Delightful Daisies Finished from Podunk Pretties

When I started this quilt 11 years ago, I never dreamed it would take this long to finish.

Way back then my mind saw this quilt as quilted to death with tons of feathers and swirls.

She's been pulled out many times over the years. Each time I would stare at her for a few days trying to come up with the perfect quilt it to death plan. And then back in storage she would go. My love for quilted to death quilts is still there, I just lost interest in doing all the hard work.

These days I ...

Juggling Quilting Projects Chaos from Podunk Pretties

The weather in Podunk has been absolutely beautiful the last couple of days. Sunny and 70 is perfect for opening the windows and doing a little spring cleaning. And that's exactly what I did for a couple of days. Then I was ready to get back in the Studio and play with some fun spring projects.

As you can see above the Delightful Daisies quilt binding is almost finished. All that is left to do is hand stitch it to the back of the quilt. Getting to this point was not easy due to juggling multiple projects and every ...

The only free motion quilting is the stems and leaves of the large daisies.

Loaded, Labeled and Loved! from Podunk Pretties

Hi Quilty Friends! I did it! She's on the frame and ready to be quilted. After 11 yrs this gal is really going to be quilted. SQUEAL! This quilt has been pulled out of storage so many times over the years. I would do the quilt stare for days, searching my brain for just the right quilting plan. Then back in storage she would go. What changed? Well, it's simple. I no longer feel the need to quilt a quilt to death. Just getting it done is good enough.

I'm sure I've mentioned this a few ...

Delightful Daisies Quilt from Podunk Pretties

Hey Quilty Friends! Guess what time it is? Springtime! The weather here in Podunk for the last few days has felt like Spring with a whopping 60 degrees yesterday. Today and tomorrow are supposed be about the same. Since spring is in the air, I thought it would be good time to quilt my Delightful Daisies quilt. It's been hanging out waiting on me for 11 years!

Did you catch my piecing mistake? To me the mistake is very noticeable but I've had people tell me they didn't see it until I told them. The bottom petal ...
