She loves her Word Search Books! We always look for ones we think she will enjoy when out and about. The Bible ones are now a favorite along with the Chicken Soup brand.
I was looking at a Mo Star Quilt Co. deal of the day and it was a Moda jelly roll called Weeds by Me & My Sister Designs. That was it! The reds, blacks and grays would work wonderfully so ordered it pronto!
Just kept the design simple and it worked up fast. DH decided to take a pic of me quilting!
Thinks I look humorous doing it!
Yes I need a haircut but toying with letting it grow out more....yeah till I get aggravated with it...hahaha!
Anyway had a small table sitting to side and front to help with bulk. Also kept the quilting simple, curving lines, so went quickly. Fully quilted to stand up to washings, not just outline. Found the perfect fabric for binding in my stash. So all good!
Washed up wonderfully! No bleed at all! Did put in some color catchers to be safe. Came out all soft and cuddly! I used a FusiBoo batting , one layer and was not too heavy. Love me some FusiBoo!
Aunt Dot called to say her package arrived an she loves it! That is what it is all about right??!!
Hope to get a pic with her and her gifts.
So on to next project! Yes that will include some Baby Olivia Grace items!!;-)
That turned out beautifully and I love the word search fabrics.

ReplyDeleteI saw you commented on my blog entry, but it didn't moderate correctly. Blogger's been wonky on comment moderation. Thanks for the feedback! Bug hugs from the West!
Love this quilt and those fabrics! Let's hope your aunt doesn't run out of books and starts working the quilt blocks!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed seeing how you work....I just bunch mine up....and it does go fast when you do a simple curve (meandering). Looks great!
ReplyDeleteYou are just a quilting machine!!! You forgot to add your shoulder in as on of your tools!!
