Christine and I continue to get together most weeks to spend an evening sewing. This past week, I had 3 goals for our evening together. The first goal was to complete the center of my quilt--I just had one more row of blocks to put together and add to the rest of the quilt top. As you can see, I finished this goal!
My second goal was to complete the 12 triangle sections for the corners of the quilt borders... Ta Da! I got that one done too!
My 3rd goal for the evening was to finish sewing the binding on my "Creamsicles By the Sea" (aka "Carolina Christmas"--another mystery quilt designed by Bonnie Hunter at Quiltville) so that I could take it to the London Friendship Quilters' Guild Meeting the next evening for show and tell. I finished that goal off too!
You can see some of the beautiful quilting by Karen Cole in these pictures.
I put this quilt on my bed!
Christine made great progress on her RRCB quilt too. She got the top trimmed up and the green borders added.
The borders really frame the centre of this quilt nicely. I can hardly wait to get the borders on my quilt and get it to Karen to have it quilted!
I spent another evening at Jacqui's last week when 5 of us got together to make another 27 pillowcases for our local Christmas Hamper program. I hope the children who receive these pillowcases have sweet dreams!
The pillowcases were delivered by one of the sewers to the Inn Out of the Cold and Christmas Care last week.
I am making slow but steady progress getting ready for Christmas. The tree is up and decorated and I made this planter for my front porch.
Still lots to do including more gifts to make. Less than two weeks until the big day. I need to get a move on!
You are making a ton of progress on your projects...way to go!
