Seeing stars

 

My eyes are seeing stars. I am getting closer to having the I Wish I May quilt finished for my son. Since this photo was taken I have completed the quilt top and am now working on the borders. It would be wonderful to have this done by Christmas.

Getting There - Friday Night Sew In

I used my Friday Night Sew In to iron, trim and remove the paper from my half square triangles. They were the last squares I needed to complete before I can start putting together the quilt for my son. I am thrilled to have reached this point. It has been a long time working on this quilt and I think it deserves a finish soon. 

 

 

 

 

 

Bits and Pieces - Friday Night Sew In

 I spent my Friday Night Sew In working on the flying geese and half square triangles for my Botanical Park quilt. I also decided that it was time to get working on the sashing  for my son’s quilt. I had been using them as leaders and enders but it was time to get them finished so I could move on with the quilt. I didn’t get them all done but I am much further along.

Zigzag quilt

 

I finished the zigzag quilt for my sister’s friend three weeks ago. I am so fortunate to have had my daughter help me with the design and placement of fabrics. The zigzag design is one of my favourites. Once I got going it went together quickly but it was a slow start. My sister told me that it was a big hit at the baby shower which made me very happy.

Design Wall Monday - Pretty in Pink

 

 

My daughter is making me a quilt and she worked on it today. It is a similar pattern to one that she made a few years ago for herself. Most of the fabric came from a LQS who hosts a Christmas in July usually each year. They have bins of fabrics that you can stuff into bags and these fabrics came from ones that my daughter picked out from those bins. It is great to watch her progress and increased aptitude with quilting. I really like her design eye. She got most of the blocks done today. She is going to lay it out next and see if I want it bigger.  I am looking forward to getting to cuddle under this, hopefully soon.

Friday Night Sew In - Churn Dash and Stars

 I spent my Friday Night Sew In putting on and starting to hand sew the binding for my Churn Dash and Stars quilt. It has been a long term, work on it when I need a break from another quilt, quilt. I am happy that now it is coming to fruition.

Friday Night Sew In - Zig zag

Friday Night Sew In was spent organizing the zigzag quilt I am making for my sister’s friend. My daughter designed the quilt. I laid it out to see how much I have left to do. I did get the last rows done and now I am ready to sew it together.
