WooHoo! No additions and another quilt top completed. I finally was able to complete the String Diamond quilt top. This was the second one I have done in the last couple of months. The border fabric was in the stash and I am sure it was bought on sale. Usually I buy big yardages when they are on sale for future projects. Now I just need to start up the quilting machine and get some quilting done, so I am able to count more fabric used.
I retired from working and teaching in a quilt shop three years ago. It has been a nice hiatus! In June I have agreed to start teaching again and I have to admit, I am rather excited about it. It is always so rewarding when people learn new things and they are so excited about it. It also serves to keep me learning. Now, I just need to remember not to take on too much. After all I am retired!!!! Right!! LOL
The Hummingbirds are back. I don't know how many are now coming but it must be a lot of them. Since I can see them out the window of my sewing room, I easily get distracted just watching them. I think I will also have to put up an Oriole feeder. One was sitting on the Hummingbird feeder and being rather noisy because he couldn't get anything. I think he was a little disgusted and he was letting me know!! LOL
This week I just have to go see the new "Star Trek" movie. Guess I will have to go by myself. I did get my daughters to see the last "new" Star Trek movie and they did enjoy it with all the new young actors in it. The original series came out when my husband and I were dating. Hubby would have to wait until after Star Trek to take me out on a Friday evening. What a hoot!! It is amazing how he has been patient enough to put up with me being a "Trekkie" but I have always been interested in new technologies. In fact, it is amazing that he was patient enough to wait until after the show was done to take me out at all!! Guess I was worth it!!! TeeHee
Hope everyone has a great day!!
Make sure you hop over to Patchwork Times and see what others are doing.

Oh my I sure do love your String Diamonds Beth!!! How striking!!! Great finish and wonderful use of your scraps - whoohoo!!! And congrats on going back to teach - there is no better way to keep your mind and talents fresh. And so many new quilters out there who are begging for someone to teach them how to do it right :*)
ReplyDeleteTeresa, I have to admit that I really like how the String Diamonds turned out. As the days get closer to teaching again, I am getting more excited but nervous as well. The "Leftovers" class and the club that will follow will be a new format for me.
DeleteYour String Diamond quilt is beautiful. I love how the black makes all the colors stand out so well. I have never done a string quilt with diamonds, but it's on my to do list now. Nice job.
ReplyDeleteDar, Thank you. The string quilt was fun to do. I am thinking about trying it with white strips and softer colors. It could be a fun summer look.
DeleteBeautiful work! Thanks for joining the festival.
ReplyDeleteThanks for looking!! There are so many string quilts and they are soooo addicting! LOL Want to make them all.
DeleteI've enjoyed the Festival of Strings so much that I've made a quilt top this week using my stash only! It's much simpler than your pretty quilt, but every one counts, right?
ReplyDeleteThank you checking out my Diamond Strings quilt. It was a blast to make. I like your string quilt and think I will need to make one and I need to keep clearing the strips and strings!! ;>)
