I have been busy sewing and quilting this past week thanks to the weather being so cold and ice and snow.. I just stayed in and got many things done or moved farther along.
I quilted 2 charity quilts they need binding but found out that we needed couple more boy quilts and these were definitely girl quilts so they can wait for binding. will show pictures when they are done and ready to go to new home.
I finished the top of my grandson's quilt now to find or make a back and get it quilted.I have the binding so will pin it to the top so it does not get lost or used for something else.
Then I quilted a table runner that I have had done for awhile. I was going to teach english paper piecing to a group so made this as the sample but that did not happen so it just got set aside. Put is in the long arm and meandered all around the flowers then used a circle ruler to do the designs in the flowers. I had the binding clipped together setting on my cutting table for same length of time and kept wondering what it was for good thing I did not use it for anything else.
sorry picture is before binding. It is done.
I made and quilted a t-shirt quilt for a customer and it was picked up over the weekend. The side pieces were from the sleeves of the shirts.
Then decided not to put a border on the diamond tile block quilt from Bonnie Hunter's block and just quilt it and bind it. It is going to a special medical assistance in our doctor's office baby boy, she was so good and caring to my mother-in-law and to us. Baby is here and hope to take it to her next week and see the little guy.
In end of December I received a box in the mail and got a nice surprise. I opened the priority bos and found it stuffed full of scraps. One of the ladies that was on the quilting cruise the year before remembered I did small scrappy projects and sent it to me. It was great timing for a love box of fabric .Need to use some in my pineapple crazy blocks.
talking about them I made 2 blocks tonight while watching Bonnie Hunter on quilt cam. I just take a handful of neutral and handful of color fabric scraps on start making the blocks each block has 45 pieces using small pieces about 3/4 to inch wide little bigger for the corners. These are so fun I have about 30-35 of them done. I don't think mine will be a big quilt like Bonnie's but hope to get it to throw size by next winter for me to snuggle under.
Well I better close for the night and go to bed. Another sewing day tomorrow. Hope to get a customer quilt sewn together and make decided on for grandson's quilt. If I get more than that done it will be a bonus.
good night and happy quilting
