Good Morning Quilters! Today is Memorial Day and we honor those who fought and died for our freedom. I have deep respect and gratitude for all of them.
Five rows (out of a total of fifteen) are finished for the doll quilt I’m making to celebrate our country’s 250th anniversary. Sewing these hsts together is a fun project, as it grows a little bit each day. See last week’s post for more info.
Progress has also been made on the Jane Austen quilt, with much thanks to Amy, our “extra Grandaughter” who is staying with us for the summer. She helped me get the diamonds on the design wall in their proper order. Here is a picture of Amy in front of the design wall. It would have taken me twice as long to get these diamonds up there if I had to do it by myself. Adding the sashing is the next step, and that will take some time.
Isn’t she cute? She is from Bangladesh and is a nursing student at a local college. I have started adding sashing between the diamonds:
Also, a little progress on the Jane Stickle doll quilt #2. It looks wrinkled because it is, but I will press it flat when it’s finished. One of the four borders is finished, and 2 of the 36 blocks of the middle part. I really enjoy cross-stitching, and may have to start another project when this one is complete.
