Last night, I really felt like I was approaching the groove again. I printed out some of the photos that relate to my grant quilts to bring with me on Saturday. I started quilting (!!!!) the apple dapple quilt and was super pleased with how it looks. I’m using a new-to-me thread that was sent by an on-line friend Bonnie. It’s a pastel varigated thread and goes from blue through yellow through pink through green. very nice. And nice to use.

I had made a physical note that I wanted to quilt small apple blossoms over the front of this quilt, perhaps with some leaves. I even remember checking what I remembered – that apple blossoms have five petals. So that’s what I’m doing – blossoms of various sizes and leaves as well. I’m thinking while I am quilting that I may do a more orderly orange peel sort of quilting design over the last couple rows of squares as a sort of border to contain all these flowers. So far I’ve done a bobbin’s worth of quilting and it’s looking GREAT.

Remember if you’re in town, come meet me at the Nassau Free Library 11/17/01 starting at 10 am.
