Finally, First Quilt Made Here!!

Yesterday afternoon, I finished my Schnibble for August.  Better late than never, right?

I made it out of a pretty collection called “Watercolor Garden”.

It’s all quilted and the binding attached and ready for me to do the hand sewing at bee tomorrow.   Yippee!!

Sewing, Finally!!

I still have quite a bit  more  straightening up to do and boxes to open down in the basement, but just needed to take a few days off!!

I am storing some things under my HQ Sweet 16 machine table, so I made a gathered skirt and velcroed it onto the bottom recessed edge.

It hides all the stuff stored under there and looks so much better!

The “Quilt It” banner still has not been found…sigh…

I’m thinking I need some sort of small colorful valance over the top of my new white wood blinds in there…

But, I selected the two charm packs to make the August Schnibble and spent a few hours cutting the pieces, and even assembled one basket block!

Yogi seemed very happy to be back up on my sewing table!!

He gets such good sleep to the vibrations of my sewing machine…
