Last Three Crinoline Ladies, & the Label

 The last three Crinoline Ladies now have their skirts blind-stitched into place, and the machine-embroidered label is done.  I still need to clip a few jump threads on the ladybug and sew the label to the quilt.  The square coral pieces and the pink and coral beads atop them were from an old broken bracelet of mine.  I thought Violet would think that was nifty, as she's a sentimental little dear.  I'll take pictures of the entire quilt after the label is on.

Last Row, Crinoline Ladies Quilt

 I've rolled the quilt forward to the final border, removed the Red Snappers, and finished all the quilting but part of the bottom row of 'I Wish You Well' blocks.

Central Panel Done, Crinoline Ladies

 The central panel of the Crinoline Ladies is done, along with the borders beside it.  Well, almost.  I still have the very bottom of the vase to do, but I needed to change thread, and I was clear out of oomph.  When merely changing thread seems like a daunting task, it's time to retire to the recliner for the evening!
