I also quilted up this pink/green baby quilt she had made several years ago and wanted to get finished.
I spent the most time on this small table runner. It gave me lots of headaches because each of the leaves is loose, think prairie points and I had to really watch so they wouldn't snag. Plus there there extra layers there and I had a lot of problems with skipped stitches. I slowed down, changed needles, used sewers aid, but it was only in the thick spots it skipped, so I am sure that had something to do with it. I
Here's a close up of the quilting, yet it is hard to see. I used a yellow, orange, blue, green King Tut with a blue Bottomline.
I've also been working on putting together this quilt top since quilt retreat. It's really a fun quilt to sew because the seams match up so perfectly! I couldn't believe how easy it was to get them to match. It's using up scraps from a sample I made at the beginning of the year. I'll hopefully get it quilted this weekend as I plan to teach this class in the next quarter.
This is the last remaining pieces of the border print I used for the Farmyard Friends quilt. I made a little table topper that I quilted up last night. Now I just need to put binding on. I've got a lot of projects that just need binding finished, so that may need to be my March goal.
Last night I also quilted up this little table runner made with the leftover pieces from Briar Rose. I made a whole bunch of pieces wrong, so instead of throwing them away, I just made them into a table runner. This is squared up and the binding is cut, so I just need to put it on now.
It's been another very productive week and I feel great. I also am working on my ahhhh's 2 & 3 which are English Paper Pieced. I got them all prepped and basted at lunch today and now it's time to sew them together.
Find time to enjoy your passion and everything else will fall into place.
Wow~ Lots of quilty goodness going on! You are on a roll...
