Can you believe it? LOL I told you I'd be back in a few days to show a couple of finishes and here I am...WooHoo!
First up is my niece Brittni's quilt. She is getting married this summer and really isn't into quilts much, but she did ask her mom, my sister, if I was going to make her a quilt...hehe, of course I am! All quilted, bound and washed to give it that comfy feeling and all I need to do now is get it ready to ship.
I think I linked to the pattern in a previous post, so I'm not going to do the linky thing again....I know, bad blogger!
Here's a little quilt that I made a couple of years ago and decided I would hand quilt...which is not my thing, but I'm trying!
It laid around and finally a couple of weeks ago I said to myself, Ranette, finish that right now...so I did...LOL...I usually don't listen to myself very well. Here's a closeup of the quilting (see, I really don't have any pride).
I did a big stitch with Pearle cotton across the quilt and then free-hand baptist fans, in red Pearle for the border. It will be cute hanging on the wall this Fall.
And just because it's a lovely day today, here are a couple of my husband's gorgeous photos of a couple of the flowers in our yard. First up is a peach Iris
And this one is our fuchsia Peony...so pretty!
Have a lovely day! ranette

Brittni's quilt is really, really really stupendous - i think i already told you that i don't love any of my nieces THAT much - nope, i love them enough for templates, but not enough for curves.
