I finally got it quilted. :D #1. I had to practice free motion quilting. #2. I had that craft sale stuff to finish #3. My daughter wants one of these for her new room in a house at college. So, the CW quilt has been temporarily set aside so I can get this ready for DD. She leaves Thursday....

The blue/green around the outside is one of the most beautiful colors I've ever seen--but the camera won't capture it. :?

There's only enough blue/green left to do one binding, so I pulled the tree truck brown fabric--and Rachel loves that--so I'll get green, she gets brown. :D I'll bind them tomorrow.

I'm getting much more confident with my stippling. :D :D :D

I also sandwiched "tranquility" and two other UFOs--I'll quilt them tomorrow. :wink:

Then it's back to the CW for hubby. :D

Great job Karla. Love the colors in the tree of life. Very pretty. Hope you and your mini's stay warm tonight. See where your getting hit with more 'weather'.

Okay--I tried to get a close up of the outside border color--I'll see if this looks close....

Alaskan lady--I am very weary of dealing with the weather as far as the horses are concerned. If it was just me I had to worry about--it'd not be a big deal. Take this morning, for example: I got up at 5:15 am on a Saturday :shock: because I knew the waters in the barn would be frozen. Then I emptied four 70 lb tubes of traction sand in the pasture (heavy!!) so the horses would have a path to walk on--I worry about them slipping--borken legs and lost foals :( . I also spread three buckets of lime--it adheres to ice and creates traction. Then I shoveled--again. Plus I did all the usual--clean stalls, empty buckets, make stalls up, get hay down for the week. It took two hours. I ate a double serving of oatmeal when I came in. :D

Thanks Melissa. Maybe it was just a phase before--a hormonal one? :lol: I'm glad I got through it. :oops:

Oh YES--that's the color!! Try to visualize it on the photo above. :wink:
