Well, it's been a crazy few weeks. Hurricanes, grades due, units to plan, quilt deadlines. I've had such a hard time keeping up with my own life; my heart completely goes out to our neighbors and neighboring states that are picking up the pieces of their homes and lives right now.
I did manage a few things...
The Purple Bunny Quilt is finished and mailed to Grace for her birthday! More pictures of the quilt are here.
I've finished quilting the colorful charity quilt! I added a few corners of yellow and all the red, green, and blue quilting recently. Totally missed the quilts for kids deadline, but I don't think the future recipient will mind :)
I'll be trying to bind this using a top-stiching method I talked over with a sweet woman at the Quilt Patch in Fairfax...I'm ever in search of the perfect binding method.
Then next up will be the t-shirt quilt that I restarted for UFO Sunday at the Free Motion Quilting Project. Finally, I'll have a quilt to snuggle up with--right in time for the cold weather.
Then it will be a Five Yard Quilt for Cynthia using these great fabrics. She wanted pink and floral...I think this will suit.
Linking up with WIP Wednesday after a long hiatus.
Your quilting on that charity quilt looks just fabulous! It's amazing how much practice makes a difference, isn't it? I'm on my third quilt with fmq after a very long hiatus, and I'm really starting to get comfortable (though still far from perfect). I may have to take a break from the charity quilts to finish up some for my family, but wow...good practice for a good cause - can't beat that! Hope to see you Sunday!
