FINISH NUMBER 22

 I made bias binding yesterday and this morning I sewed it onto the Turquoise SLABs quilt.

It is done!

It is 69" by 86"

And there's a party on the back:

FINISH #13

 I found this little quilt in my bucket of UFOs.  I'm not sure who made it.  I know I didn't.  So, I'm going to assume that my sister Sue did.   It was quilted already, all it needed was binding.  So, I made some black bias binding and sewed it on.  So it's done.  That was easy!

It is finish #13 of the year.  It is called Pinwheels and is 35" by 35".  It will get donated.

FINISH NUMBER 11

 I finished sewing down the binding on this quilt from the Maria Shell Workshop Round and Round.  So it is done!

It's name is "Not Enough Zucchini", it's 64" by 81".

It is  finish number 11 for the year.

FINISH NUMBER TEN

 I made the bias binding and sewed it onto the previously quilted "Sing Your Song" baby quilt.

So it is complete!  

It is Finish #10 for the year.

This is a small quilt, 27" by 35" made from a small Charm Pack of only 24 5" squares interspersed with a dark grey Kona and quilted by computer on my B24 longarm.

FINISH #8 FOR THE YEAR

 Here's another little quilt I made from a charm pack called "Once Upon a Time".

I quilted a pantograph on it, made some binding and sewed it on and now it's finished.

Finish #8 Once Upon a Time, 32" by 40" with a white flannel backing.

JINNY'S QUILT IS DONE

I sewed the newly made binding onto the back, then pressed it to the side and top-stitched it down on the front.  This quilt is done.  I've been calling it Jinny's Beach Blanket.  Terri Nussbaum who came up with this quilt design called them "Beach Blanket Bingo".  I think this quilt deserves a better name.  But, I can't think of anything.  But, the fabrics I used that have the border prints on them are a Jinny Beyer fabric.  

So it's Jinny's quilt, it is 55" by 72".     

It is finish #18 for the year. 

COLOR STAR COMPLETED

 The Color Star quilt got it's binding finished today.  So, it's done, it's a finished quilt.

It began with a preprinted panel to which I added some more black to the top and bottom to make it rectangular instead of squarish.  Then it was simply a matter of adding a bunch of borders - trying not to make them ruffle.  I added those first five borders a while ago using fabrics that were 'go-withs' to the panel. At that time it measured 58" x 74". Then I set the top aside not sure how to quilt it.  When I got it out recently I decided to add another border to make it big enough for a twin sized bed and added that last black border.

It now measures 62" x 78"

This is finish #16 of the year.

BINDING READY

 I made the very long continuous bias binding I'll need for the Lagertha quilt from Kona Everglade today.  

The quilt is 91" x 93"  that's a 368 inch perimeter.  

I haven't finished the quilting yet.  I didn't get a chance to work on it today.  But tomorrow looks promising.

HUGS AND KISSES BOUND

 I made the binding for Hugs and Kisses.  Then I sewed it onto the back, pressed it and folded it over to the front and sewed it down.  

It's done.

It's a really nice quilt.  I hope I can find it a good home.

QUILTING PUZZLE BOX

 I downloaded a quilting pattern called 'Puzzle' this morning and made a label for the Puzzle Box quilt.  I went upstairs and inked the label.  Then I loaded the backing for it and loaded up the Puzzle Box quilt.  I'm quilting it with the new pattern which resembles  jigsaw puzzle pieces.  It's quilting very slowly however.

So, while Erik was slowly quilting away, I made the bias binding and sewed it onto the back of XXIII.

I got two passes done before it was time to go in.

After I sewed the binding onto the back, I folded the corners and clamped them down.  They'll be more willing to comply tomorrow when I sew the binding to the front.

GROOVE SESSION: PLAY

 It's time for Brave Patch's Groove Session with Sherri Lynn Wood this morning at 9am.

She gave us some prompts and we spent a pleasant half hour improv playing.

Here's mine:

Afterwards, I finally made the binding and sewed it onto Loretto.

It is done and ready for a new home.

I love how the backing turned out.

BINDING ON

 Okay, now my Wildflower quilt is really done.  I got the binding sewn on and everything!

ON THE GOOD SIDE

 I sewed the flange binding onto the back first, then flipped it over to the front and top stitched it down using the 10D 'stitch-in-the-ditch' foot on my Bernina.

BINDING IT

 I made the binding from the leftover 'focus fabric' and sewed it on and down today.

It's done!  I gotta say, the quilting is beautiful - very precise and even.  I love it!  Good job Erik.

BINDING ON FLOATING SQUARES

 Made the binding and got it on the Floating Squares quilt today.

Two quilts binded today!  Woohoo!

BINDING ON DAISY

 I got the binding on the Improv Daisy quilt.  It's done!

About this above photo: I was using the leftover white thread that was still on the bobbin after quilting Opening Night on the longarm.  This is the piece of thread that was still on the bobbin after I finished sewing down the binding here.  Talk about bobbin chicken!  I won!

BINDING ON OPENING NIGHT

 I sewed the binding onto Opening Night while Eduard quilted on the Floating Squares quilt.

Got them both done!

I gotta say, putting binding on a 90" by 90" quilt is a pain!  I really don't want to do that anymore.  

LOTS DONE

 I got those last two seams sewn to finish the backing for the Improv Daisy quilt.  Since I don't have a big enough batting for it (I have some ordered, it will be here in a week or so) I thought I'd find a small project to occupy me until I can get back to the Daisy.

I found the Layered Curves top all ready with a back and label and a small batting.

I got it loaded and quilted free-motion wavy lines horizontally across the whole thing.  

It only took a few hours and it was done.

I made binding, got it sewed on both sides and it was done!  Yoohoo!

It's about 35" by 46"

FIONA MAE DONE

 I named the recent Free Motion Challenge with Angela Walters 'Fiona Mae'.  I finished the quilting over the weekend and today I got the binding made and put on.  It's done!

BINDING BY HAND

 It's been a while since I've sewn a binding down by hand.  It's a long slightly painful job.

But, it's gotta be done - and soon.

Binding and a sleeve for my quilt, Covid 19: Shards.
