Eye candy.

Yesterday was a day of spending time in nature, walking listening to the birds and watching the fish in the stream. The babies, the teens and the adults. One even jumped out of the water to say "hi". The water was crystal clear and the pebbles could be seen from above. Spending that time just seeing the trees put on their spring coats, the leaves a soft beautiful Green. It reset the calm and relax button we all have, it works every time. We are blessed to live on this planet, earth.
Diane made this quilt and she asked Linda and Anna at The Sewing Cafe to longarm quilt it for her, they did an amazing job. It is a large quilt Queen/King? With an all over swirl design.
The buttercream colour really shows the design on the black border and adds more dimension to the overall design. She choose a monochromatic palette for the top.
 Her two stitched pieces, both Quakers arrived back from the framers.
The Halloween Quaker. 
The Christmas Quaker.

    It's a wonderful thing to get outside and enjoy all that nature gifts us, isn't it. My goodness, Diane's quilt is striking. Love that border and the quilting design sets the whole quilt off perfectly. So much beautiful work, too, in those hand stitched pretties. The detail in both is incredible.

    Love the quilting on that quilt. It is so pretty. The two Quaker cross-stitch pieces are wonderful. I may have to buy one of those patterns.
