Don’t these photos just suggest spring to you? This morning I attended a meeting of the Herring Run Quilt Guild in Norwell, and when I returned to my car, I spend a few minutes photographing these pretty blossoms.
At the last meeting of the Crosstown Quilters in Weymouth, I picked up two pieces of fabric from the back table. (The back table is a wonderful place; you never know what you may find there: fabric, books, magazines, notions, etc.) I like it because I know that whatever I leave there will probably go home with a fellow quilter.
Now, I do have one pretty hard and fast rule about taking things from the back table. Anything taken must be used within the two week period between meetings. . . if not, I must bring it back to the next meeting.
The exception to the rule would be a particular notion or pieces of trim which I am confident that I will eventually use when finishing a cross stitch piece.
Anyway, here’s a quilt for a child that I made from the fabric that I picked up from the back table last week.
Here’s a close up of this fun fabric.
The backing is a green print also from the table. I added batting and a red binding from my stash, and this quilt went together quickly. It will be donated to DCF (the Department of Children and Families.)
Now for Emma fans . . . here she is after a trip to the groomer on Wednesday.
And happily, the rain has stopped after a period of cool, damp, dreary, drizzly weather.
Life is good. Have a lovely week ahead.
Looking at those blossoms photos. . .I imagined that I could smell the scent in the air! What a great finish! The fabric is really cute!!! Emma sure wears that no "do" well!--TerryK@OnGoingProjects
ReplyDeleteWow, you did so well with your back table pickup. It is a sweet quilt to be greatly enjoyed I'm sure. Meanwhile, how beautiful are those blossoms. We have trees just budding but more sun will bring them out. Happy Stitching from me!
