My daughter was out for her run and stopped to get a rock out of her shoe and found the first one...she did not look much but fount these! They are morel mushrooms. In Tennessee where I am from, they call them hickory chickens...but whatever you call them, I call them delicious.
***************
After much time spent trying to decide how to quilt this:
I finally settled on this. A leafy vine winding around all over the quilt. Deciding how to quilt a quilt is always my hardest decision. I had a couple other things I would have liked to try but since I have not been quilting very much, I was afraid to attempt them. Then once I started this, I felt it was perfect anyway. My quilting is still not perfect, but once it is washed, the mistakes won't be noticed too much.
I would say in less that two hours work, I will have the quilting finished, but I have not made the binding yet.
That is it for now...hope you are staying safe.
I love the the quilt pattern I have never tasted or even heard of a morel mushroom, so I learned something from your blog today. Hope you have a very Happy Easter.
ReplyDeleteThe quilting looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI have never ever seen these mushrooms growing wild! Your quilt is just lovely! I like everything about it. The soft colors, and the pattern.
ReplyDeleteWow, morel mushrooms already, love what you all call them in Tennessee.
ReplyDeleteI adore that leaf pattern.
Leaves are perfect. I know what you mean by a comfortable pattern, I think leaves are the easiest (although mine tend to look like hearts). Can't wait to see the finished quilt.
ReplyDeleteI've heard about morel mushrooms but never seen one (I don't think they grow here). They look quite intriguing!
ReplyDeleteI love your vine pattern you are quilting. It seems to fit in with the fabric pattern really well.
Keep stitching! Mxx
Your quilting is beautiful! Do you have a longarm machine for the quilting? I quilt on my sewing machine and do simple straight line quilting mainly. I'm not even good at free motion quilting. That quilting design is perfect for the quilt!
ReplyDeleteThis mushroom is new to me. Pretty quilt. Happy Easter.
ReplyDeleteHari OM
ReplyDeleteI am another who thinks your quilting choice is just fine! Foraged food is fun - though I don't eat mushrooms at all, but do like various leaves and nuts. YAM xx
The pastel colors for your quilt are terrific!
ReplyDeletePs...so, bow do you fry okra? I'd like to know. :-)
DeleteLOVE the colors, LOVE the print, LOVE THE PATTERN. we who are not quilters would never be able to find a mistake if we tried. all I see is tremendous talent... great job, I would be afraid to eat those mushrooms for fear they were not what I thought they were.... quite ugly to taste good. LOL
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is so pretty. YUM on the mushrooms. All this wet and weather will make them flourish - it's time!
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI have always looked for these mushrooms but never found them. Congrats to your daughter and YUM! Your quilt is so pretty, love the owls.
Wishing you a happy and blessed Easter!
I think I've seen those mushrooms before but didn't know they were edible. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteA chance discovery of morels is quite a good find.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for visiting my blog! Your quilt is lovely. I always wanted to try a morel. Not sure that they grow here in the mid-Atlantic.
ReplyDeleteI've never eaten those mushrooms but have heard great reviews about them. I love your quilting. It looks lovely. Great job. Happy Easter and stay safe.
ReplyDeleteI like the quilt pattern!!
ReplyDeleteNever ate those mushrooms and don't think I've ever seen them either.
The quilting is looking great. I love the pattern of the stitches. Does your sewing machine do this automatically? Or do you have to 'guide' it?
ReplyDeletelove the patterns of the morel mushrooms and what a great find...then your quilting splendid with the stylised birds and do I see a fox in the background...
ReplyDeletePs...will try okra one of these days (with cornmeal)
ReplyDeleteHi There, Hope you had a nice Easter --although I'm sure it was very different from most Easters... I missed being with my family... I missed going to church and hearing the gorgeous music. However, I made the most of the day by watching services on TV and listening to You Tube music all afternoon...
ReplyDeleteStay healthy and safe...
Hugs,
Betsy
Yummy yum on the Morels. And love the fuzzy owlets for the quilt.
ReplyDeleteHaven't seen you too much lately but I guess I'm not around much either.
Stay safe
