KatyQuilts

I finished the quilt for the shelter and dropped it off for binding yesterday. While I was there, I picked up another one to quilt. Herd is the finished quilt.

And here is the next one.

Happy Saturday!

I finished the binding on my Bargello quilt and will share the whole thing tomorrow. I tried the Sharon Schamber binding method again and was quite pleased with how it turned out.

I also finished my curtain project for church.

Not much to look at, is it? LOL

And last night I went to the local guild meeting. I turned in my swap blocks and got the pattern for the next round due in January. I also picked up a twin sized quilt top, batting, and backing to quilt for the local shelter.

Isn’t it lovely? I hope to get this loaded and start quilting after work today.

Kathie at Inspired by Antique Quilts shared recently about this great mini template set.

Here is the bottom of my invoice showing the details and total with shipping.

They are designed to be used with 2.5 inch strips.

And now for my public service announcement. If you have a die cutter, be mindful how you pick up the dies themselves. The blades are sharp!

Yeah, I know, this doesn’t look bad. I thought I would save you the bloody shot. It is a clean cut but fairly deep. Just be careful. We don’t want blood on our fabric!

It appears I have gotten past the current posting bug. I’m still waiting on an update for my iOS update! Have a great day.

I not only chose the border for this quilt, I got it cut and sewn on! The step I usually procrastinate about!

I even got the binding made.

I normally blog from my ipad but WordPress is giving me fits today. It might be the latest ios update which has been really driving me nuts. I hope they get the bugs worked out soon!

Working on a fix…while linking up with Lee for WIP Wednesday.

I made some sewing progress yesterday but not as much as I would have liked. Do we ever? I got this top done except for borders:

If I add borders, I can get it up to twin size. This is what is currently needed at our local women’s shelter.

I also finished my blocks for the exchange.

And I worked on my Bargello quilt.

I started the quilting and quickly decided I didn’t like it. But I didn’t like this quilt enough to rip out the stitching and start again so I carried on. Blech. It’s okay. Just okay. Now I am trying to find a binding so I can call it done and put it away.

I also managed to get my laundry done, dinner made, and a bit of housekeeping taken care of.

Today I hope to get the little bargello beast bound before work. Linking up with Connie at Free Motion By the River for Linky Tuesday.
