Climbing Vines
This is 'Climbing Vines' taken from Thimbleberries guide for Weekend Quilters. My friend, Bren and I decided to do a quilt together in 2006. A weekend quilt sounded good to us. We shopped for material and then proceeded to cut it out. I am a camper so took mine along and did some work on it and just kept on going. Obviously it took a little longer than planned. The needle turn applique itself took lots of hours and I have tried several ways but my preference is using freezer paper and then turning it under with a toothpick or the needle itself. This is a quick pic so I could show it to my friend and let her see 'it is finally done'. Her's is still waiting in the wings to be finished. Quilting was done by Ann Hussey. I opted not to do it myself as I wanted to hang in our quilt show and felt stressed as the time was drawing near. Another UFO done!!!

It is stunning, Margo. Your blue background works so well, just beautiful.
Absolutely Gorgeous!! Ann did a great job quilting it too! Can't wait to see it 'hung' in the show!!
Beautiful quilt, great job. I also love your blog.
I really enjoyed seeing this quilt at the show. You did a good job getting the curves on the vines to flow so nicely. Like your fabric choices, too.
