2018 Quilting Projects [View all]
I had to finish the embroidery quilt I made as a wedding gift to my granddaughter and her husband. I was hand quilting it last fall when decided to make Christmas stuff, so put the quilt away. After the New year, got the quilt out and finished quilting it. It is now ready to give to granddaughter. Found a lovely pair of vintage pillow cases with "His" and "Hers" embroidered on each pillow. perfect to go with the embroidery quilt. Think this may be my last hand quilting project, getting too hard on my fingers.
I started my first quilt of 2018. I am using a pattern that I like a lot; this is the fourth quilt I have made using this pattern. It is the old favorite, Drunkard's Path. I turn the pieces around so a circle is created in the block, I need 108 blocks and I have finished 98, so hope to get all the blocks done tonight. Then a few days squaring up the blocks and I will be ready to sew it together. Once it is sewn, I will take a pic and post it.
Stopped at the quilt shop last week and the machine quilting lady is caught up on her orders, so I want to have mine ready to quilt by the end of this week so I can leave it for her while she is not so busy.
