WIP Wednesday

It's been ages since I did a WIP wednesday - there's so much going on that I usually forget to post on the right day - but I got away from classes a little earlier today so thought I'd jump in quickly before going off to make dinner (laksa with chicken and prawns) - and before the evening classes start.

So, I had a finish, which I blogged about here and here's some close ups of the quilting...

intent was to do lovely tight spirals, but like my body, they got a little loose!
a little 3D action
looks like a ribbon

I put the 1st border on this one - and I think I'm christening it 'Ice Age' after a lovely comment...


According to my 'To Do' list there's at least 432 more things to be done and I will eventually (maybe) get to them.....

This next week I have 5 client quilts to quilt on the longarm, so best get into that, as well as starting a quilt I want to make up into a kit.....oh, and the do.good stitches blocks need to be made.....and I must finish the remaining blocks of the Farmers Wife........and.........bugger!

    Love the quilting! Just stunning!

    With 432 (give or take) projects still to go... I think it's safe to say you'll be busy for a little while! Look forward to seeing what you make!

    I like the circles. Ice Age is a great name and my favorite movie (cartoon category) I think it' s so funny!

    Your quilting is beautiful, I love that white on red! The circle quilt is seriously impressive! Good luck on your 432 projects...sewing to-do lists never seem to get any smaller! Thank you for linking up to WIP Wednesday!

    I had to go and look up what Laksa was--I'm always learning something new on your blog (give us the recipe?). Fabulous quilting, just so cool to see all the difference that varied stitches can make. And when I read your list of things to do. . .well, now I need to go and take a nap!

    And PS, love those reds!

    If I’d read this last night you would have been setting an extra place for dinner. I love laksa.

    Ice Age is gorgeous. And I love the name. It’s going to be a beauty.
