Speaking of quilting, I took Nancy's quilt off the frame last Friday and delivered it to her yesterday. She was nice enough to let me share it with you here.
Here's a picture of it outside on our bright green grass (a week ago it would have been brown, so I had to point out the color, even if you can't see much of it in the picture!).
And here's the back:
I have to show a few closeups of the front. They don't show up quite as nicely as the pics I took outside, but you'll get the idea:
She also made a wallhanging to go with the quilt:
I wish my photography skills were worthy of her work, because she did a fantastic job. I had so much fun quilting this - thanks, Nancy, for giving me the opportunity.
As for current projects, I have a few "in-between quilt" projects to get done while I wait for my backing fabric to arrive for the next one to go on the frame (it's going to be fun, too!). Last night I finished the serging work on school bags our church makes for UMCOR in Louisiana. I still have to press the handles on about 30 of them, and then they'll be ready to be passed on to others to do the final sewing.
Church bazaar is coming up soon, and I don't have a thing made to donate, so I'm going to work on some little projects for that. I haven't asked the designer for permission to sell them yet, but when I do and when I receive it, I'll post pictures to share. They're really cute.
We also have a friend who is battling Hodgkin's Lymphoma - it's been a long road to get her diagnosis, and they're incurring medical bills as they go along (they have insurance, but it doesn't pay everything), so a benefit is being held in a couple of weeks. I want to make something for the silent auction.
Wish me luck! I probably have more ideas than I have time. Hmmm, I haven't pulled an all-nighter in many, many years. Maybe now is the time?
Thanks for joining me in My Pieceful Corner,
Louise
