Finished Quilt...Great Day!!

I started this quilt in the winter of 2013/14.  It is hand pieced because I like handwork.  I finally quilted it on Phoebe a month or two ago.  I've been enjoying looking at it, but finally wanted it done. Well, here it is... 


I've just been calling it "Hexi Quilt".
62" x 60"

I love it!! it is so bright and cheery.  Love walking into a room and seeing it, it is so cheery!  I washed it and hung it on the line.  It is a perfect day for line drying a quilt, about 75 degrees and very dry still.  Maybe I'll call this my "Oh, Happy Day" quilt.😊

I'm also moving my studio into the cellar.  We installed a heating system down there a couple of weeks ago so that it will heat or dehumidify the area.  I love working down there, so I'm very happy.  I'm pretty tired from moving stuff, but I'm almost there,  
 
Also bought a new frame for Phoebe.  It is basically the same thing,  but I'll be able to adjust the height in years to come if I cannot work standing at it.  It's also a little longer so I can do a queen size quilt if I should choose to do so.  This frame also has a hard surface for quilting with pantographs.  Not really interested in using them, but I thought it would be convenient when pinning a quilt on the frame.  I haven't set it up yet.  This is not a finished space, but I don't care.  So looking forward to this summer down there.

Still counting my blessings,
