Intense Stitching


It's a bit brisk this morning.  I popped outside to see if the lilacs survived the frost - they did!  I can inhale their scent all day long.  I was able to get two t-shirt quilts completed yesterday to make my end of month dead-line for the quilter.  Why do I always wait until the last minute and make myself crazy?


One of the quilts I made was for a girl and I really liked the way it came out.  One thing I like about custom orders is that it allows me to use fabric I might not normally choose for myself.


This quilt used a combination of Charisma and Boutique from Chez Moi.  Very fun, bright, happy colors.


Now I have a little pile of binding awaiting the return of the quilts from my quilter friend, Mary.  I'm really looking forward to it.  I am one of those quilters who likes doing binding.  Nothing like a little hand stitching to calm the nerves and allow contemplation of one's life, not a bad thing at all.

Joyfully,
