Good Morning Quilters!
I’ve been sick with congestion and a sore throat, so this week has been a “stay at home and keep my germs to myself” kind of week. I have been busy in the quilt room though. The long term redwork quilt is now bound, and ready for a label. The quilting by Sue Daurio, was simple diamonds, in keeping with the style of old redwork quilts. I am very happy with how it turned out. It measures 93 inches square and I am so happy to have this long in process UFO completed.
I love the border.
I think I will leave it out for the Christmas holiday. For the label, I’m including the extra chickens block, which I made twice by mistake. It is a cute block, and attests to how long I worked on this quilt, off and on through the years. I had forgotten that I had previously embroidered it.
The Splendid Sampler is a quilt top now, shown here on our bed. Adding the extra blocks to the outside makes it the right size for our king bed. It is now ready for a long arm quilter. It’s a whopping 102” square. I am glad it is no longer a UFO. Progress rather than perfection.
What are you finishing or starting, or what have you put on hold until after the holidays? Please join our Design Wall Monday Linky Party below and talk to us.
This week I hope to get some Christmas decorations up. I should get some young children to help me - that is what is needed to get me excited about decorating. Do you have your home ready for the holidays?
