This was finished on the Friday -but it took me until today to get it posted.
I really like the binding. I've always admired a stripe cut on the bias and this is the first time I've utilized that technique.
This is a great size for cuddling up with.
Hubby with his first quilt. |
I also have to show you Lynn's quilt. So different than than Hubby's as Lynn at Alamosa Quilter used colorful fabrics.
See, is this beautiful or what?
I especially like that she used round circles for the quilting to go along with the dots on her trees.
And she made a wall hanging - which is nice. (Sorry I can't get the picture larger. When I do it blurs out.)
Remember I found some Halloween fabric at the store - and just had to buy some? I
thought it would be so neat to have Halloween pillowcases. Here are the girls'
pillowcases. (The boys, have to wait - I was tired after making these.)
I let Violet and
Scarlett help sew on the machine. I think their favorite part was taking out
the pins. I even made Rosanna sew up hers. It was kind of easy - I just told DD to do it. (hehehe - it's fun to be the Mom.)
She said he enjoyed doing it, it
was relaxing.
You can't see in the picture - but the fabrics are Candy Corn, Pumpkins and Ghosts and Little Black Cats.
I also made myself a pillowcase.
And Hubby made himself one.
He did not want the little trim fabric. Imagine that, he has a mind of his own.
And what do you think happened right after I snapped these pictures? You are right!
Neptune got in the picture!
I think she wants this blog to be about her - not sewing.
Have fun sewing today,
Linda
I just love the Little Forest quilt! Great job!
