I made some progress on sewing the units for the new quilt.
I will make a bunch and then work out the color matching before I commit to some piecing.
I packed up the newborn hats when I cleaned off the knitting machine table;
girl colors (6) on one side and boys' (8) on the other;
I made three more to add to the count; remember when all baby things were green or yellow?
I will not take these to the hospital
until Thanksgiving time so I can make quite a few more by then!
I had to reload the Starry Splendor quilt since one orange cat kept laying on it
and popping the pins until I took it off and left it off!
Stinker.
I began the quilt stitching; I happily cruised through the top 12" in no time.
The simple double e's on the light background border and an outline on the piano keys.
I like to finish the row and then right it down AND take a picture
so I remember what I did by the time I get to the other end of the quilt!
Before I turned out the light in the studio, I had to cover the quilt now so it is cat proof
now that I have begun the actual stitching.
I am out of Contact paper which works great so this is better than nothing!
And last night I seamed up the hats-a very nice day all in all!
I love seeing your quilting up close. I never know what to do on a block. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteNice job on all the hats. The hospital will love them. Taking photos as a journal is a great idea.
ReplyDeleteYour hats look so wonderful. They will be put to great use
ReplyDeleteI think Mom's going to have a problem with Winnie sleeping in quilts-in-progress on the machine. It's not too bad right now since she's small... but once she's full grown...
ReplyDeletelooks like your quilts are very comfy to have a nap on:) and even though I am a girl - I wouldn't mind wearing the two "boys" hats at the top of the bundle!
ReplyDeleteThere’s something very pleasing about all of those hat colors in the box!
