I finished D's scripture bag. He loves John Deer tractors. I finished it last night about midnight then drove it over to my daughter's. I just put it in her car knowing she was asleep. She will deliver it to the baptism. I am staying home and resting. I need it. I am trying to get over bronchitis and a little pneumonia so I can go see my dad after his heart attack.
I found the bright yellow zipper in my stash and loved it with the green accents, but couldn't find the right color of yellow for the binding in my stash. I was lucky enough to find a yellow with green specks at our very small quilt store. I am pleased with how it turned out.
I have had two quilts laying on the floor and couch in my living room all week awaiting me to sew a backing for them: Canadian Chris and Autumn Afternoon.
Once I have them all pressed nice and ready for the quilter, I don't like to fold them up again for fear of having to press again. I usually deliver them straight from my floor to a hanger, and then straight to my quilter.
I am choosing backings from my stash. I found this wonderful 108 wide backing about words of friendship. Chris gifted me these blocks and her friendship matters to me, so it is perfect. It is too long for my quilt but not wide enough. There needs to be some simple cutting off the long end and piecing the extra back together to accommodate the sides.
Next step will be piecing a back for Autumn Afternoon.
you are blessed indeed...it looks scary but modern cardiac care is miraculous...praying for all of you....and take care of yourself too!
