I've been working on binding a couple of quilts. When we went to Minneapolis to visit, I took one of my quilts along. And-I forgot to get it into the car when we were ready to leave. We'll be back up again, but it's not going to get done as soon as I had hoped. Sigh
But, believe it or not, I have other projects that I can work on. I have 3 small quilts or table toppers that I need to quilt and bind. Guess I'll be working on those.
Sorry it's been so long since I have posted. Many things going on.
My husband had some surgery and I was playing nurse to that. We had grandkids visit in the middle of all of that. Which was wonderful to see them. But my routine has been thrown off. And it doesn't take much to throw me off the routine. LOL
So I'm starting over. I haven't been in the sewing room for weeks and it's time to get it back together. So today is going to be an organize for 15 minutes and then play for 15 minutes. Hopefully things will start to feel normal.
Summer is heading down the road to Autumn!
My nephew had a renewal of vows this past weekend. They got married last summer but many people were unable to come, so they had the renewal this summer for those of us unable to make it last year.
I finished a quilt for them. This was a sampler BOM through Hancock fabrics. I love the fabrics and I hope they enjoy the quilt also. The quilt was done, just needed to be quilted.
It was quilted by a friend who lives close. Some of these blocks were pretty tricky to make. Like I said, I hope they enjoy it.
I was looking at my sewing space and I have a couple of quilts that need binding and that need quilting. I guess I know what I need to work on for the rest of the month. I hope to have some pictures to show you soon! In the meantime, enjoy these pictures of some of the deer we have in our yard.
Did you see? Bonnie Hunter has a new Leader/Ender Challenge, Fish School. I have a bunch of bonus HSTs already sewn up just waiting to be used. This looks like the perfect project. They were all squared up and stored in my "special" container, the recycled lettuce package. LOL
The Dirty Dozen is starting up again at Country Threads. Here are the guidelines for the Dirty Dozen.
This year I'm going to work at quilt backings. I have a bunch of quilt tops (more than 12) hanging in the guest bedroom closet. So I pulled 12 of them and listed them out. My goal is to at least get the backing made for each. If I get some quilting done, great. But at least I will have a backing and it will be one more step closer to getting to the finish line. I have some backing pieces in my bins and some of the backings will be made of fabrics from the stash. Should be an interesting year.
This is my Number 3.
The pattern is called "Tulsa Town" by Villa Rosa Designs. It helped to thin out my drawer of 3.5 inch strips. I was lucky to get this shot as the wind was not helping me at all. I'm thinking I need a scrappy back for this one. We'll see what I come up with.
