About a month ago I finished my Promises and Borders quilt top this was a ten month stich along from Jenny of Elefantz. This was a wonderful project and her pattern is truly inspired. I posted a photo of it then and I felt like I needed to do a something more to it so I decided to add some needle turn applique inspired by the wonderful designs in the embroidery blocks. Last week I finished the entire additional applique. I’m so happy with the way it turned out and I cannot wait to quilt it. This will be the next top that I quilt maybe I will get it done before the end of the year. I will make sure and show you better overall photos after I quilt it.
Yesterday I put binding on the two additional charity quilt that I made for my quilt group. My friend Pat let me quilt them on her long arm it was my first time and wow was it harder than I thought it would be. I had a lot of fun and hope I will have the opportunity to work on one again. These quilts will be going to a great place that helps children in the first hours and days when they are taken away form an abusive home. Hopefully a quilt will be a little bit of comfort in such a traumatic time.
Finally I thought I would show you the Arial pillow that my daughter made. She is on Christmas break from school right now so she is trying to get a lot of unfinished projects done. I didn’t have the right size pillow form so I just used one that was too small so I could take a photo. I have ordered a nice feather/down form from Pottery Barn so it should look perfect when that comes.
Mary Christmas and God Bless,
