Beloved Spouse is having major surgery later today (at 2:30 Eastern time).  They have let us know that we can't expect BSP back home again until Tuesday at the latest, and then there will be an extended recovery time . Although I have taken time off work - returning on October 18; I'm not sure how much or how often I'll be able to be online. 

If you're a "thinking good thoughts/sending good vibes/praying type" please spare some of those for BSP later today.



And I'll see you when I see you, until then, keep on quilting, and make a stitch or two for me.  :)

Kit

I showed you this quilt in one of my Wednesday WIPs a few weeks ago, and finally got around to quilting it.

Although this quilt's beauty may not show up in photographs well (BSP says it doesn't); this  is one of my favourite quilts that I've made.  Perhaps it's the warmth of all those wools (the entire quilt is wool except for the gold satin accents and the cotton batting!)

One of the reasons I love it, is that it's made entirely from scraps.  Some of the "scraps" were so big that they may not necessarily be viewed as such (a scrap is in the eye of the beholder after all); but the entire quilt is made from leftovers from other projects, so technically speaking at least; it's a scrap quilt. 

I chose to use a honeycomb quilting in the loden green wool panels; and line quilting in red thread in the plaid wool panels.  The satin accents were quilted in a free motion leaf motif; and the insides of the one row of blocks was done in receding triangles. I quite like the way that turned out, and am going to use it again!



I love this quilt and will be sorry when it goes to live in someone else's house!

Sometimes, the quilt is just there.  No fuss, no muss, no bother.  There it is, just make it already.

Those of you who have been with me since the beginning may remember this quilt:





You know, the one in my header? :)

It was the second quilt I ever made.  I'm revisiting it- this time in black.  Won't that be luscious?!
