(This was supposed to post Wednesday. It didn't so I'm catching up.) Last night was our quilt club meeting so I've tried to spend most of my time since coming home quilting veterans quilts. I quilted 4 and 2 of them are for other members. Betsy made this one. She has been very motivated lately making lots of veterans quilt tops. This was a great way to use string blocks. I quilted it with the star and ribbon pantograph with red thread. Red is Betsy's favorite color! Becky made this one. Some guy who loves hunting or nature is going to love this quilt. The pantograph for this one is Woven Wind. I think it fits well with the idea of blowing snow. These are the two of mine that got quilted. It's the first 2 of the 6 that I made last month. I'll photograph them once I get the binding done. I have one more to quilt and then I'll get back to the flower quilt. I'm out of quilt backing for the veterans quilts so I'm on a forced hiatus until I order and dye more backing fabric. I'll make myself finish the flower quilt before I get to quilt more veterans quilts. The veterans quilts are so satisfying!
Today is dyeing day and there's LOTS to do to catch up on orders. If I'm lucky I'll get some crochet in tonight.

I always like string quilts - I think because it addresses my memories of the quilts my grandmothers used to make using scraps. They didn't go to the fabric store back then and simply used what they had on hand or what they could scrounge from their neighbours and friends. Comments are closed.
