…but I’m picking up speed on the quilting front. I have three days to cross the finish line…but I better not get too cocky or this story will be a repeat of the children’s story ‘Tortoise and the Hare’ and we all know who won that race!! Not that I’m a fast mover like the Hare…and my motto has always been Slow and Steady Wins the Race!
The baby quilt is quilted and has the binding on…hopefully tonight I will stitch it down. It is a simple quilt but I LOVE the fabric. The Kit was called School Days…and no I don’t know who made it. (The girl in the Calico Horse booth at the Hemet QS didn’t know either). It sure reminds me of my childhood – the desks, chalkboards and the Maypole dancing…ah the good ol’days!
I got 12 of the little reindeer traced onto cream coloured tone on tone polka dot fabric. It is in a plastic tote for those sightseeing days when we need to travel in the truck. It’s surprising how fast stitching 20 minutes here and there adds up!! This is from the FREE Henry Glass pattern Magical Christmas which you can download from Fat Quarter Shop!!
And I have finished stitching Molly and Rylie onto my little Wool Crazy Quilt! This quilt is SO much fun to work on!
There they are…looks like we have interrupted their playtime, doesn’t it…
I think they were probably fighting over that ball…yup, they look guilty…
Have a thrilling Thursday and Happy Quilting!
All you stuff is so cute!
ReplyDeleteAnd i keep DROOLING over the Crazy Wool quilting!! I think i may have to break down and try it...
=-)
Did I disappear? Yup! I froze, was fogged and then sank into the mud! Ha ha!
ReplyDeleteWell I've been catching up on your newses and I'm going to put everything into this one comment, so if it doesn't make sense....well, it'll be just like usual!
Your wook quilt is a treat- its coming on beautifully, and seems like you're infecting, I mean inspiring others with the wool bug!Love Molly and Rylie! And the wools you bought are lovely colours, also the Civil War prints, also the Winter Wonderland pattern looks really 'gotta do it!'.
Your Little Patchwork Village blocks are darling, I think I'm going to find a similar pattern because just looking at them makes my needle itch! I am soooo not talking to you over all your garage sale loot, just NOT NOT fair! For the children piece of fabric I think I'd pencil or paint colour it in and use it whole- with borders- I know that's very boring but its so lovely it seems a shame to cut it up!
Our library has the previous Jinny Beyer book to that one and the librarians laugh at me I check it out so often, and I've found it so useful. That one is on my Christmas list!
And the cherry blosson and daffodil photos are lovely- another six weeks or so before they are out here yet...
You tired me out with all the quilting, lol.
ReplyDeleteLynette's new line is so fun, wait till you see the newest ones. I am doing the punches for those, to go with the new line of fabrics.

The pups are precious! It's my puppy's 6th birthday! He's featured in today's post in honor of his special day (even though he's a pain in the keester and drives me crazy with barking despite my best efforts to train it away - he's just too darned dominant. Those Germans!!!!).
