I also finished Betsy's House!

GAST called for
Not sure why the color is a bit weird in the grass there. Anyway, it was a fun stitch, and just the perfect size to get going on making those little x's again.
The two friends have been having a good time. Here's Mia taking a break while playing with her favorite toy with the boy child.
And of course Mia's favorite position (not!):
I'm so happy -- Wimbledon has started!!!! Hooray!
Thanks as always for stopping by and saying hi. I hope everyone has a great week!

Congratulations on your two finishes! Of course Hex is the bigger accomplishment with the amount of work that's gone into it - amazing! I like the Betsey design too - Paulette has done such wonderful designs lately!
Enjoy watching Wimbleton!
The colors in this quilt truly do look beachy! Beautiful! Love all of the flags in Betsy's House! Missed this design somehow. :) I see Mia has a feather wand - one of our cats loves hers and another one is terrified of it. :) Cute pictures as always! Enjoy Wimbledon!

Oh Margaret, Congrats on finishing Hex on the Beach quilt top. It's spectacular. How in the world do you match a backing for it? Do you only use a rectangle for the back and let the sides of the hex's alone? Love Betsy's House is wonderful. Boy you stitch fast and beautifully.
love Annette
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous quilt!! Love the sweet stitch too!!
I am quite happy that Wimbledon has finally started too! Looking forward to some great tennis!! Have a wonderful week!

Woah!!
That crazy and crazy-beautiful hex top is done! I'm excited to see what you'll do with the borders.
Also, not big on patriotic designs but this one is awesome! Paulette's people make the difference, I think.
Also, I love that shot of mia on your bed quilt! Both look so beautiful and striking
Amazing!!!! Well done Margaret! What a splendid quilt! I think this has got to be one of my favourite quilt patterns I have seen yet. Great little finish on the PPS. I love Paulette's designs! Give Mia a snuggle for me!!
You finished two absolute beauties here. Hex on the Beach is just gorgeous. Is there a pattern somewhere in a book?
Oh Margaret, your quilt is stunning!
