I am done with this quilt top. DONE! Over three months in the making, and I'm so thrilled to be done with it. Not only because I love it, but because it was a challenge. Piecing the blocks wasn't terribly difficult and, in pieces, the applique itself wasn't either. However, there are a lot of applique pieces and getting them on was so time consuming. At first, I wasn't sure if I should attach the borders and then add the applique or add the applique to the border and THEN attach the borders. I'm glad I did the applique first. It's quite a chore cajoling a queen-sized quilt around the sewing table. The corner flowers on the border had to go on last after the borders were attached. Honestly, I was about 60 seconds from throwing things at one point. I'm pretty even tempered, but the moving all the fabric around - and, at one point, getting a grease spot from sewing machine lubricant on the white fabric (gone now, thank goodness) - was frustrating. By the end of it, I had to trim up the outer border because it had frayed quite a bit after being moved around so much. Mitered borders aren't my favorite and they're far from perfect, but I'm mostly happy with the outcome. Next, she gets quilted. I can't wait for this one to be done! It's the first, and probably last, queen-sized quilt I'll finish. Famous last words... The quilt is 83" x 105" so it's too big to get a flat shot of the whole quilt in my small house. Here are some photos. Enjoy! I'm also linking up to Sew Fresh Quilts! She does beautiful work and I love her fun patterns!

Eunice spent eighteen months piecing her Mrs Billings quilt by machine. These really are a labour of love which I would never have the patience to even start never mind finish. It must be a great sense of achievement to see it finished though. This is the second Mrs Billings that I have quilted, there is so much piecing that quilting design choices are limited and cost prohibitive for my clients too. So simple quilting although every piece is quilted somehow. Mrs Billings is the pattern name available from Somerset Patchwork Off white thread and customer supplied wadding, 92" x 92" As with many of this type of quilt, both piecer and quilter spent time finding solutions to give a good result for the borders, but a pleasing result was accomplished on both sides.... As usual lots of photos....

Saturday was cold and windy. So, we worked in the yard. Sunday was beautiful and sunny. And, we stayed inside and recovered from working in the yard. I got a lot done. The roses are cut back and the dead growth on the perennials is cut back and out on the street. Things have been fed and the last two plants that found their happy homes in the garden last year have been planted. Lots of houseplants got replanted and some got moved out to the greenhouse for a refresher. The Christmas Cactus that the squirrels ate the roots off of have been planted and I hope they will take root. In short, the garden is ready for 2019. And, I'm ready for this year's garden. Hoping it will be my best so far. I have one more large project to clear some space for another sitting area and there's no rush for that. I also spent some time working on the triangle quilt. I got another border finished and added to the quilt. One more round of four inch squares and I will be done. It's not the right dimensions for me to add that border and I "should" add another round of 3" squares first, but I decided I'd do something different in the corners to make it work, so soon I'll be sewing the last stack of triangles into squares and hopefully wrapping this one up. One of the things I did on Saturday was to change the tablecloth on the dining table. And, I decided I needed a table runner. So, I pulled out an old table runner top, thinking I'd just quilt it up. And then I realized why I had never quilted it. It was huge. Nearly a table cloth. So, I did the only possible thing and took it completely apart. I even broke the blocks into their 9 patches and put them back together again because there were a lot of mismatched points and I figured if I was going to do it, I might as well do it right. So, I took it apart and made these two. The top one is the front and the bottom one is going to be the backing. And, it might even be reversible. It's not really as bright as that picture looks. To explain how big this was before I took it apart, the only thing I added is the pink borders on the backing. All the rest was in the original top. And, I have a small stack of blocks left that didn't get used. I plan to quilt it in an all over vine with rose leaves. Maybe. Or, maybe not. Who knows. It's pin basted and ready for me to start quilting. But, it's so pink and flowery and, well, it probably won't be on the table very long every year. Summer maybe? So, I needed a spring one. And, I had the fabrics to make a blue and yellow one. These blocks were leftovers from a block of the month my LQS had in 2011 and I bought them from the scrap bin. I bought three pair. The blue and yellow ones weren't just alike, so I made them similar so they can be used together. And, I got this far last night. Looking forward to putting these together and getting them quilted and on the dining table. This was supposed to be a really quick project. But, I think I can have it ready to quilt this weekend and it will have a back from a single piece of fabric, so it will be easier to quilt. I can quilt using the block lines and filling where I want to. Friday was my birthday. I am now 57 years old. The older I get, the quieter my birthdays get. A few cards and some well wishes. Dinner was steak and a baked potato and a salad. And, it was delicious. I picked up a half of a cherry pie at the grocery and ended up eating 3/4 of it myself over the course of the weekend. Oh, well. I'll only turn 57 once, right? I have to say that I feel like one of the youngest 57 year olds I know. Still active, still interested in life, still learning. Life is good. And another year older doesn't change that. Everybody have a great week! I plan to be sewing table runners for a while. I enjoy having them on the table...bright spots that I can see when I walk by and change at my pleasure. Lane
