FEW AND FAR BETWEEN

Few and Far Between !


This is the first post of 2017. Our posts have certainly been few and far between. Harmony has been busy shoveling snow in Maine and I have been happy basking in the sunshine here in Florida. This last week has found me finishing up some UFO's. I have felt the need to have fairly clear agenda as I prepare to start a huge hand quilting project. I am finishing a quilt for a friend who is unable to complete her quilt. I hope to log many, many hours doing this for her.

I have completed the label and binding on a 10 Minute Block Quilt. The dark fabric is from the Downton Abbey Lord and Lady line and the light fabric is a shirting from the Downstairs collection. I pieced the quilt in the fall of 2015 and picked it up from the quilters in may of 2016. Here it is almost a year later and i am finally ready to mail it to my sister-in-law!

I also finished a Christmas 2016 present that will arrive in time for my son-in-law's 2017 birthday.
This is a panel that I cut apart and paired with black polka dot sashing. It is stippled and line quilted on my domestic machine. Since Harmony's husband is also a music teacher he will be using this as a wall hanging in his classroom. The jazzy cats seem really appropiate!

I added one more binding and label this week to a mystery quilt I did years ago. A picture will show up in a future post.  This is a quilt that I am keeping since the colors are perfect for my living room down here!

I inherited a longer table for my sewing machine and need to go finish setting up the room My guest room with sewing  nook definately looks like a sewing room with a guest nook now, but I am not complaining!

In stitches,
Pieceful
