Last Step.

Hand stitching the binding today.

Soon I will start on my next unfinished project!!

Starting to quilt

Today I started the free motion quilting on this project. I will not get it done today

as I am going to the garden to work soon.

It is a beautiful day here in Arizona, going to be 82 F. It is hard to stay inside

on a day like this.

Time to finish something.

Tonight I decided I need to start completing some of the

projects I have started and believe me when I

say there are many.

I started this baby quilt about one year ago, it is the

quilt version of my rag flower pillow.

Raggedy flowers with a hand appliqued butterfly

on each one. I used scrapes to make this quilt

and I am running out of matching fabric for the back.

....so this is going to be the back.

The pink fabric is Tea Rose by Crab Apple Hill Studio.

It is so beautiful but I cannot find more, so I am using

white Kona cotton as a filler, the same as the background

squares on the front.

I only need to baste, quilt and bind

and I'm done.

Check with me in a few days to see if this becomes

a finished project.

Growing up!!

Not much going on this weekend, I am trying to clean up my
sewing room. It has become quit messy.

Also my granddaughter came
to spend the night. I just love it when she sleeps over.
We always have some little project we do. This time she
wanted me to help her with something.

She has these little plastic princes shoes, she has had

them for a long time. I remember when they where too big

for her and now they fit, but she said she is too

old for princes stuff (she will be 7 in April).

So she ask me if I could take off the bow and heart and make

them more grownup.

Out of all the pretty buttons I have, she decided
these black buttons would be the best.
This sewing project was not that easy because the top of the
shoe is made of thick rubbery plastic, but we got them done
and she was very happy.

She is growing up too fast!!
