Christine and I got together tonight for an evening of sewing. I have had a really busy week and have been craving some machine time all week. We sewed for over 3 hours tonight --Christine worked on finishing off a leaf bowl as well as another quilt that she is making as a gift. She top stitched about 30 circles with blanket stitch on her sewing machine. (The thread was green so you can't really see the stitches in this photo.)
I kept working on my Blue Ridge Beauty quilt.
The end is in sight... I have one more row to sew together and attach to the rest of the quilt.
I should be able to finish this off in the morning. I have an idea for a pieced border for this quilt so I can use up my leftover strips from piecing the 120 blocks. I don't want to purchase any fabrics for this flimsy--I will have to get something for the backing though :-).
Look what arrived in the mail this week--I ordered them online with a gift card that I received for Christmas. More inspiration....sigh.....I need more sewing time...
It's amazing how soothing some machine piecing can be at the end of a long week! Glad you had some sewing time with Christine!
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful to have someone to sew with. Having that much in common is wonderful.
