More Progress

The weather was so dreary yesterday. I went to my shop and spent most of the day there.

It was time well spent and I got a lot done. I got my swap quilt trimmed and got the binding made.

Photography was a challenge because of the overcast weather. 

I used the leftover backing fabric for the binding.

I love the back, but I started sewing the binding on, and now I think it may be a little over-powering for the front. I decided not to overthink it and just keep going, but I wasn’t able to get it finished. Soon I hope. 

I got some of this product Linda recommended, and I will work on the stain after the binding is on. 

I also got the two customer quilts trimmed.

This is a big one—I think it was 102” x 106, so a large king. It’s sea turtles.

This is the one I ripped out and put on a different back.

The back she provided wasn’t big enough, and I thought maybe I could make it work. My fault for trying something I had a feeling wouldn’t work. I put it on a white back, and I like it better because you can see the quilting design.

It has tractors and farm animals. 

I got another one on the frame, but I was busy working on binding so it is not quilted yet. I’ll get to it Monday. I went to the grocery store when I left the shop. I don’t like to go on Saturday but I was running low on a few things, so I went ahead and did it. I was so tired when I got home and put the groceries away, I made myself a sandwich and sat down in the chair. The dogs were trying to persuade me to go outside and throw the ball, but I was too tired.

They are not very subtle.
