it because our signal was so slow. Then my daughter told me I could connect with my AT&T hot spot on my phone. So we cancelled our home internet, they had been promising faster speeds for years but never came through. We hope to sign up with Starlink, but they are at capacity in our area. On to other news!
We have a new great grandson, Briar Allen! I have been working on a quilt for him and finally got it in the mail.
Bramble Blooms #1 is a top! At some point there may be applique added to those red borders, we will see. I just wanted to get them sewn on for now. Not the usual way I do it and I may leave it just like it is. What do you think?

Bramble Blooms #2 is a finished top too.

More progress has been made on the hexie project. In the photo below the right side panel of 6 hexies is ready to sew on to the main part. (Where the red line is.) On the left side I am still working on that panel. (Where the blue line is.) I am linking up with Kathy and the other slow stitchers HERE and will be working on my hexies for my slow stitching.

Next time I hope to share some of my 2025 quilting plans. Let's see how this first blog post on the lap top turns out. What I see on my screen are washed out photos, I hope that don't look that bad to you. Thank you for reading my post. Rebecca

Congratulations on the great grandson, I'm sure he's a joy to hold and rock. All of the quilts are lovely but my favorite is Bramble 2. I really like applique borders, happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, beautiful quilts but that baby on a quilt photo is the best! He's so cute. Congratulations, to you and to the parents. IMHO I wouldn't add applique to the first Bramble quilt. Unless you can do wonky applique. I love the wonkiness all around the medallion and the red border is a perfect frame. A dark green binding would suffice to finish it off. Again, that's just me. I'm sure you will find what you like best. I love the second Bramble too. Enjoy the slow stitching time. ;^)
ReplyDeleteOh, forgot to mention, the photos are perfect. Not washed out at all. ;^)
ReplyDeleteFirst, your photos look clear with good bright colors. Sweet baby and his quilt looks perfect for the little guy. I love both of your Bramble Blooms tops, you did a beautiful job of relating the second one to the first in the series. How large are they? I need to add an additional border or two to both of mine to get them up to a useable size, hopefully later this summer.
