Is it just my imagination or is time whizzing by faster than normal? I looked at the calendar this morning and realized (much to my surprise!) that September 1 is not that far away.
Amy and Bruce are getting married on September 1 and I still have a fair amount of quilting to do on their quilt. Let’s be honest, there is a lot of quilting left to be done! The bottom right hand block still needs to be done, as well as the the borders. And it will need a binding…and a label….yikes!
I love putting hidden gems in my quilts. I found a fabric that had little sayings printed on it. I fussy cut 4 of the words and stitched them in to a flower on each border.
I used a Frixion marking pen to mark the quilting lines. I was thrilled to be able to mark the quilt top and not have the marks disappear before my eyes while I stitch. Brilliant!
Speaking of brilliant….. Solar Iced Tea!
Fill a large pitcher with a 8 cups of water. Toss in 6 tea bags and leave in the sun for 6-8 hours. Easy Peasy!
Til next time…….

The little words on the flower is very sweet! I just love the little details that get noticed ‘later’.:) Good luck on the finish!
Thank you! I am determined to get it finished on time!
Your work is beautiful! I need to get off the computer and go to my sewing room! I’m so inspired!
Thanks you! You are right. Time on the computer is time spent not stitching. But it really is important to be inspired….and stay inspired. I am impressed that you already have a border of FOB finished. Keep on going!
