WOW for September 7, 2011

This was a very busy week for me with so much to do to help my three children get ready for another school year.  I was able to focus on finishing a quilt that I started about a month ago for my sister’s birthday in October. I had completed the top and it was awaiting quilting. So Saturday I decided to do the quilting and Sunday finish it up with the binding and washing it. I used pearl cotton and my walking foot on this one and I really like the results.  I think this quilt has a very rustic feel and I know my sister will love it.

 
I also almost finished my final three embroidery blocks for peaceful pathways.  I still have to do the outline on one block and I need to go to the store today to get more embroidery floss.  Now I have to get all the HST done.
I’m also hoping to focus next week on finishing another quilt I had started for my nephew for his birthday and still have not finished it.  The problem with this quilt is I started it without knowing exactly what the finished product would look like and I have been struggling with it.  Wish me lots of inspiration.
Regards,
Lisa
