Batik Beauty on the Frame

A quick post to show what I've been busy with this week. 

   

  I thought I'd be done quilting this by now and working on the binding.  Unfortunately, I've been unquilting,  as well as quilting.  It's different quilting for a show.  I'm being extra careful but still noticing imperfections, then wondering if anyone else will see them.   It's a bit of pressure but I'm also very happy to be finishing something of my own.

I'm in the groove now and hope to have it off the frame in the morning.  Next is a customer quilt. 

 Then I have another of my own to finish for the show.  Pictures of that one next time.

Today I'm linking with Design Wall Monday and Quilting by the River Tuesdays (early).    

Design Wall Monday- Batik Beauty

Batik Beauty

I know I have posted about my New York Beauty before, hope you don't mind seeing it again. 

 I'm getting to work on it today because it's entered in the Warwick Guild show in May!  

So, better spend a little time on it between now and May 8th - drop off day. 

Even though I like it like this, a border of the wine color batik will be added as kind of a frame.  I have a few ideas on how I will quilt it but I'm still thinking through designs and enjoying looking at pictures and books for some inspiration.  

Soon I hope to have pictures to share of this all quilted and ready for the show. 

Of course I will take time later to look at all the Design Walls at Patchwork Times and hope you will too.

Liebster Award

Yesterday I was thrilled to receive a Liebster Award from Judy at Shade Tree Quilting. 

 Thank you so much Judy for thinking enough of my blog to send this my way.  I truly appreciate it.  Please visit her blog and the other blogs she chose.  

A Liebster is given by fellow bloggers who have fewer that 200 followers.  Although the beginning of this award is unknown, it is believed to have started in Germany.  Liebster is translated to mean favorite, beloved, or dearest.  I think it's a nice way for smaller bloggers to recognized and appreciate each other. 

There are five rules that come with accepting this award.

1. Please thank your Liebster Blog Award presenter on your blog.
2. Link back to the blogger who awarded you.
3. Copy and Paste the blog award to your blog.
4. Reveal your 5 blog nominees (each with less than 200 followers)
5. Let them know you chose them by posting on their blogs.

Step 4 took a great deal of thought and research.   I usually read blogs on my IPad through  Google Reader so I  don't see all the information on the sides of the blogs.  I really didn't know who has a lot of followers and who had less than 200.  It was interesting to see how everyone has their blogs set up.  Anyway, some of my favorite blogs have more than 200 followers and some didn't show the number of followers at all.
 It was hard to choose just five. Please know that I appreciate all the blogs I follow and everyone who follows me.

  I'd like to present the the Liebster Award to

 Dilly-Dally Days

Sue Daurio's Quilting Adventures

Little Jewel Quilts

Linda's Quiltmania

Tamarack Shack

Please take a few minutes to visit these "favorite, beloved, and dearest " blogs.
 Hopefully they will be pleased to be chosen.
 I wish I could pick more a few more but this award came with rules.

Thanks again Judy
