I finished the borders on my Galaxy quilt. It will be stashed in the closet as soon as I get the backing made. I keep dithering about the type of quilting I'd like to do on it. Who knows what I'll decide. I've got other things to quilt before I get to it. (This photo just happened to be perfectly placed in front of a hutch at Dorothy's house... it wasn't planned at all!)
I did work on a little dress for Natalie. I need to get it done so it can be in the mail in time for her birthday. Just a few things left to do.
Goals got accomplished for this week . . . at least most of them. Here's how I did.

We woke up to a sad sight Saturday morning. This is the huge red bud that is shown in my header picture. We are guessing that the heavy rain and wind we've been getting in the evenings caused it to crack. Well, that and the decayed part! We're sorry to see it go, but it will be coming down. It has been a wonderful mass of blossoms every spring. I'm sorry to see it go.
I'm linking up with Making Monday, Design Wall Monday and Main Crush Monday.
Happy Quilting All! 
Your Galaxy quilt is just lovely! Congratulations on finishing the quilt top! Sometimes it's good to set it aside and think about quilting options for awhile before diving right in. And I'm so sorry for the loss of your tree -- you just can't replace something like that.
ReplyDeleteNice quilt! So sorry about the tree. Very disappointing.
ReplyDeleteI love Galaxy. The colours you chose are gorgeous. I'm so sorry about your tree. It's such a shame when you lose a major fixture like that in your garden
ReplyDeleteIt's always sad when a tree dies. They leave a large hole in the sky when them come down.
ReplyDeleteTemperatures have been very cool here the last three days, and I love it. Last night's' concert in the park found the audience in parkas and blankets.
Sorry about the redbud -- one of my favorite trees. Thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting. Hand quilting a quilt is 10 times easier for me than machine quilting, so that is not a problem. Besides, I need something to do while all those baseball games are on TV!! Sally
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous quilt, I love the colours! Sorry to hear you got rained on at your 4th of July celebrations. Being rained on is something I'm used to as I live in England!
ReplyDeleteGalaxy Stars turned out beautifully. Sorry about the red bud tree, it certainly was gorgeous in the spring. Hopefully you've had some dryer weather since the 4th.
