I got back busy quilting this week even
though I took 2 mornings to clean flower beds.
I finished quilting and trimmed my scrappy anvil quilt.
Here are some close ups
of the free-motion quilting.
I added the finishing touches to my small
crazy quilt.
The lace on the border was knitted
by my great-grandmother Asenath West Lancaster who died in 1932 at 89. The lace had
been on a pillowcase. It fit the border
perfectly without me cutting it. I have
another piece just like it for another special project.
I have 2 small comfort quilts sandwiched
and ready for quilting which I hope to work on this weekend along with dealing
with half bushel of pears that I picked this morning.
I'm linked up with Can I Get A Whoop? at Confession of a Fabric Addict. Check out the neat finishes and progress.
Stay cool and enjoy time sewing or quilting.

Wow, you have accomplished a lot. Love the bright anvil quilt and the quilting looks wonderful. But the crazy patch work......over the top! Such a priceless piece with your great grand's lacework. It was just meant to be.
ReplyDeleteI love your anvil quilt especially the quilting. The feathers around the outer edge are devine! I am envious of them as I have so had it on my to learn list. Your quilt is also lovely and bright. And the crazy little one is so amazing with all the stitches.

How wonderful to have the piece of lace knitted by your great grandmother. You made the perfect little quilt to display it. The quilting you did on your Anvil quilt is beautiful. Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteLove both of your finishes. Sweet!
