Quilted Sunflower

 Finished the quilting on my Sunflower quilt.  Love the looks of it.  Now I will keep it on my design wall for a bit to be sure I do not want to change or add anything.  
The detal shows the quilting a little better.  I used Superior Cotton on the stem and Sulky Polyester on the petals to make them glisten a bit.  Switched back to Superior for the browning petals.

Thursday our counters go in.  It will be a long day and I have to empty all the lower cabinets on Wed.  I think I will use that time to purge the things I find that I have not seen or used for over a year.   A good time to reorganize all the abracadabra (my mother's expression) under the kitchen sink.

  1. I love how it came out. I need to go through my old digital photos and try something.

  2. the quilting looks great. how big is this piece?

    I remodeled my kitchen 6 years ago and it is a great time to get rid of things you keep 'just in case someone needs it'.

  4. Love the sunflower, it looks great. You said earlier you quilted the background before you added the flowers- how do you keep the background from showing through?

    I'm sure the kitchen will look great when all the counters are done. Purge, purge now- I swear whatever you purge will find a way to breed and return, and then some!
