A Quick Panel Quilt Finish: The Bee-Attitudes

 I quilted up a panel that I bought last year.  Are you surprised?  It's bees!  And Bible Verses!  J Wecker Frisch generally likes to put in bits of Bible verses in her designs.  This one is pretty obvious, the Beatitudes. If you want the actual list check out Matthew 5:1-12

 My biggest problem with panels is that they are never really printed straight.  To trim and bind to the printing, the quilt itself is slightly wonky.

 This is a better shot of the backing colors.  The fabric is long ago Ruby fabric from Bonnie and Camille.

 A couple close up shots of the panel.

I just did some straight line quilting and a little bit of outlining in each box with Invisafil thread.  The batting is a thin mystery polyester.

Can't wait to hang it up and celebrate spring - once St Patrick's day is done.

Celebrating Spring with Quilts

 Three little mini quilts I finished up this past week.

 Happy Spring Everyone!

Irish Kids and Signs of Spring

Sent Lucky & Lass off to school this morning with some green scrambled eggs.  "Gross, Mom"

Looks like he's still sleeping!

Bathed the Hooligan and the Leprechaun and took some pictures.

 

 

Then I went searching for some signs of spring.

Ah, hah!  a bit of green poking up right next to the house!

I don't have a bit of Irish in me, but Mr. Riley and the kids do.  We will be celebrating with Corned Beef & Cabbage, Soda Bread, & Blackberry Crumble.  Yum!

What do you do for St. Patrick's Day?
