Sunday afternoon provided plenty of sewing time while watching football. A binding went onto a snowman themed quilt, and later in the evening I managed to get about 1/3 of that binding flipped and handstitched to the back.
My daughter asked me to make a Christmas stocking for her mother-in-law who lives with them. I chose a couple of smaller scale prints and made a simple checkboard. You can't see the quilting in this photo, but I have added a diagonal straight stitching. The back is a red candy cane print. I haven't decided yet what color to make the cuff - possibly green or maybe red. Then I can put "G'ma" in white letters on the cuff. Or I could do a cream cuff with red letters.
Another project I worked on was the top of a baby quilt - based on a block shown at guild on Saturday. But I'm going to wait and share that another day.
I'm linking up with Design Wall Monday:
The quilting on the snowman quilt caught my eye. Looks like it is perfect for the subject. Bindings 1/3rd done means there is a finish coming soon. Cute stocking.
ReplyDeleteI do like the way the quilting shows up on the plaid! Nice design for the stocking.
ReplyDeleteLove the quilting and the stocking. Sounds like a great Sunday of stitching. I worked on a t-shirt quilt all weekend and have the top together. Lots of secret elfster stitching this weekend too.
ReplyDeleteLike the other commentators, I like the quilting on the snowman quilt. The plaid shows the design well. I need to find a good pattern to use the Christmas fabric in my stash.
ReplyDeleteVery fun Christmas stitching. The quilting on your Christmas quilt looks great.
ReplyDeleteLove the quilting on the Christmas quilt. I bet the binding is finished by now. And just in time for Christmas which is coming fast. Thanks for linking with Design Wall Mondays, Judy
