Sneaking in with a finish!

Just getting this finish done in time for ALYOF for July.  I had posted it as my goal here, so I won't go into detail other than to say I had a lot of starts and stops which means tying and burying threads, But it was necessary in order to obtain my goal. I stitched around each leaf and circle. I gave the border a special treatment by using my Deloa Jones cable template.  Glide thread and Hobbs 80/20




I see a lot of people were successful in completing their goals, check them out for great inspiration!

And just for fun, this is where I went today...


Oh so crazy, but oh so fun!!!  SR Harris in Brooklyn Park, MN.  These 2 rows are all Batik's plus there was one more. Then many, many rows of cottons, and of course I always want the one on the bottom, LOL  Then there are flannel rows, wool rows, silky and fancy fabrics, it is just something to see if you are ever in that area!!  Plan to spend a few hours, oh and you cut and mark it all yourself unless you are buying more than 5 yds of one piece. Then you put it all back too!  You work for it a little but so worth it as it is quilt shop fabrics for 1/2 the price, so $6-6.50 for cottons and $7.50 for batik's.
Did I buy anything you ask...well yes of course I did, haha!  Didn't get a pic of that yet though.

    Wow! Your quilting really does make it look like appliqué. Great job. And I'm a little jealous of your shopping experience.
