Oops. Forgot to post yesterday! As always I get lost. My husband says I get stuck in rabbit holes. My children say I get buried in my quilts and WIPs (of which there are many) and UFOs.
Yesterday I finished the binding on my quilt. This one is for me. It’s London Blues quilt kit.
At the start of COVID my husband was temporarily assigned to work in Washington DC 9051 miles away. So in April I decided to drive up and visit. Anticipating spending quality time with him, (everything was closed) I packed my sewing machine and the London Blues kit and several spools of blue thread and two bobbins. (No cats so I figured I would be safe with only two)
For two weeks we enjoyed each other’s company. (If you ask him, he’ll say he heard the sewing machine in his sleep for a few weeks after)
When I left I had a completed top!
My local quilt shop has suspended longarm rentals in keeping with COVID safety precautions. And Because of those closures I had time on my hands—I have A LOT— of UFOs.
recently I have sent them two at a time to get quilted by the skilled ladies at Quilting by the Bay. I even sent one for my son to Missouri Quilt Co. All done beautifully. Now I am sewing bindings on. The bright blues and purples is for my youngest son. It was a kit (I love kits—takes all the guess work out of picking colors and I learn new blocks and patterns and ways of making blocks differently.)
The Irish chain I sent to my nephew in New Jersey.
