Finally, my finger is near recovered and I had a good couple of sewing days!
Which means the cat must now sit in the sewing room to get my attention.
Steelers Quilt: pieced! It's 40x50" so I'll be adding borders. The plan is a 2" black border, then the million 2" HSTs, then... I don't know after that. Another black? A B&W?
New:
A baby quilt for the Dude's kindergarten teacher. It's from Don't Call Me Betsy's tutorial, but bigger. I'm going to have the kids sign the books, so I need at least 20, and I went wider than 1-2" books because kindergartners need a little more space to write. (Or at least mine does.) It'll end up being a three-shelf bookcase, with some stacked, some straight and some leaning.
Untouched This Week:
iSpy Sliced Coin Quilt (but not for long - the accent fabric has been purchased!)
In Planning:
Rudolph Quilt (the Dude)
Hunter's Star (my sister)
Non-quilting:
Second Snow White commissioned.
Finished the pattern keeper/easel for my sister. Need to start the bag.

What a cute idea for a quilt for the teacher. I just know she will love it. Smart idea for making the books a bit bigger for the signatures.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet idea to have the children sign the books! I love it!! I can't wait to see how it turns out :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad your finger is feeling better! I love the idea for the bookshelf quilt. That is something that she will treasure forever! Cats just love to be in the middle of things.
ReplyDeleteThat book quilt is such a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI love the book quilt idea. I'm also happy for you that your finger is better. I had a friend do the same and I know it was not fun at all.
ReplyDeleteI like the Steeler's quilt! Very nice.
