Another SEW SEW DAY July 7, 2011!
Posted By drsao on July 8, 2011
What a lot of fun……a whole day of creativity and sewing!! A SEW SEW DAY IN POWHATAN WITH CATHERINE.
I finished another mini-quilt which I named “ENJOY YOURSELF.” The little stamp on the front says “enjoy yourself, it is later than you think.” I made this top during a VCQ class on EMBELLISHMENT taught by Catherine. It sure was fun and I am happy with my mini-quilt!

Here is the back…….thanks to encouragement by Sara, I am now putting labels on most of my quilts!

You can’t see it very well becaues it is black – but at the top are two 3 1/2″ squares folded into a triangle and sewn into the binding…..so this can be hung on a plastic photgraph display frame – or you can put a wooden dowel into the triangle tabs and hang it on the wall.
Catherine GLAMMED UP
Catherine was glammed up for the day! I loved her necklace – such artistry (of course she made it!) I took a close up picture…..love the back closure!
I finished my JB TAKES A WIFE #1 Binding……and that made me happy. I thought about dancing on the table to celebrate – but decided a better idea would be just to stand on a chair for a picture!
JB Takes a Wife #1
If you are new to my blog I will tell you that this is a modification of Bonnie Hunter’s design “Jarad Takes A Wife.” The pattern is free at www.quiltville.com. Bonnie put sashing and cornerstones in hers but I decided that I liked the look for mine without it. This quilt is MEANINGFUL because it includes plaids from both of my parents’ shirts.
Here is the back.
