Stitching up a Storm

 

Making a bit more progress on my Field & Forest quilt.  I haven't had a lot of time to work on this and have just been passing through the studio and stitching up one or two blocks at a sitting.  Sometimes when waiting for the tea kettle to boil.  Sometimes to recover from mopping the floor.  Then a soft chair is an oasis and my quilt project a happy little respite. 

I am also finding it immensely satisfying to be able to use up a bunch of scraps, odds and ends and left-over jelly-roll strips.  The colors seem to go together in a weird sort of way.  The green ties everything together, I think.  Once I removed the blue blocks the colors worked better.  Funny, because it started out as a summer themed quilt (with the cool blues and greens), but then, was transformed into "fall".  I will have to do something else with the blue blocks now.  

These seams are just begging for some feather-stitching and fancy embellishment though, don't ya think?

But thanks for stopping by and thanks for the sweet comments on my blog.

*aren't the technical difficulties frustrating??*

LOL...Yes, they are frustrating, and I am guilty of not taking the time to stay on top of most of these "improvements". I didn't include my email address in the comment sign-in box; didn't seem to have to do this in the past just to reply. I will remember next time! :o)

This is lovely. I really like the embroidery, and the theme is one I've been exploring a little bit too, only in journal making. You are an inspiraton Vicki.
