Show and Tell on Saturday Morning
The backing is pieced and the binding made, so this quilt is ready for its date with the machinist and there will be no trouble finishing before Whoever shows up!
My little batik stars runner is hanging there as a reminder that I need to make a sandwich and quilt it.
I'd love to be hand-quilting this project tomorrow night in front of "Call The Midwife!" and "Upstairs, Downstairs." You do watch those shows, don't you?
Comments
I watch those shows when the DVD comes out so I can watch for hours at a time!! I might be assuming something with MidWife but probably not.
I love your Mountain Trail with the purple stepping stones. Nice colors, it just sings to me. I didn't get creative with my color choices. Maybe that is why I have not had the motivation to get it sewn together. Yours has inspired me. I'm going to go sew!
Mountain Trail is wonderful! Seems to me its name might be Up the Down Staircase - or am I dating myself?
Happy sewing!
Unfortunately, I missed "Call the midwife". Hoping either for DVD on Netflix or a repeat!
As you know, my "standard issue" baby quilt is made of 30s repros in a traditional pattern -- usually 9-patches alternating with plain squares. Works up quickly in a size I can machine quilt myself and provides an old-fashioned look, like it's been handed down from a previous generation. I figure these aren't too "babyish" and can be used even into toddlerhood. If I ever have a young'un that's close to me, I might do something different, but, in any case, I know I'll end up making additional quilts as s/he grows.
