Bright Colorwash 2.....portrait.... I finished the binding and label on Bright Colorwash 2 yesterday morning.  I ditch quilted this one in both directions.  I had meandered the last one and wanted to see how it looked with ditch quilting.  Both ways worked well. I had 2 other labels to sew on and 1 hanging sleeve to sew down on the bottom edge.  Then I worked on rolling the quilts and putting them in boxes to ship.  When I got to the last box of the small stuff and hanging rods, I remembered I still had 3 mug rugs to quilt and bind.  I needed to wait until today to mail the packages so they will arrive on the right day when someone is home to take them in.
This morning I am doing a private computer class and then I will go to the post office and run my errands.  Then I can go down to the basement and cut the triangles from the Philip Jacobs fabrics that I pressed on Tuesday.  I might even sit down and read for awhile.

I always love your colorwash quilts. I do hope you get that chance to relax some today.

you are one busy lady :) love the color wash -

Oh No! Not sit down! What will your chair think? You sure you can't read standing up or walking around?????????

btw.....I like that ditch stitching in both directions. I always think DS gets a bad name.

You have worked hard and deserve a wee break. Have a cup of tea and put your feet up with that book. How big are the finished squares in the colorwash? It is magnifico!

More beautiful finishes! Gosh, you get a lot done!

Such lovely work, Wanda. I love starting my day with your eye candy.

Love the color wash quilt. Beautiful as usual.

January 25, 2013 at 10:08 AM 
You continually amaze me, Wanda! It seems to me that each colorwash you make is more beautiful than the last, but then when I go back and look - the last was more beautiful. I cannot decide! I'm cutting batiks for another one for myself this time. And while I'm at it, I'm cutting four sets - one each for two friends and a spare for me. That is a LOT of pressing and cutting!!! Like I said, you amaze me.

It feels good to sit down and read every now and then!

January 25, 2013 at 3:36 PM 
I would say that you DESERVE some time to sit down and read!!!
 
I love this piece. Looks like the sun is shining through.

The colourwash quilt is stunning. That's the only word for it.
I hope you were able to relax once you got everything mailed.

Every time I see your wonderful color wash creations. I need to get mine out my kit and get it started ! This one is so very pretty and I love the ditch quilted finish.

The charm of your mug rugs always makes me smile. Each one is packed with your 'exuberant' fabrics.
