Plop, plop, fizz, fizz Oh what a relief it is

LOL ....sorry, but that's what popped into my head when I started thinking about the quilt I finally finished last week.  It sat, half done, from late June until about two or three weeks ago when I  took it off the frame, picked out all the stitching and let it set for about a week while I decided how I really wanted to quilt it. Once I decided what I wanted to do, it was just a matter of doing the stitching around the flowers one night and then around each flower center and petal the next night.  I think I did the binding and label on the third day.

Then, it was on to another project.  The top was done a week or so ago.. I was just waiting for more backing to arrive in the mail.

Gnome Christmas

The quilting is done -- the label and binding are made; I just haven't felt up to finishing it.  Oh, I almost forgot - I want to add a stitch in the center of the smaller white blocks.  I stitched a circle around each motif, but that still leaves a little too much unquilted inside the circles, so I decided that if I got some of my embroidery floss out and took just one stitch in the center of each circle and tie the ends of the floss it should be enough.

Cold weather has arrived and my bones are complaining :( .  I had a couple of craft shows that I wanted to go to over the weekend, but it didn't happen.  I was lucky to just be able to walk Buddy on Saturday morning; on Sunday, he had to wait for my son to come over to walk him.

Hopefully this week will be better.  I have that Gnome Christmas quilt to finish along with a few smaller Christmas gift projects to do.  And, of course, there are quilt tops waiting their turn on Mo'e. I guess I'd better get on the ball here and get myself mobile.

Take care
