I’m so excited, and I just can't hide it, (Pointer Sisters song in my head). This is day two of the “Dare To Dresden”, and I cannot be more excited about this. If I could dance a jig after knee surgery I would. Day one was most exciting to see all the different versions of Dresden that the participating blog hoppers have made. Blog Hopping lets you try things that you might not have ever tried before. Thank you Madame Samm and Christine of Quilt Monster Closet for hosting this most fabulous hop.
Now I am most proud of myself for being able to finish my Dresden wall hanging/table runner. As you know I am one of the leading experts on procrastination, but this time it was not my fault that I had knee surgery just when I was in the creative mood. Four days after the surgery, I hobbled down to my sewing room with the walker and put my foot to the peddle and worked on it for 4 days and completed it with binding and sleeve and even a label two days early. So here it is:
I had my stepson Deon to take it out side to take a picture in our first snow of the year. Below is a closer picture.
Check out the label. Wow, I completed, I mean really completed my first blog hop show. This is really the second, put this is the only quilt finish I have done for a hop. YAH!!!!
This is only the 3rd or 4th Dresden I have done, the first two was for the BOM with Crafty and if you want to see them just click here and here.
This is something, I am also working on as soon as I get back into the sewing room in Black and White.
Thank you for stopping by, and please visit the other hoppers today.
The Slow Quilter (Felicia)
Well, you get an A+ for the effort you put forth to finish your pledge to be in the challenge! Not many would have done that! Hope you heal well and can get back to sewing up a storm in no time flat!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Dresden and the colors are beautiful! Don't overdue, I mean stuff like cooking and cleaning, LOL!
ReplyDeletelove the colors of your yellow and black one (we have a lot of yellow and black at my house since my hubby's favorite football team is the Steelers!).
ReplyDeleteCONGRATULATIONS on a Fabulous Finish! What a wonderful project to showcase for our Blog hop! Thank you for participating... Hugs and Happy Hopping...
ReplyDeleteI love the colors and fabrics in your table runner. Yellow/gray/white is a favorite combination of mine. I am really looking forward to seeing the black blocks finished. May your knee soon be healed ... :) Pat
ReplyDeleteI really REALLY like this! Totally digging your color choices/fabric selections. Woman, you hit this one right out of the park. A home run!
ReplyDeleteLove your cheerful color choices! Great job on the Dresden and I hope your knee is healing quickly! Do those PT exercises every day!
ReplyDeleteThey are all very nice - love the colours of your quilt. Thanks for sharing and I hope your knee gets better soon.
ReplyDeleteFabulous Dresdens and you did so well to get finished with your knee - hope it's healing nicely and not giving you too much pain.

ReplyDeleteGreat dresdens! I love the colours you used
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing!
Felicia. Wow! I love the yellow and gray colors together. And you finished EVERYTHING all the way to the label! I'm impressed. Wishing you quick healing on your knee. I think using that foot pedal on your sewing machine is good physical therapy, right? I see you're in DC. I'm just "up the street" in Fairfax, VA. Blessings on you.
ReplyDeleteHow pretty - just love the yellow/gray setting! The black/white is a tease - can't wait to see this one together. Wonderful work for someone 'on the mend' - take care.
ReplyDeleteL-O-V-E the yellow and grey! It looks stunning!
ReplyDeleteLove your soft yellow runner! Hope you continue to mend... nothing like a sewing deadline to get us moving!
ReplyDeleteYour work is beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing with us today.
ReplyDeleteFantastic dresden! Love the black and yellow - great job!
ReplyDeleteOooh love the colors of your dresden, nice job!!!
ReplyDeleteOk, let/s celebrate Felicia..you are up and sooo worth the look, your dresdens are delightful..we dared you and in getting back on your feet..look what you accomplished..bravo
ReplyDeleteYour table runner is such a happy ray of sunshine...reminds me of a summer day sitting on the porch sipping iced tea. :) So happy for you that your knee is on the mend!
ReplyDeleteI hate to tell you, but you're going to lose your Queen title -- anyone who can go through surgery and still get done early with such a lovely project is NOT a very good procrastinator, lol. Beautiful runner!
ReplyDeleteYou crack me up! You are definitely not the top authority on procrastination:). I always chuckle when I see your blog name and think I should have chosen "The VERY Slow Quilter."
ReplyDeleteLovely stop on the hop, Felicia!
I think your amazing! Slow Quilter.....indeed.
ReplyDeleteWay to go, Felicia! Great job! (And I'm sending prayers that you heal quickly!)
ReplyDeleteYou did great Felicia! I really like the runner
ReplyDeleteYour quilt turned out well and I hope your surgery did, too. It's nice to have a goal to get you up and about after surgery. I love your label, too.
ReplyDeleteFelicia I'm amazed that you worked on this four days after knee surgery - you are wonderful! I love the way it turned out and I love the label. :) blessings, marlene

ReplyDeleteFantastic Dresdens! Beautiful table runner and I love how the black and white blocks are turning out! Thanks for participating and inspiring us!
ReplyDeleteI love the colors. They work together so well. I love the pictures taken in the snow. I used to live about 225 miles from Washington, DC. Now, I live in the middle of the country where many years we get very, very little snow. So, I miss the snow.
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking time to participate and inspiring the rest of us. Hope you do more hops, so we can enjoy your creativity.
First off I hope you and your knee are fine and on the mend. What a trooper to be sewing only after four days! Love your runner! Yellow and grey are two colors I've been wanting to work with. A runner is a great idea! You did a super job! Thanks for sharing with us!
