It's very apropos that we did Cucumber Vines this week for the Free Motion Quilt Along, because my cucumber vines are currently taking over my garden. I took a bunch of cucumbers and made pickles. (It was my first time canning pickles and it was surprisingly easy). Even after a double batch I still have a bunch of cucumbers, so if anyone wants some feel free to stop by. 
I don't like pickles, but my husband loves them, so making all of these should definitely get me points in the "you're such an amazing wife" category. :)
You did a great job! It is a struggle to travel stitch but I'm sure that will get easier with practice! I love that you can really see your stitching! Amazing how you get everything done with the demands of motherhood! -Jeanne
ReplyDeleteHey, Becky - that's some beautiful stitchin'! Those look like Leah's cucumber vines! CVs have now become my all time favorite.
ReplyDeleteAlso like the cukes from the garden! Good for you putting up pickles....
What a cool quilting pattern! I am also impressed by your actual cucumbers and pickles. Way to be an awesome wife!
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job. It lks wonderful on your quilt.
ReplyDeleteThat looks great!
ReplyDeleteI agree it was the hardest and most time consuming. It's a little to cutesie for me, but yours looks great. I actually like the look of tree roots much better. Plus, it was far easier to do. But hey, we all like different things, and that's what makes the world go round:D It really looks great on that blue, like they're gonna sprout into a bunch of hearts.
ReplyDeleteYour cucumber vines look great.. I agree taking the time around the corners is a bit difficult but well worth the time. It is funny that you don't like pickles but that your husband loves them.. that is how it is here too. I make dilly beans and those are my husbands favorite though I have never tried them they are always a huge hit.
