I was good today, I made the bindings for two small quilts and got them finished at last. I'm working my way through the pile slowly but steadily. Four quilts bound in a week is pretty good going.
Then I finished the quilting on a small wholecloth, and washed it. It's drying on the rack now, hopefully it will be dry by tomorrow afternoon, when I leave to teach a workshop in the town where my DD lives. I'll be teaching 15 ladies how to mark and quilt their own little wholecloth quilts. Should be fun. I get to stay with DD, so we will have a nice get-together over the two days I'll be there.
And just when I thought I'd unearthed all my old projects, there's this.

I've just remembered another applique quilt I started, in red and green for a Christmas quilt; gak, wouldn't have a clue where that is. I obviously haven't reached the back of the cupboards yet....
You're really powering through the UFOs - good for you. I finished one then promptly started a new quilt! Hopeless.
ReplyDeleteThese are very pretty blocks, and the sashing fabric looks great with them. I really need to work on needleturn. I have been doing the freezerpaper and glue stick thing.
ReplyDeleteI dislike doing needleturn applique because it is so slow. I like the end result, & have used it for some things.
ReplyDeleteThat looks lovely quilting on the wholecloth. And that fabric does suit the applique.
4 bound in a week!! Wonderful...and I am not buying as many mags anymore either, once you can have such good stuff at your fingertips on the net, some of the mags look pretty stale...and don't interact! Tracey
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely blog you have. Love your quilts and so nice you and your twin have the same hobby.
ReplyDeleteMy twin sews vertical blinds so she is sick of sewing at home.
You twins were very naughty at school. We still got mixed up as they didn't know which name was which. I'll definately be back.
Oh have fun teaching the small whole cloth quilt and seeing your DD! I totally understand about the applique blokcs. I have some I started and love, but I just always seem to find something else to do!
