I had finished the quilting on this one at least a week ago and I got the binding sewn on yesterday. I have posted it on my Wandaful blog (link on right side bar of my blog page) and I talk about the details and have close up pictures of several areas on that blog. I originally had it turned a quarter turn and couldn't decide which end was up. The I put it on the wall this way and decided it was more powerful with the 2 towers of strips on the 2 sides instead of top and bottom. My Christmas cactus is still blooming and has lots more buds.
I have another giveaway tomorrow that probably nobody will want but one person is all I need.
The flowers are so intricate and I finally have had some success with the Super Macro setting on my camera.
For those of you who read every day, you probably have realized that I continue with the story from the day before a lot of the time. I said yesterday that I would show one of my overflowing batik scrap bags. This bag is mostly long and crooked strips, like the ones I used in the quilt at the top of the page. I have another bag that has chunks instead of strips. I will be making 2 scrap bag giveaways from each of these, so that is 4 total. If you want to win one of these leave a comment that either says strips or chunks so I know which (only one please) that you are interested in. DO NOT advertise this giveaway. It is for my faithful readers. I will be mailing these out after Christmas. Sign up ends Tuesday the 15th at midnight Central Standard time. Yes that is just 2 days for signing up, another reason for reading my blog every day, LOL.Here is a little pile I pulled for myself. This is what it looks like so far. I plan on slicing it up and playing some more with it.
