LFQG Sewing Day


Today was the annual summer sewing day for the London Friendship Quilter's Guild. I took along this charity quilt top all sandwiched and ready to quilt. I decided to quilt it organically with some orange thread. I added three lines of turquoise thread, just for fun as well.

The backing is black and white. I used white thread in the bobbin so the quilting does not show up on the back very well.


Tonight, I added red and yellow binding from scraps leftover from making this quilt.  Tomorrow, I will be doing the hand stitching on the binding for my Slow Sunday Stitching. 

I took these pictures in my back yard tonight. I like the texture of the quilting!  This quilt will be donated to my local hospital for an adult chemo patient. I hope it will brighten someone's day!

My husband and I went to the local farmer's market this morning and loaded up on fresh vegies and fruit. Tonight's dessert was delicious!
