I'm back from Vacationing in AZ! We had wonderful weather, in the mid 80's and sunny everyday. I'll tell you, you just can't beat it! Long walks and sunshine daily does a body good!
Anyway, now hold on to your hats... As promised I finished my Cherrywood Quilt and gave it to the recipient over vacation, my father!! It was a 75th birthday present for him and he loved it. I had to finish binding over vacation, but it was completed only a few days in.
Here is a picture of the birthday boy with his quilt!
There are more pictures posted here if you are interested in seeing close ups! I quilted it with Cherrywoods new dyed to match variegated thread from YLI. It quilted like a dream.
Of course, while in AZ I visited some of my favorite quilt shops and assisted in keeping the economy going. I will post some pictures of my takes. Also, found some great shoes too! So stayed tuned for more later this week.
Happy Quilting!!
Jackie

Your Cherrywoods turned out gorgeous! What a wonderful birthday gift. Very masculine.
Can't wait to visit all the places you went on vacation. :)
What a stunning quilt! I love the simplicity of it - it's stunning, simply stunning!
And now I can't stop playing with your cat!
Love it. Happy Birthday Dad.
Now get to the shoes so I can copycat you again.
Hi Jackie!
It sounds like you had an amazing vacation. Your dad looks very happy to have received such a stunning and thoughtful gift from you. I'll say it again, you do the most fabulous and inspiring quilt work. Take care.
Aloha,

That's a great quilt for a man! Happy Birthday to Dad. And he has the same tv unit that we have -- only we don't have the black wood option!
Oh Jackie! . . . it's so rich & elegant & beautiful! I'm sure your Dad will cherish it forever.
I'm so glad that you had a great time (& great weather!) while you were in Arizona. Today we are hitting 95 degrees. . . & I"m sure that Phoenix is a little warmer (hotter?) than that!
xo, Bren
