Today was a sew day. I haven't done much lately but I made some good progress.
First I cleaned up the sewing room a bit. Then I lined everything up. Not shown above are the two projected I focused on.
I made the back for the birdhouse quilt. Loaded the quilt and got about a third of it quilted
I also finished making the Brightly blocks. This is the final layout on the design bed. Looking at the picture I should probably move a few blocks around but I'm not going to do it. It's fine.
In the past couple of weeks I loaded, quilted and bound a few other quilt tops.
The above top came from one of Angela's estate sales. I think the back was with it. Soft homespun.
Remember this fabric? I tried to use it for one of the
Project Quilting challenges and didn't like the direction it was going. The 4-patches are still a little strong for the print but I like it much better. I love the soft flannel on the back. I bought 3 yards of the wide back flannel, I wish I had more. I think I have enough for one more small quilt.
This quilt was donated to Quilts 4 Kids (along with the birdhouse quilt above). It needed a few fixes before it could be quilted. The veggie cats are thick and stiff due to layers of Heat-n-bond. I was kinda worried about quilting it but it turned out okay.
I think I've mentioned before that I'm a night owl.
After deciding on the purple, one night about a week ago I started piecing this little wall hanging about 11 p.m. and finished it about 3 a.m. It's in line on the table, so hopefully it will be quilted before Halloween.
You have been busy! Love the vehie cat..
ReplyDeleteI simply cannot type on the phone...I am back on computer. LOVE the table cloth! I just love all things fall. The birdhouse quilt is so, so cute. I think Brightly looks great. I think it is one that you could work on layout forever and they would all look good. I love the quilting you did on the 4-patch quilt.
ReplyDeleteand as I tried to say from the phone, I love the vegie cat quilt...also the black cat.
Love your birdhouse quilt. Angela's Brightly will look wonderful with or without a small border. Thank you ofr the sweet comment on my blog.
