The holiday weekend was pretty soggy. I bet you saw on the news what one little town here in Maryland looked like. We didn't get that horrific flooding but we did get buckets and buckets of rain. I took advantage of the down time and got Daddio's Thangle quilt sandwiched.
It was my reward for finishing this one. I used up all his bits and pieces to pull this unfinished one together. I free motion quilted it half to death to make sure all those appliqued pieces stay put. I was racing the clock on this one because I wanted him to see it finished but....well, you know. Life gets in the way and all of sudden you are out of time.
I also free motioned and bound off the Valentine's mini quilt that has been waiting its turn since....February.
I also got two more dishcloths finished. I loved that gradient cotton up until that last petal. It's just one too many to keep the gradient thing going. No biggie. It's just a dishcloth. Now the plan is to make some washcloths for my new bathroom. Bathroom update tomorrow.

That is a gorgeous quilt and a great tribute to your Dad. I love the scrubby and dishcloth too and look forward to the bathroom update. I saw the news and I am very relieved to hear the flooding wasn’t bad for you. I feel for all of the others though.

Gorgeous quilt!! So colorful and what a wonderful remembrance of Daddio!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful finishes! The gradient dishcloth is a beauty.
ReplyDeleteIt was a soggy weekend here, too. My lawn looks great because of all the moisture.
Love how your shoes and jammie pants match your Valentine quilt-let.
ReplyDeleteThe "leftovers" quilt is just beautiful! Love the design you created to make it all work. Of course, I also love the mini-quilt. Still raining each day here in Virginia but torrential downpours and no flooding this time. Hot and muggy - yuck.
ReplyDeleteLove both of the quilts! So glad you weren't affected by the flooding. That must have been some storm.
ReplyDeleteaw Daddio would love it. You were an amazing daughter to a not easy to live with daddio in the end. Hooray for bathroom finish and new washcloths
