Almost there...

I'm so excited - I finished the quilting on the orange peel quilt!  I've only been working on this project since April, but it has felt very slow on the finishing side of things.


Binding is on, and finishing the hand stitching step of that will be my slow stitching project for today.


This week I also put some stitches into the Celebrate Fall embroidery, and moved the hoop to the lower area.  I'm ready to stitch some pumpkins!

    Such a beautiful quilt - I love the color you picked for the binding. Celebrate Fall is really coming along! Would you believe I'm still working on Hello Summer? LOL!

    I love seeing everyone’s fall stitching projects each week! Such pretty variegated thread you are using. Your orange peel quilt is close to the finish line. Will you hang this one on the wall? Gail at the cozy quilter

    The Orange Peel quilt is so pretty. Sow and steady progress gets you to a finish, though it's hard to be patient. Enjoy your slow stitching today.

    I've been browsing quilt history books -- the wide border for your orange peels reminds me of a 19th century quilt. Lovely job.
