Easter Monday

-
Had a great day yesterday, hubby and I had a feasting for Easter dinner, I can say that our strawberry Tarte was giant for the two of us,  he did the shopping!!!!
but one thing, strawberry tarte for breakfast isn't that great!!!Didn't want it to go to waste!!!!
Well, I finally had the courage to finish my roses, and they are on the frame.  I am so, so with it, I should have used brown thread, and put a plain backing, but it is done, so here is a picture!!!
By the way, we had a storm this afternoon!!!Looks great.....

Rebecca, the fabric is way too busy, hard to see on it when I quilt so just did an allover flower and leaves, made a mistake, should have used brown thread, but we always learn with our mistakes....
I really stuffed the quilt around the flowers to roll it up, but the last border was so so, those roses are so thick!!!

    Today I can say "thirty years in waiting"  is finished I had made a queen size quilt with these fabrics and I missed it so that I had started another but put it away for a rainy day.    So happy that I found the box many years later and was able to get it finished at last!! A nine patch or simple irish chain, so off I went with my box, and this is what it turned into.... I am so pleased, and it is big enought to use on the dining room table. I have a few squares left, maybe enought to make a place setting or something. The quilting design is from My Creative Stitches  Monday Patch Vacation time is over and we are back to our art!! Two of the gals have finished their giant wedding ring, one is ready to be quiltied and another is alread to go on the table.  Quilting in lines, it turned out really nice.
