Last spring I ran across a lovely preprinted panel of spring flowers and
things at a LQS here and couldn't resist buying it, though I haven't
often used preprinted things before. Over the long weekend, with DH away
at a golf tournament, I needed a quick project that wouldn't take much
thinking g, so I got this out. I found a perfect border fabric in my
stash and used free-motion quilting with rayon threads to accent many of
the motifs on the panel and to do a daisy chain in the border. The wall
hanging was finished last night and looks pretty nice in our dining area
-- even though it's not spring right now. It's on my Miscellaneous
page (why are so many of my projects ending up as miscellaneous??) at
http://home.earthlink.net/~s_foster/misc.html, right under the Ramada Gals
quilt.

Thanks, Sandy! BTW, I've fallen in love with those Bohin needles!
They're really nice. Thanks again -- I'm going to see if my LQS will
stock them.

Exactly, Dee! It's good to take a break from the more challenging ones
every now and then.

Yes! That border fabric looks like it came with it.


I couldn't believe it when I saw it, LN. The blue in the panel is sort
of a periwinkle, so what were the odds that I'd have something of that
particular shade in my stash? Uhhh...come to think of it, the way I feel
about blues (and purples), the odds weren't that bad, after all! LOL!

No, not wrong. Just differently productive! Other people do seem to Finish
more projects than me, but I'm having fun anyway!

Wow! I like that, Sandy! Nice job on getting it all finished at once,
instead of starting it, putting it down, starting something else,
working
a
bit on that other thing, fiddling on computer... Oh, wait. That's me.

LOL! We've been using my Unfinished Xena quilt for months now! It's more
comfortable without the safety pins, but the edge of the batting is still
scratchy. :-P

Finished is good. Fun is equally good. Finished is slightly more useable.
Im aiming for a nice balance. Fun usually wins tho! haha Im with you, a
new
fun project is worth the pile of UFOs!

I agree we all need a quickie project now and then. My last "quickie
project" was the little hen pin cushion. It took less that 1 hour and was
so cute I made another.
