Finished Washed and on the Table

Finally finished. I got up early and decided it needed to get done. I had some hand quilting and then the binding. The basting is all gone and the markings washed out. I learned a couple things along the way. Learning is the key to mistakes. I learned by reading someone else's blog sorry can't remember who that I should have used a different batt. This person and I am sorry I can't give credit said to use a cotton batting and on top use a thin poly batt. Suppose to make the applique pop out more. In her blog it was evident it did. Mine kinda lays flat.

This is what it looks like on the Oak table and chairs in the dining area. I like it a lot. I have come across another design from an old crewel work book and think I will make one for the Spring time and I can change them as the weather changes.

This didn't cost me a dime. All was scraps and leftovers of other projects long done.
Only time and who has more than what I do as far as time. Ha! Kept me busy anyway. Chris

I was a good girl and got something finished

I really had a talking to myself this morning. I decided I had been neglect in my sewing and I had to many things in the works and nothing finished. I have so many things started and almost finished so something got finished today. The borders are on the top and it turned out looking pretty good.

This top was to be for a couch sized quilt. Well it fits the top of a queen sized bed as you can see in the picture. Now I have to get it sandwiched and pinned. Which that maybe on hold for a little while. I need to get the star quilt done that my grandmother pieced and it is pin basted already. I feel like I got something done worth while today. This was a lot of dicing and slicing to get all the blocks done for this quilt. Chris
