Decided to work on a new Christmas table topper. I have had the kit for some time and just never got around to working on it. Since I finished the top for "Wish You Well," and it is so much cooler to sew in my basement, thought I'd give this a try.
Finished the five red blocks and hopefully can start the green blocks tomorrow. Each block is just 4 1/2 inches, so they work up quite quickly.
Stopped at my local quilt shop yesterday and talked to Kaye, the owner. Once I get the backing pieced for "Wish You Well", I can take it to her shop and she will help me baste it. So much better than trying to get on the floor to pin it. Then I can hand quilt it which may take some time. But I appreciate her offer to use the table in the shop to lay it out and then pin it.
Hi Nola~
ReplyDeleteHow pretty! Can you believe that Christmas is only 6 months away?! That piece will be really pretty on the table, and I can't wait to see it with the green blocks! Please show us "Wish you Well" when it's completed!
Have a great week-end!
Hugs,
Barb

DeleteThanks Barb. I wish I could say that the quilt top will be quilted soon, but I will probably take me some time.

Thanks. Just got the green ones sewn. Now to put them together.
DeleteThis will be sweet! How nice you’ll have a place to baste your quilt. I can’t really crawl around the floor to do it anymore, either.
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking about how I admire you for your quilting craft. I know that you love doing this work and have a passion for it. It inspires me to work on some things that I love too.
ReplyDeleteBlessings and hugs!
