“Red Positivity” is Off the Longarm

Whew!

She is a BIG and heavy quilt.

The quilting came out really well: Acadia pantograph. I wanted something curvy and with some hint of plants.

I can never resist trimming a quilt at this stage–so I did stop everything and trim her. I had already cut the binding, so I sewed the lengths together and ironed it. Today I’ll sew on the binding before I do anything else quilty. The binding is that same lavender (Kona Thistle).

I used a medium grey thread, which worked really well front and back, which is a medium to lighter grey.

We got a little rain over the past two days. Not so much as an inch though. I’ll take what I can get–it’s more than I could put down with the hose. And it will be warmer and humid today–not quite 80 though.

Our family is starting to gather for Thanksgiving: one grandson flew in from college last night late; the other comes Tuesday. Three Enright families (sisters) from Boston rented a beach house and most of them are coming today. DIL’s brother and fiancé are coming from Minnesota. Altogether we will be 32 by last count.

It will all be a “party in motion” starting this weekend.

  3. She is beautiful! I would have be happy to send some of the rain we had in Florida up to you — it rained the entire week on and off except for Thursday when it rained…. poured…. ALL day! But my yard is a beautiful green. Enjoy your Thanksgiving!

    1. Maybe some rain this week. One can hope. But Thanksgiving day will be sunny, so that’s good. The small amount of rain we did get last week (not even an inch) did come from Florida–that big storm skirted the coast though. But maybe it really helped the drought upstate, which was bad. Have a lovely Thanksgiving week!
