The sewing will be slow, but the wind will be fast.
I finished the hand quilting on the Orange Peels last night! The orange peels are quilted with coordinating colors of pearle cotton. The border got a zig zag treatment in grey. Now that this one is done, I'll have to get my Leap Year quilt finished up to be next on the list for hand quilting.
I got the binding cut out last night, so getting that attached will be first on the list today.
Then the nine patches on point need some binding as well. I'm going to use the same striped fabric from the inner border. It looks like there will be plenty of binding to keep me busy when the power goes out. Until then, I'll keep enjoying the air conditioning and cable TV. I'm linking up today with Kathy for Slow Stitching Sunday and Cyndi for Oh Scrap! It was her nine patch quilts that inspired mine. She works a bit faster though.
Such a cheerful quilt...love all the bright colors!
ReplyDeleteYour orange peel quilt is so bright and happy! It looks like it was a fun one to work on. Glad you have some plans for stitching that will help you get through today's weather!
ReplyDeleteWorried about you. Stay safe!
ReplyDeleteLove the quilts! Stay safe.
ReplyDeleteI love both nine patches and orange peels, so these are making me smile!
ReplyDeleteHoping for the best, weather-wise!
I do hope you are in a safe place. This storm is fierce.
ReplyDeleteI like your orange peel blocks, such cheerful colors on these stormy days.
Seeing the progress on your nine patch makes me want to make another one. Your quilts are always so happy! Thanks for linking up with Oh Scrap!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is stunning! Thanks for showing it with a view of the current gusts of wind you are getting. Oh my. Be safe!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful finish! Stay safe!
ReplyDeleteBoth of those quilts make me smile!
ReplyDeleteWhat size and brand of needles do you use when hand quilting and appliqueing?
ReplyDeleteBoth quilts are beautiful, but I'm in love with your nine-patch quilt.
ReplyDeleteI forgot today was Sunday! Glad you still have power and are sewing away. I found out I tend to bake and cook when I am nervous. I think I'll pull out some hand stitching while I watch tv.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck getting the binding attached before the power goes out!! I only recall being in one hurricane. It was terrifying!! What a trooper you are, being SEW productive.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the peels finish and I hope that your power stays on !
ReplyDeleteWonderful orange peels! Love the colours!
ReplyDeleteAt least you are being productive. I would probably be glued to the Weather Channel which we did watch this morning for a while, but then decided I needed to turn it off and accomplish something myself. We have friends and family all over Florida, so no matter where Irma treads, someone I know is going to get hit.
ReplyDeleteHope all goes well for you and your family.

Stay safe, I hope the power isn't down for long.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you're so well prepared and have plenty to keep you busy while you wait out the worst. Hope it doesn't get to be more than you or your home can handle.
ReplyDeleteKeep safe. Sending good wishes from Sydney Australia
ReplyDeletePs I love your rainbow scrappy quilts each and every one of them
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the beautiful finishes! You made really good use of all the nervous energy.
