Seeing Shore
















































































































































Wednesday morning I decided if I didn't stop taking down wallpaper (realtor's idea) and get caught up on my Row Along quilt, that I would get farther and farther behind.  So I cut everything out for the last two rows and decided that Thursday would be an all day sew-a-thon.  I sure wish I could've had you with me to keep me company.  Between school pick ups, it was all done around 6:30 pm.  To say that I love this quilt is an understatement.  I have learned so many new things about quilting.  A lot of it has been through my own errors, but isn't that how we learn?  Next week Lori will give us border instructions.  If you asked me which row is my favorite, I couldn't tell you because each row was my favorite as I sewed it.  I do have to say that I have a particular fondness for the flying geese row (second row down) because I despise making flying geese, so tedious and time consuming, but because of that - I love it!  Happy Friday, friends!

Hugs,

  3. It is really fabulous! I've been following along with Lori's blog, but never started on it. I'm really enjoying seeing all the versions, though. I'm even anxious to see how the borders look. Oh, and I would have really enjoyed a sew-in.

  4. Hi Sue! I guess because there is so many houses on the market, people don't want a "project" they would like a clean slate when they move in, beige, beige, beige. Sounds depressing to me! The one comment we keep getting is that everyone loves the house but doesn't like the wallpaper.

  12. I will be finishing up my quilt today, only having to sew a couple of rows together! I love it as well and have enjoyed the piecing which I never would have done had it not been for Lori's excellent instructions!
