Saturday was National Quilting Day and I was lucky enough to get to go to Dad's house to drop off the kids for an overnight stay and found some time to quilt too. I made this t-shirt quilt for his wife and quilted it with a primary King Tut verigated thread.
The backing was an extra-wide gray swirls fabric and went with it really well. I'll bind it in a gray as well.
I started and almost finished this Hillside Charm quilt with tan minkee on the back. I promised Paul I would leave by 2 and I needed to pick up thread at the Sewing Center before 3, so I left it with 3 rows left to quilt. Turns out the Sewing Center closed at 2pm, but Chad and Tammy were still there, so I was able to get the thread.
The thread I needed was for Mathew's blanket. It's minkee on the top and luxe cuddle on the back. It's luscious to sleep under it.
He chose his favorite orange/read Luxe Cuddle.
The finished Hillside Charm quilt is going to a friend's friend to gift.
The kids got to spend the night with Grandpa and Grandma so we could attend the Construction Industry Awards Banquet. Paul's company won for a residential pool house they completed when he started with the company in July.
We do not get out often, but we clean up nicely.
The kids built the best tree fort. They are itching to go back and work on it some more.
