I have actually sewn two whole rows together of my final choice of patterns for my crumb quilt.
Here is a picture of the quilt squares just stuck up on my flannel wall.
I really like it! I was surprised that I lost about five inches across when I sewed the pieces together.
That will give me THREE quilts that need binding. I hope I get a binding urge pretty soon.
Thanks for all your comments on the turquoise/brown bindings. I think I may do a turquoise flange and brown binding. That should be real pretty on the bed.
And about the doggies: Sandy and Sasha
Remember the tossed-out puppies that came into our garage?
Well, the next two days it rained over two inches. I don't know if that had anything to do with it, but both puppies have not been seen since I snapped the picture. We have looked and looked and called and called.
Jerry goes out several times a day to look in their hiding place.
We pray that someone else has taken them in, but.... We live in the dangerous woods and the coyotes have been active. There are bob cats and owls and snakes and heaven-only-knows what else. I sure hope they are okay somewhere. We have plenty of food if they show up again.
Gotta get. Time to check on Mom, and Jerry will be home from fishing soon.
Hugs, Joy
So glad you chose that pattern. It looks beautiful. Can't wait to see the finished product. You mentioned you had several quilts to bind, that's the easiest part for me. I sit in front of the TV at night and do it by hand. I don't have a long arm, so the hardest part is the quilting for me. Once I get that done, it's all downhill from there. Still love doing all of it, just don't feel like I am as good at quilting as some I have seen. Sorry you can't find the puppies. We have people drop them off here also. I've gotten use to them staying for a while and then moving on. I wish people would learn to spay and neuter their animals and we wouldn't have that problem. Hope your mother is resting better, it makes it hard on all involved when they don't sleep well at the time they are suppose to. We are under a winter storm watch here tonight, how I wish Spring would come. Really sick of this horrible winter. It's been so cold here and making our electric bills out of sight. Spring is much prettier here in the mountains anyway. You have a wonderful week. Look forward to more postings and videos. Huggggggs.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the crumb quilt design. I have just about enough scraps to start one of these. What a great idea! I love making use of things that would usually be tossed out!
ReplyDeleteI love the quilt and how you have it arranged. I admire you for taking care of your MOM. My mom was bed ridden for one and a half years before she passed away at home. Thank God I had my two sisters so we could take turns. It wore us out and we there were three of us.
