I have been working steadily since my last post…
Above is progress on the border and a bag I found to hold this precious quilt when done… my goal was to have it easily portable as the recipient is a busy lady! She is improptu and I wanted this quilt ready to see the world with her 🙂
Above you can see the label a bit…
Here is the label over half quilted now.. just the left and bottom borders left to stitch here…
Here is a corner… they were my favorites to stitch 🙂
And the last border to stitch was right here….
Finally the quilting was CoMPLETE!!!!
I could stitch on the binding… and in less that an hour I had stitched on all that binding from beginning to end…
This just leaves…
Yippee!!!!
Also this weekend I found I was a bit distracted as my son James turned 25 and here is his daughter and my granddaughter Kaydence..
The next quilt I will focus on is to replace her first quilt lost to a fire…
Also I got my desk calendar for 2016 🙂
It starts mid 2015 so I am starting to use it now…
Not sure if these are currently even available anymore but you can look for other Suzy Toronto designs.. I found this one on eBay searching “Toronto planner”… she also has calendars and cups.. but this is what I use to keep life somewhat traceable 🙂
Hope you are finding progress in your own life … as I continue to bind and look forward to gifting this beautiful memory quilt… I send a little sweet thought to each of you for a pleasant rest of your week!
