I visited a show of mostly antique quilts at the Sanibel Museum and Village.
This one, in particular, is a fine example of hand quilting and applique.
Close ups of quilting and applique.
Quilts were displayed in most of the buildings at the Sanibel Museum and Village. The following were in “Miss Charlotte’s Tea Room.”

I pieced a lap size log cabin style quilt late last year in shades of brown, gray, black and cream. I just completed the quilting yesterday. I will show a complete view when I finish applying the binding, but the light was so good this morning I have to post a few preview shots.

The quilting looks like little penguins in a row in the one inch inner border!
I am taking this salad to Book Club luncheon today. It is simply peeled and sliced naval oranges, kiwi and star fruit doused with a simple sugar/crystallized ginger sauce.

I finished the “Bethlehem Star” for my DMIL just in time for Christmas. It was shipped on Monday, so I have hopes that it will arrive at her doorstep before Saturday, December 25.
View of quilting from the backing side of the quilt. The backing is a wavy stripe in slate blue.
All the white areas of the quilt are quilted with curling feathers. All the diamond shapes are quilted with continuous curve quilting.
