So on Mother’s Day I did end up sewing all day 🙂 In fact, I worked on one of the charity quilts I brought home the day before. I started on the small one first, pinned and quilted it:
Here is a close up of the quilting (dont’ look too close!):
The binding was quick and easy, just trimmed and folder the backing and then used a decorative stitch to secure it:
One down, one more to go.
The quilt group buys a fabric pack each month from Keepsake Quilting, and this month was florals. I picked these two pieces on Saturday:
Pretty aren’t they…. not sure what to use them for, but they will come in handy one day I hope…!
I have also been washing and ironing fabric because the mice got into it at the old house. On the weekend I ironed a pile of purples:
Now to make space on the already full shelves…!
I can’t believe it is the middle of the week already. I woke up this morning with a very sore throat and blocked up nose. Yukky. Hopefully I’ll get over it soon because I am organizing a homeschool conference on the weekend… no cuddling cute babies, I’ll have to stay well away from them!
Hope you are all having a great week and don’t catch my cold!!!!
I LOVE those floral prints. It "sew" makes me want to get out my fabric and start another quilt. I love making quilts but it takes so long because I work so much.
I sure do hope you feel better and good luck this weekend!
You mean to tell me you have some purple fabrics left????even after our Purple Alice came and visited you??? You must of hid them–or I know she would of brought them all to VA with her!!!
Hugs, Di
Hee hee–I have a strip of that light purple floral that was in the pile from Keepsake Quilting. Dangerous website! You could just sew lots and then you wouldn't have to figure out where to store them.
Organizing a homeschool conference this weekend????!!!! Wow, you go girl!
