It’s been a beautiful day here in my part of paradise. So mild you could almost think it was Spring, instead of mid winter. I’ve spent some time outside today doing a little knitting.
My knitting is coming along well
Then it was time to hand stitch my quilt binding down, something I always enjoy. This is a cot size quilt, so didn’t take me too long. And here at last, Under the Sea quilt is finished. I started the stitchery blocks way back in 2010, so it was well overdue to become a finished quilt.
Under the Sea
Under the Sea was a free stitchery Block of the Month sew-along, by Willowberry Designs. I increased the size of each block, and certainly enjoyed stitching each one. The whimsical designs are highlighted with fabric pens. Once all the blocks were stitched, they all got packed away – goodness knows why! But the pretty little quilt is now finished, and I’m keeping it for a future great-grandchild perhaps.
I’m so pleased this pretty little quilt has now been completed, as it certainly deserved to be. It’s always a wonderful feeling to get another long winded UFO off the list!

The pretty blue yarn must be a joy to knit. Under the Sea is darling! Certainly it will be cherished one day.
Wow your quilt is beautiful so sweet.
This quilt is adorable. I love the fabric you used as sashing. It is perfect for the quilt. Your knitting is looking good. What a pretty blue yarn.
Under the Sea is a charming piece--nice that you got it all together; good work;)))

Very pretty quilt! I'm also saving some small quilts for future great grandchildren. Happy stitching!
that yarn is so pretty - does look like a sweater in progress
Congratulations on a wonderful finish!
Love Under the Sea! What a great finish and some future child is going to love it.
The yarn on your knitting project is beautiful, love the Under the Sea quilt its just adorable and will be a lovely gift.
Those under the sea blocks are so pretty and make a fabulous quilt. Great work Jenny on your finish it really is beautiful. The knitting looks good. I have some I need to get finished but it's just too hot to knit at the moment.
Pretty knitting project and adorable under the sea quilt. Great work!
❤️ the little quilt! Clever of you to add some birds to the sky on the whale block.
Wonderful to see the sea quilt finished... it's such a special quilt and I know it will go to a special home eventually! Enjoy your sweater making! Thanks for linking up to Slow Sunday Stitching!
Under the sea is so cute and it really must feel good to have it finished!
Wow, the Under the Sea quilt is lovely.
Your sweater is coming along very nicely.
God bless.
That does look like it was fun to stitch, Jenny! Such cute blocks and a nice finish!
A great finish for your lovely quilt. So pleased you decided on your quilting for the blocks!
Under the Sea turned out really gorgeous and it's great you are keeping it for future GGC after all your work....
The blue jumper is growing fast.
I am so very happy you have been having good reports for your checkups, Jenny. I know you are a good patient. :) Like you, I'm thankful every day for our free healthcare. It should never be taken for granted.
Meanwhile, glad you showed an up close photo of your embroidery...so pretty. A great quilt for a child for sure. It's so good you have Gemma there to assist with quilting.
Winter is definitely soup time though I smile a little thinking of your winter. You do indeed live in paradise, Jenny.
Congrats on the finished under the sea quilt! It is so pretty and will be loved.
What a sweet quilt, somebody is going to be so cozy all wrapped up in it. I like to think of my quilts as a way to hug the ones I love, especially when I'm not there.
Under the sea quilt is gorgeous. Isn't it great we have something we enjoy doing.
Woo Hoo! You got if finished. Your final choice of quilting worked well. Isn’t it lovely to sit outside and knit or stitch. How much more do you have to do on it?
Oh yes! Your Under the Sea turned out beautifully! It's such a pretty design. Interesting that you used fabric pens to color yours; I used Derwent Coloursoft pencils. Don't we love how coloring the fabric gives so much nice dimension to the designs? I guess I'm saving my quilt for a great-grandchild someday too. Actually, I think it will have to be a great-grandDAUGHTHER. I had finished my Under the Seat to give to a grandchild, and when all of them were boys, it didn't seem to be the appropriate gift. I'll forever hope to have a baby girl in the family.
