Quilting flowers and leaves

I've started quilting on a second Healing Garden quilt this morning and have decided to try an all over design of flowers and leaves and swirls. All I've quilted on big quilts has been a meandering stipple and straight lines, so this is new to me. I've done extensive designs on small 8x10 pieces, but not a large quilt. It's hard to move that much fabric around smoothly and as I want to!

I'm working on keeping those stitches more uniform size... and other than that it's just fun to go totally free-style!

The Healing Garden Quilt

I named this quilt "The Healing Garden".

It is for a young woman (19yrs) who is going thru radiation treatment daily for cancer. I work with her mom.

She is a bright and vibrant girl and I wanted the quilt to reflect that.

The quilt also has 16 positive affirmation words stitched onto some plain pink and green blocks. Faith, hope, love, heal, grace, pray, etc...

Prayers and hope for Kiera!

October Sunset

October sunsets are just outrageous!

We have been getting night after night of such beauty and glory.

Just had to share this one with you!

I'll be posting a quilt soon - almost finished...

Happy Halloween.

Quilted fabric bowl with stitched cobblestones:

...and a few tall buildings to line the streets...

This one was inspired by the falling leaves:

Goteborg Sweden

I am in Goteborg Sweden!

It is beautiful!

I am here visiting my SIL for 1 week, she is here for 2 months. It is a very different lifestyle than at home, which includes a LOT of walking, it's wonderful!

I'm off to explore in a few minutes... hopefully to visit a couple museums, the river front with ships, and to wander thru the Haga District.

Happy ME!
