This has been a week of finishes. I finished the binding on the three table runners I quilted last Saturday. My MIL has claimed this one. It will look nice in her living room.
The second runner will be given to a friend.
The third one will be donated to the church bazaar.
Next, I quilted and bound the baby quilt I showed last week. I used some light green solid fabric for the binding.
The backing is some flannel I had in my stash. I had to make it a bit wider so the orange stripe was added. I will add a label soon, before I put this quilt away.
I used a combination of wavy and straight lines for the quilting which I did on my DSM.
At my knitting lesson this week, I learned how to do ribbing. I am creating a sampler of the different knitting patterns I am learning... Red does not photograph well.
I used Sarah's advice on how to finish off my embroidery project. She suggested I do a running stitch to cinch in the extra fabric at the back of the hoop and then cover it with a piece of felt.
I hand stitched the felt into place. I did not want to use glue.
This is now hanging on the wall in my sewing room.
I did a bit of cross stitch on the Linen and Threads February ornament this week. More stitches will be added tomorrow.
My daughter has been really busy at work but had a bit of time this week to finish outlining the first feather on her cross stitch. Finn likes to help.
Today, I quilted my spinning 4 patch project and I am now in search of appropriate fabric in my stash for the binding. I have a quilt guild meeting this coming week so I will have lots of show and tell.
I made a springtime pillow case for a friend this week too. I did a lot of sewing this week!
I will be linking up with Kathy and the Gang of Slow Sunday Stitchers in the morning. Take a look and see what kind of shenanigans everyone is up to this week.
