Lovely to chat - my goodness! it has been sooo long ago - oh well, I can blame it on the heat again. Let's hope today turns out to be a nice sewing day. I have a two quilts very close to a finish and a new start!
The above and below - a vintage quilt inspired by Rita of Red Pepper Quilts! Now something is not right - I have developed my own measurements as I want to do big-stitch quilting - yes, again! - there's not enough oomph! so I am going to throw in a few Liberties hoping to give it some zing.
Like this gorgeous Liberty that my Girlfriends! made for me when things were going rough - it is a bit of a hard act to follow, lol! As you can see binding is in progress and all being well I will exhibit in our QuiltWest in May. Awww! My baby Alice on her quilt - one of the very oldest I have.
Another binding in progress - and all being well it will go into the show, too. I have had such fun with every aspect of this quilt - hence the desire to big-stitch quilt. I'm not too sure about all the thickness where those Prairie Points go under the binding - it would be a bit sad to have to remove them.
