again}.
do i want to be a master? YES! of course it will never be perfect ~ ever. but i’m enjoying the challenge!
enJOY!

beautiful! love the swirls running down the middle and I do indeed think you are a Master or pretty darn close 🙂
Loving to see all your variations of feathering – swirls a fav of mine 🙂
You are such an inspiration, Leslie! I am a raw beginner and still trying to get my free motion under control. Practicing everyday! Thanks for everything!
This is gonna be hard to top! I have been thinking that I need to not be such a multi tasker and do one thing for long enough to do it well. hmmmm? thanks 😉
The fabric and the stitching is amazing. Love it all.
I think your quilting is perfect!
Wow the fabric is beautiful, but the quilting is absolutely gorgeous!!!!!!
