And here is a close up of that lovely texture.
Don't you just want to touch it and curl up under it with a good book?
And here is the back showing the label
I love that binding with both the front and the back.
Now for the Face of the week - I found an old photo of me. This was in my late teens, I think.
I was a skinny guy back in the day, but I wasn't bad looking.
Happy Friday!
Until Next Time,
Stay Creative

The fabric is gorgeous. You were a young lad!
ReplyDeleteYour Stay at Home Round Robin turned out nicely and your binding choice is great. I know how hard it is to get the correct color and contrast in photos.
ReplyDeleteI love the texture your quilt has with all the stitching. It's beautiful Tom. And you were quite a handsome young guy. Happy April, and have a super weekend.
ReplyDeleteI absoutely love the texture a quilt has after washing. A long-arm quilter told me once that she didn't like a washed quilt. My brain couldn't process that statement. She must not use hers.
ReplyDeleteYou were skinny Lenny. That quilt is a true masterpiece.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the email on FFO. Seriously I had no idea it was Friday. Too much on my plate these days. Anyway, I love the quilt but this photo of you is just too awesome. I'm wondering where you lived in your late teens. I love this photo of you. Thank you for sharing with FFO and have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteCute pic of you!!! And great quilting, of course. Think you would "cry" seeing my grey weight blanket...
ReplyDelete...it was great back in the day to have hair!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely quilt and such an amazing quilted texture! Great photo of you too.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt and nice older photo.
ReplyDeleteGene, I LOVE that quilt. And you are right - fresh out of the dryer after its first wash is the best texture ever! Great job!
ReplyDeleteThe texture of the quilt is fantastic! But so much work - admirable. I love that photo of your younger self.
ReplyDeleteThe quilt turned out great! I love the soft crinkle. It's going to be a nice snuggle quilt.
ReplyDeleteI love the cowboy hat in the photo.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, dear Gene, you really did look very good, but you know, today you look happy. You've done everything right in life!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy to be stopping by again, because your quilts are a dream. Beautifully creative work with a lot of very good craftsmanship. And that's a craft that takes practice. I'm now on my third quilt, which I am "newbie," but I'm having great fun with it. Everything has its time, everything takes its course.
Thank you so much... snuggle up in your beautiful new piece.
P.S. I also do the binding by hand, it has to be done! Isn't it? Good craftsmanship requires the art.
Best wishes to you.
Thanks Viola
What a beautiful SAHRR, it belongs in a gallery! The laundered quilting texture is exactly what I like in a quilt.
ReplyDeleteLove the photo of your young, confident self. I've been reading your comments for a long time on Jeana's blog, so I thought I'd check you out. Got lost in your travelogue about Merida, so fun to read.
I love the photo of you and the quilt is lovely.
ReplyDeleteI'm so impressed with your beautiful quilting, Gene!
