Finishes.......


I sent this quilt out to be done.  It has been in my house since Peter was a child..........okay, not that long, but a long time.
Now it has been quilted and it has a sleeve and it has been bound!
I'm sorry I don't know the name of the pantograph as the girl that did the quilting was not in the shop when I picked it up.  I do remember Deborah telling me she used Glide thread.  
 I decided to use a civil war fabric for the binding.  I wanted to use a dark blue, but the one I had in stock just didn't work.  I found a "brown" and it was a lot better.  Not perfect, but for the amount of time this will hang on a wall, I'm not going to get my knickers in a knot about it.


I remember exactly where I bought the backing.  Fabricland when it was located on Rebecca Street here in Town.  I loved it the minute I saw it.
Yes, we did get snow........occasionally



and just for us......
