Lovely, Lovely

Here it is on my bed, my Batik Jewels quilt.  
Here's a bit of the back - it's so hard to get a decent picture of quilting on back of the quilt.
As I'm making the bed or just passing through the room, I'll notice each color block's different design. I didn't know realize when I was quilting it that these different designs would bring me so much joy. 
It was worth it to take the time to do each one differently.  


As for the Corned Beef I wanted on St. Patrick's Day, well, daughter wasn't cooking it so I was forced to go buy one myself. The briskets were on sale so I bought two. One for now and one for later.  
Oh...it was so good.
I trimmed all the fat from it and then cooked it with just a little 2x2 piece of fat and the spice packet that comes with it. 
I only cook my cabbage for about 10 to 15 minutes.  Everything was delicious!
 
Happy Stitching!
Nicey Linda

  6. Your quilt turned out amazing! Good Job Linda!!
    I did not eat corned beef on St. Patti's day - but I did manage to drink a beer after falling from the exhaustion of ripping out the plaster walls. Together, we had the complete St. Patti's meal. lol
    Cheers,
