A Fabulous Finish

I finished the binding this morning.  I have been working a little each evening?  There are still a couple threads to be buried and attach a label.


I'm really happy with it.  It will go on my bed tonight for a test run.

Love Quilt

I started this quilt Saturday afternoon and finished it up this morning.

I feathered it.

Close ups for the feather lovers.


Texture magic.


On the double four patch I stitched down one side last night and am working on the second side tonight.  Every little bit helps.

Many of you have requested close up shots of the quilting.  Enjoy!








Stay tuned for more scrappy goodness.

Slow Sunday

This morning I sewed a large, really large backing for my double four patch top.  After struggling to get this finished I proceeded to load on my long arm.  Low and behold it's too big!!!  I'll have to beg on of my friends to use their long arm.  They have larger tables.

I slow stitched a few applique blocks and then later sewed some neutral strings.  Nine and it didn't tame the small bag I was trying to use up.

Here are the Dear Jane blocks.


And the nine string blocks.

It's a wonderful flimsy!

After ripping off the outer borders because the width was all wrong, I have re-cut and re-sewn them on.  Can you tell that I am pleased?


This will have lots of overhang on the bed.

Happy Stitching

My Double Four Patch

This is a top I have been working on for a couple months.  I wanted a light summery quilt.  





I'm pleased with it.  I think I will put a 2 inch dark border and then a 6 inch border of the white I have used in the quilt top.

Happy Birthday to me and a significant one at that.  Yikes how did I get this old?
