I have the quilting done and the binding done on 3 sides. Many people wondered yesterday in comments how I would quilt this. I always think I am repeating myself when I tell how I do things, but then there are always new readers, and some readers who will never go back and read any of my entries in the archives (or by clicking on a subject in the LABELS list on the right sidebar) so I will explain what I do.
Since this pieces is small, about 18" on a side, ditch quilting is all that is necessary to start out with. I have done that already and as I am sewing the binding I am deciding whether it needs a few more lines in the right side border. If any free motion is added it will be very little.
Here is the mass of flowers on the one amaryllis. Someone asked a few days ago if the flowers only last a couple days. The answer is no, it is more like a couple weeks. There will be 9 flowers on these 2 stems when they all open.
One of my friends gave us little poinsettias last November and mine is still doing well.
The art quilters will be here soon. The sun is shining even though it is only supposed to get a few degrees above freezing. It will be nice and warm inside with all of the conversation and show and tell.
