It's time for me to get crackin' on blogging if I'm going to have one! I'm proud to report I've been sewing/quilting a little each day - even if it's just 15 minutes of ironing. I even have a completed UFO! Now, reader beware - I've been working on old and I mean OLD UFOs since I joined
Stashbusters. These are going to be simpler quilts that may not appeal to the more artistic quilter. Like this one is at least 5 maybe 6 years old that I did as a shop sample and am just now getting the binding on. I've had it back from the Long Arm Quilter for probably 3 years! It's a
Turning Twenty that was done to showcase a line of
Jinny Beyer fabrics.
As this little guy LOVES to have his picture taken and was insistent I take a photo of him "eating my cookie" - I did! :-)
This is another shop sample made from an Amy Bradley pattern and Timeless Treasure fabric. I got the binding sewn on all the way around and realized I didn't have enough! Had to take it all off, do a semi-scrappy thing and sew it back on. That'll teach me to wait 3 years to complete a quilt! I put the label on before I had any idea what I would do with the quilt. My Goddaughter came down one weekend and said how much she loved it - SO I added a name, date, and will send it off this week.
In other news...I've decided a REALLY good idea is to cut and sew the binding as I'm cutting out my quilt. So, I found a bunch I hadn't done that way and took a little time to get them ready.
Psst: Also, please check out the super-awesome Birthday Gift I received from my Wonderful Friend Doris!
