Weekend Update

The days are passing so fast I can hardly keep up with what day it is! I got a couple of quilts finished last week that I did not post any pictures of. Both are baby quilts. This one was for a customer. 


I know the pictures don’t show the nice embroidery work very well. Her stitching is beautiful.


Another was one I did.


If it looks familiar, it’s because I did one with half of this layer cake a year ago. This one is what was left of the layer cake. I put a purple binding on it. I wanted to get it finished and add it to our Gabriel Project display for the Quilt Guild open house, which I did, but it’s so pretty I don’t know if I am ready to donate it or not. I have no immediate use for it, so I don’t know why I’m being so silly about it! 

I did a little sewing Saturday and Sunday. I cut up a Kaffe Fasset charm pack and started a bag. I used the free pattern I posted Friday, but of course I modified it to make it bigger. I got the back and the front pieced and quilted both of them. I just did stitch in the ditch on my domestic machine.


I have the perfect fabric for the lining so that will happen soon. I also added another row to the pink Irish chain. 


I will work on the black one this week and see if I can get another row added to it. Then I will have to piece some more blocks.

I went with a friend to a Santana tribute band concert on Sunday night. It was really good. 



 
Very talented band! I thoroughly enjoyed it. 

Saturday evening I was outside taking pictures of the harvest moon. Of course, I don’t have the photography talent or equipment to get good pictures, but I did my best!

  1. Your baby quilt is so cute, and that customer quilt - wow her embroidery on it is really nice. Nice pics of the Harvest Moon! We saw it when it first came up then clouds obscured it. It was so pretty.

    1. Thank you Linda. Vonnie does really good work. I feel like my photography skills did not do that moon justice!

    1. The moon was big and bright! That layer cake was from Me and My Sister Designs and had such pretty colors! The concert was a lot of fun—I’m so grateful to have a friend who also likes live music.
