Happy Thursday from the Pacific NW!
Where we are helping with our year old grandson and sightseeing while the sunny weather holds.
We drove into West Seattle across the West Seattle Bridge, over the shipping port area to Harbor Ave. where the view looking across Elliot Bay, east, gives a great view of the city. The Cascade Mountains can be seen in the distance.
Then we drove north around the point to Alki Beach, where the warm sun was relaxing. We soaked up sun and looked west at the Olympic Mountains and watched container ships and all kinds of boats go by.
This week I finished my Tropical Triangle mini quilt.
I machine quilted and hand quilted it for the texture.
At the last minute I decided to sew on a pink batik binding instead of a blue batik. I think it adds to the tropical warm vibe, that's what I was going for.
Good idea, Linda and Julie, thanks for hosting. Make sure and stop by for inspiration.
Enjoy your day!!
Share a smile and help where you can, then you won't have to hunt for happiness.
I'll be by to visit.
The pink binding is more striking from the back than the front. The quilting is also more visible on the back. I would say your quilts always have a nice back - they really are reversible and you have two magnificent quilts in one!
ReplyDeleteKeep up the great work, Janie!
Thank you, Queenie.
ReplyDeleteYour WIPW project is looking good!
Queenie is so right - the backs of your quilts are just as fun as the fronts. Reminded me of when I took folk art classes years ago and the teacher telling us to always put something interesting on the back of our pieces to give people something to look at when they turn it over because it's inevitable that they will. She said they deserved to be rewarded for going to the effort of looking.
ReplyDeleteYour tropical triangles are stunning. I love the colorfulness!
ReplyDeleteLove your 'tropical triangles' - front & back! Thanks for sharing with 'sew stitch snap SHARE'
ReplyDeleteBeautiful color choices on your triangle quilt. The stitching looks great front and back. Always fun to see where you take the grandson. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI like the pink binding, it definitely helps with the warm, tropical feel, and the whole quilt has that lovely vibrant feel that your work usually achieves.
ReplyDeleteReally like your mini quilt -- hope to visit your blog more often now that I've added it to my reader list!
