The binding is finished on this darling floral quilt. I started this quilt in a class in 2009. It has been quilted for a while. It was one of the quilts in my pile of quilts that need binding. I pulled it out a couple of months ago. I finally trimmed it and cut binding for it. I applied the binding and started hand sewing down the binding onto the back last week. It is now going into the "done" pile. This coming spring I will hang this quilt up on the wall. I have wanted a floral quilt to display during springtime for years. Isn't it great that this one is purple? This purple springtime quilt will be a perfect fit for my seasonal wall quilt collection. I still need a "winter" quilt to round out my wall quilt collection. I usually keep up my Christmas quilt until it is time to hang up a red/white/blue quilt.
This "done" feeling is so wonderful. I love it! I feel that I have made progress this summer with my quilt making/finishing. Now if I could just not purchase more fabric than I use up I will be really happy!
Happy Quilting
Last year I purchased this Halloween Jelly Roll. At least I think it was last year, but maybe it was the year before! This is my favorite of all Halloween design lines that I have purchased. I bought several yards of this design line, as many of the pieces as I could find locally. I have made two or three Halloween quilts with this design line. They are all fun, fun, fun.
Can you tell that Halloween is one of my favorite holidays? I make at least one Halloween quilt every year. I usually give them away. Christmas is another of my favorite holidays. Between Halloween and Christmas, I am not sure which one is #1 for me. Halloween may be a thread ahead of Christmas.
When our children were young and dressed up for Halloween, it was so fun to walk with them around the neighborhood while they were trick or treating. I cannot wait until the grandbabies are old enough to take trick or treating. Mom and Dad always dress them up in darling costumes and bring them by our house. Even though they really do not know what it is all about yet, they know that candy is involved with this activity!
Are you making any holiday quilts this season?
Happy Haunting
