Today I finished the quilting on this little table topper. It is the first time I have quilted swirls and they were much easier than I thought they would be.
There was even sunshine so I could get a great shot of it
I even got the binding sewn onto the front. I am trying a new, to me, way of doing the binding using a fancy stitch on the front. But that is a job for tomorrow.
I did re-dress Fred today. He is now wearing a navy middy in honor of my father who’s birthday is in April. When I bought it I looked all over for the white hat to go with it but never could find one. I’ll keep looking but today I realized that I don’t know how I would keep it on his head. Anyway, he has changed chairs and is now sitting on the rocking chair DH gave me as a Christmas gift.We have been having beautiful weather. I have spent quite a lot of time on the deck with a good book. And when it has been not so nice outside, I also have been playing with EQ and EQStitch. You know, retirement has been so much fun. In a couple of months it will be 7 years since I retired and I still marvel at how much I enjoy it.
Have a good rest of the week! Gari

Your table topper turned out beautifully, the quilting looks lovely.
We finally got a bit of nice weather, it's still a bit nippy to sit outside, but it's at least warming up so we don't need the winter coats.
Your quilt is gorgeous great job quilting.
I retired a bit over 6 years ago, and I also love it! However did we go to work?
