hello Monday!
you might remember this quilt….
I finally finished the hand sewing of the binding!
just really love this finish!
so now I can jump into the next project…although lately I have struggled to find my quilting grove…so instead of obsessing over it, I have decided to ride the wave…
I thought you might enjoy this….
the view off my Mom’s deck…I was there just a bit ago…I just love this view…guess you can’t take the Pacific Northwest out of me 🙂
Happy Sewing!
Hooray for finishes, Brooke! And your photo absolutely captures the PNW vibe. My dad was born and raised in Aberdeen, WA. He moved to Southern CA, which is “home” to me, but eventually John and I moved to rural Oregon, about 5 minutes from the Columbia River and 45 minutes from the coast. I think my dad would have been really pleased to see me here; in his later years he said he would have moved back to Aberdeen but that my mom would have missed the sunshine too much. 🙂
I think most of us just have a sense of home, from wherever we grow up. Mom was raised on a farm in Iowa, and when she and I took a driving trip it was a revelation to see how easily she identified every crop in every field, and delighted in how well they were doing at that point in the season.
Well, here I am–filling up your comments with my visiting. Once again…
Beautiful finish – love the quilting on it! Love the view off of your mom’s deck.
WOOHOO for your sweet finish. This is so pretty. Love the view from your moms. Have a wonderful week.
Congratulations on a beautiful finish. I hope you get your quilting groove back. Your Mom has a lovely view.
That was fun to see this post. I miss you, and love you so much. I finished the quilting on my “feather” quilting project and now am at the binding stage. ~Mom
