I apologize for not blogging much recently, but there's just a lot of "stuff" going on. You know - a busy job, a busy life - and some extended family illnesses that have demanded trips to the east coast to try to work through care issues and legal issues..........
But - let's focus on quilts - that is much more fun !!!!
I have been making a Christmas quilt for my neice, Kelly, who has a lovely new house. I want it finished by December 1, so she can use it as part of her holiday decorating.......
(sorry for the glimpse into my messy sewing area - I need a bigger design wall - and a bigger room !!!)
This is kind of a kit - I just needed a design and fabric FAST - so ordered a kit from Missouri Star, and then did some swapping out to suit my own taste - added a few solids to calm down all the prints, and to make some areas for nice quilting...... I'm hoping to get the center all sewn together this weekend, or close - then just some nice borders... it's a good size for a couch quilt... near the Christmas tree, don't you think?I've also got TWO new linen quilts in progress - I'll be back soon with photos... they are going to be gorgeous, gorgeous !
happy weekend,
Kate
