A finish, no matter how small, is a victory.
The Easter door hanger is finished. It's a chocolate bunny, right? This was a Riley Blake kit, and really adorable. I was going to quilt this myself but ended up having it done by a pro. The texture on this is great, so I'm glad I made that decision. The variegated thread is even soft Easter colors. So I could hang it on the 2 hooks on my door, I added ribbon loops on the top. And now it will hang in the closet until next spring. LOL
So, what have I found now?
This wall hanging - Cats of 4 Seasons - was folded up in the bottom of a drawer. Not the Big Grey Tote, but a drawer. It's all hand appliqued and most of that was done in the car in approximately the year 2000 on a road trip from South Dakota to Atlanta, up to North Carolina, then over to Kentucky, with stops in Chicago and Green Bay. It was a LOT of hours in the car.
About 10 years ago I started hand quilting it. I think it was about 10 years ago. Anyway, it's about half quilted. The needle is still threaded and was in the spot where I stopped. The binding fabric was even in a small bag with it. I remember this pattern was in a book, but I have no clue which book or if I still have that particular book. Hmmm . . .
Hopefully I will work on the hand quilting now that this project has seen the light of day again, and get it finished. It's crazy what UFO projects I keep unearthing.
I am chuckling each time you unearth another UFO...I am in the same boat and last year I clicked off a bunch. I need to find time to do more this year. But now that I am home again I need to crank out some of those runners I pieced in the last 3 months
ReplyDeleteAs soon as I get done with the big sort I need to finish something else! Love the Chocolate Bunny! You hand quilting is so neat!
