Once again she has had to go through a test after test to satisfy an insurance company. I thought it was time to make her a quilt..........something I should have done a long time ago.
The weather was beautiful one Saturday in August so I set up my little sewing machine on the outside table and stitched away for the entire day.
The only time I left was to hang up another load of clothes or walk downstairs and press the seams. Otherwise, I just strip pieced everything.
Fortunately, I had pinks and purples in stock and the cream I had was destined to work with the purple fabric. Six centers of the purple blocks are different. I wanted to give this a try.
I had no time to spare because the following Thursday I was delivering this quilt to Heather for her to give to her sister, for her sister to take to Huntsville for Bella.
I opted for my favourite panto...........Hearts and Flowers and I used a thread called Raspberry Parfait by Superior. I was going to use a pink thread but this one just worked out a whole lot better.
My new labels came! I stitched this one right onto the backing and then the quilting will help to hold it in place a bit more. From now on, I'll put them right into the binding. I am really happy with the company I ordered them from. They are in Philadelphia, PA and their service is quick and accurate. If you are interested, here's the link:
