sunflower's growing

stitched in the center and attached the free floating leaf last night

cool!

I think I'll do little stippling quilting over the center to give it more texture -- when I quilt the whole piece

now it's on to another sunflower -- all flat this time



I'm working my way up the last aspen tree -- stitching about 3 inches then stuffing, then pinning another 3 inches -- tedious, but it is looking quite "tree like" -- it's always satisfying when something actually works the way you think it will

finished quilting all of the details around the center fish of the Hoffman piece -- now I'm doing the all over quilting -- echoing part of the background pattern in the challenge fabric

the Christmas sweater is 6.341% complete --- the bottom ribbing done and into the pattern

movin' along
