This weekend was all about catching up on quilting and addressing postcards. I started with quilting 2 veterans quilts. One is this quilt made by Brenda. The second one is this quilt that is one of mine but it was pieced my my friend, Laura, on vacation this summer. I got it quilted and bound. Both of these are quilted with this all-over leaf motif. It's freehand so it was very fast to quilt. I also put a red scrappy binding on this veterans quilt. It's another that Laura pieced on vacation and I quilted it several days ago. I now have 2 more quilts ready to deliver to our veterans. Finally, I quilted this quilt for my friend, Kim. It's 80" square. She is going home to Alabama at the end of this week and wanted to take it home with her. I think the pattern is called Scrapbook but I can't find it anywhere on the web. I quilted it with white thread (as requested) and the Fluffy Clouds pantograph. It's a very quick and easy pantograph and it makes some lovely texture.
All in all, that was a pretty good weekend. The cards also got addressed and will be in the mail today. That means I can get the Sashiko machine out this week! My Christmas chores are almost all done.

The freehand leaf quilting looks great. I am wondering where Kim lives in Alabama

You accomplished a lot! I am feeling behind with only two weeks until Xmas. Oh well, what gets done gets done and what doesn't , doesn't.

You've certainly been busy quilting! Not to mention the time it took to address all those postcards too. Did you get time to sleep? Comments are closed.
