The quilt I am making for my Uncle is finished. WooHoo! a finish and in pretty quick time for me. I just need to add the label and then decide if I want to give it to him right away or wait until Christmas.
It measures 63" x 66" Odd size, I know, I made it a bit more rectangular by making the top and bottom border a bit wider than the sides.
You may remember this gorgeous handquilted star block that I received as a birthday gift from Lesley
proudly displayed in my kitchen so I can see it all the time. |
A stuffed tea cozy! I pieced the front and there was even some little half-square triangles in the scrap bag so I made a pinwheel and then just kept adding strips around, log cabin style. I did some freemotion stitching, added a plain back and then for warmth, heat resistant thermal batting layers and a flannel lining and then I stuffed the whole thing with fiberfill and it is just the best tea cozy I have ever owned. I saw one at an up-scale craft store for sale for 85.00 and figured I could make one. I even used the ribbon that the scrap bag was tied with, for the tab at the top. I still had scraps left over so I started another small project that I am still working on. I will share that when it is completed. Thanks so much Lesley, I enjoyed myself so much using up your scraps!
Thanks for stopping by my little blog.
Have a quilty day!
