Happy Day, Friends!
We had a rainy Memorial
Day weekend. We still did our shopping at the local farmer’s market, and I baked
some sour cream cookies. Unfortunately, we were unable to take a hike at the
Biltmore. We will try again next weekend.
I was able to finish binding two of nine quilts. Both quilts
have bindings attached to the front by machine and then I hand stitched them to
the back.
The photos were taken
inside because it is still raining here.
The first finish was my
hubby’s “Dad” t-shirt quilt.
58.5" x 72"
My long-armer suggested a simple meander since I added the pocket from one of the special shirts.
I found swirly wide back
fabric at a small quilt shop in Maggie Valley.
Quilt #2 is what I call my $5.00 quilt. It was a Saturday Sampler project at the local quilt shop when I lived in Florida. You pay $5.00 the first month to get a block pattern and the fabric to make it. If you returned the finished block at the next meeting, then you received the next block pattern and fabric at no additional cost. I purchased the border fabric separately so technically, it cost a little more than $5.00.
52" x 65"
We selected a floral swirl design. I do not know the proper name of it.
The gray(ish) backing fabric is from my stash.
These two quilts are all I have to share from the weekend…only seven more to go!
I’m joining Jennifer at The
Inquiring Quilter for Wednesday Wait Loss.
And I'm also joining Alycia at Finish (Or not) Friday!
See you soon,
The quilts look good. I like the quilting pattern you chose for the $5 quilt
ReplyDeleteThese are amazing. I love your talent.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Linda. I enjoy the piecing but do not (yet) have the skills for the actual quilting.
DeleteSo happy for you that two are all done! Did you gift it to your hubby right away?
ReplyDeletePerfect Finishes!!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat finishes! Nice way to spend a rainy weekend. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.

You are making your way through the stack - yay! I like that Dad quilt, especially the pocket, and the swirly backing is perfect. Hope you get to go on your hike!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful finishes, Jeanna! You chose some nice backings as well as quilt patterns that really enhance the quilt!
ReplyDeleteEvery quilt finish is a celebration! These two look great. I bet your husband loves his Dad quilt! And I love your labels - where did you find them?
ReplyDeleteTwo lovely finishes - I hope 'Dad' is suitably impressed with his quilt! xx
ReplyDeleteMmm sour cream cookies sound yummy. Sorry to hear that the rain postponed your hike. I hope you enjoy it this weekend. Love your t-shirt quilt. So many warm memories wrapped into it.
ReplyDeleteTwo wonderful finishes. . well done! I always liked binding because I would look back on the process and the memories I made making the quilt before gifting it.
ReplyDeleteLove your label! 2 out of 9 is good going. I dont mind the hand sewing of binding - it can be quite relaxing - good job for a TV session.
