Movin' Right Along

The seam ripper and I have been good friends as of late.  As I mentioned before, Jenny Wren's Strawberry quilt had to have her backing removed and replaced.  A polyester problem.  Not for me.  For her.   Being the spectacular loving  mom that I am, I promptly ripped out the old quilting and replaced the back with cotton.  'Cause I'm a good mom like that.  Once that was done, things started moving right along.

Here's where we stood at the beginning of this week:

 

 

 

Quilting in progress.

Here's where we stand now:

 

Quilted and ready for binding.

She's all quilted, trimmed up and ready to be labeled and bound.  I think I will take Kelly's suggestion and use a pretty green binding on her.   I chose to totally hand quilt this one.  I am smitten with the trend of large stitch quilting using Perle cotton in colors to match and co-ordinate with the quilt.  I have to "fine tune" my stitching, but all in all I think it turned out ok.  And. . . . I pray she likes it.

I have Kellifer's Strawberry top pieced together. Hers is next on the quilting board.  Can't wait.

 (Pay no mind to the pizza in the corner.  Itty Bitty "made me lunch"!)

I have also been scouting for the balance of Rag 4's cast.  I've had some auditions, but no keepers. 

Much to do.

Sew until next time,
