It is fun to enjoy them on a daily basis.
This is only one of the rails I have to drape quilts on. I feel so lucky!
I've been working diligently on my hand quilting.
Not much better on a cold winter evening to have a quilt in your lap.
I finished all of the outline quilting in and around the applique in the floor frame. Now I have the quilt in my lap using a hoop.
So relaxing.
Hard to make cream on cream exciting in a photo.
I have also joined Nicolas Scarlet Letter Year blog.
I have a few Scarlet Letter samplers that have been languishing for years. I have completed several and LOVE them. This was just the motivation I needed to get going again.
I have my silk thread on mother of pearl rings and got out a color coordinated guilloche needle case.
I hope January is providing you with lots of time to stitch!
Love the railing full of quilts. I have two railings, but not that many quilts!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful hand quilting, Dawn.
Love the sampler. I have a couple of sampler patterns from my cross-stitch phase (when it was my obsession), that I still hope to do someday.
Love your quilts!! And I LOVE cream on cream!!! perfect. Alas, I've had a little trouble with my hands this week, so not much hand quilting - must get back to it! It is cool and rainy today here, so a perfect day for quilting!!
ReplyDeleteHave a Colorful Colorado Day!!
Blessings
Your quilting stitches look perfect - no matter the color! I looked at the SL sampler blog. There is going to be some beautiful work done by this group. I can't wait to check it each month to see the progress.
ReplyDeleteYou lucky one to have such a fantastic place to show your quilt. One more beautiful as the other. I think, the quilting is perfect and so easy to see.
ReplyDeleteWonderful quilts on the railing...what fun that yould be to look at each day. :)

Love your display. I used my rails for a few Christmas quilts. Looks like I need to be a copycat and try using them all year long *s*
ReplyDeleteThere is no better way to stay warm in the winter! Your stitches look lovely. Your railing full of quilts is fabulous!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the rail packed with quilts. Your stitches looks good.
ReplyDeleteLove the railing gallery! I only have a short rail but should let my quilts be shown this way too. Thanks for the idea :) Your hand quilting project looks lovely, stitching just perfect! How fun that you get to play with your favorite antiques while enjoying cross-stitch.
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous of your railing decoration! I wish I had more places to display my quilts out of the direct sunlight. Your hand quilting is looking wonderful. Glad you are getting in some relaxation time.:)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful way to display them. I hope you have quite a few rails - I know you will need them.
ReplyDeleteDawn your display of beautiful quilts is awesome. Your hand quilting is beautifully done, I love those tiny stitches. And, of course I love the sampler. I will need to look into Scarlet Letter samplers.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, I wish I had that many quilts to hang! Wish I had a rail to hang them on too. lol! I love that SL sampler. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI bet when you bought your new house, those railings were the determining factor. Your quilts look great. The cold weather is heading back this weekend, have fun under your quilt. Your hand quilting looks perfect!
ReplyDeleteOur previous home had an upstairs railing like yours only not as long. It was a wonderful display place for quilts. And I changed them out often.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic display space! Your hand quilting looks wonderful, and it's such a great pattern. Good luck on your new project. Scarlet Letter makes such pretty patterns.
ReplyDeleteLove all of your quilts - isn't it great to be able to have them out so you can see them every day. Just makes the day better! Your hand quilting is really nice - such small, perfect stitches.
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to try a sampler from Scarlett Letter but they look so intimidating!
ReplyDeleteHave you shown all those quilts individually? They are beautiful displayed on the rail. Bet they provide a good sound barrier as well as being pretty.
