Hello there dear friends! Thought I'd pop in for this week's sew & tell and show you not one, but TWO projects! Are you impressed? Well, don't be. I only had a few lines to finish up on the quilting for the baby quilt. And I'm kind of digging it. And the second project isn't mine. But it's a beauty!
I decided to go for a straight line look that I've seen around. I stitched about a quarter inch on either side of each seam and I like how the squares got a framed effect doing this. Plus it's quite a bit easier for a beginner quilter like me than stippling. I decided not to show you the front until it's really finished. Oh the suspense!!
I've learned a few things too. I bought these handy clips (and then found some others too) to use to keep my quilt rolled up while I feed it through the machine.
This is what it looks like, all clipped up!
Second project: Remember my mom's New York Beauty? Well, my aunt Mary quilted it! My mother (my patron saint of saving my butt) is here (to save me from being alone with 2 toddlers and a newborn and an impending move) and brought it with her. We are having a binding party this week.
I still can't get over the colors in this quilt. And I love the backing. And the wide stripe she used for the border. And that my Aunt can freehand quilt and make it look like she uses a pattern AND a stitch regulator. I can't wait to show this to you all finished!!
So onto you guys!!
Oh wait, what? You wanted to see more pictures of the baby? Oh. Okay. I guess, if you insist.
Can't wait to see what you've been doing this week!
