sao’s Quilty Report

Posted By on September 9, 2009

Guess I had better think about getting packed – I am going on a quilt retreat in the morning with the Colonial Piecemaker’s Quilt Guild in Williamsburg………ahhh…….peaceful sewing until Sunday. 

I have been UNSEWING my CELTIC KNOTWORK QUILT TOP most of the week……warning to PAM and anyone else doing this wonderful quilt……make sure the seams are exactly 1/4 ” because even being one or two threads off makes the whole thing wonky!!!!  Because of my auto accident I ended up using multiple sewing machines – BIG MISTAKE.  But I am proud of myself for keeping at it (I had a brief moment where I considered trashing the whole thing – I am not fond of UNSEWING)…..I will post a picture when it is finished.  If you want to see a finished Celtic Knotwork top – got to lynne’s fresh hope quilting – a link is on my blogroll!

 

BUT THERE IS GOOD NEWS……I finally finished my Bonnie K. Hunter DOUBLE DELIGHT QUILT TOP.  I just love it.

I HAD to include Sarah’s Zangies…..and thank you to everyone who gives me their fabric scraps.  Grandangel Sarah  is making ZANGIES (bookmarks) for her fourth grade store projects.   She does all of the sewing on her own.  I think they are so cute!

OK – so I guess this should be a surprise but I can’t wait – this is my Williamsburg WORDS INTO FABRIC CHALLENGE QUILT – quilted by the AWESOME Sara Parrish (She does GREAT WORK)  and I am proud to say that my embellishment coach, Catherine, did herself proud………I love her fence and button flower idea!  I am privileged to have a great quilter and my own embellishment coach as teammates!!!!!
