Spent most of this week quilting my Hearts Desire. Two more blocks to go, and then the border. I have stitched in the ditch and then stippled the background fabric. I can't get it to show up in the picture, the thread is the same exact color as the background. I haven't yet decided how I want to do the veins on the leaves. My first thought was couching, but that seems pretty labor intensive. I picked up some 12 wt cotton thread and I will experiment with that later today.
I won't be able to blog next Wednesday, we are heading to New York to celebrate my mom's 100th birthday! I will follow WOW and read all your blogs though. I really enjoy getting to "know" everyone who posts on Esther's blog.
Wow, your getting close to being finished. I'm still back to just starting the border work. Can't wait to see your whole quilt when your done with it. : )
