Because I was waiting for my Hancocks order to be delivered, my t-shirt quilt was put on hold. That's okay though--Friday afternoon I decided to put my time to good use and pulled out one of the pinned quilts in my stack. Finn had sent two tops a month or so back but I knew they were going to the boys and there was no rush when round robins and other quilting intervened. I got an email from one of the Belles who said to save her some handwork for the sew-in. She can have the binding detail and sew the labels on Libby's two quilts.
I finished up the quilting on the Strip Twist last evening (I think that is the right name) with enough time leftover to do zoom lines on the polka dot rail fence with alternating blocks. I'll see if I cannot get these linked up to the pictures she may have shown on her blog before she sent them off to us. Otherwise I'll post the pics once the binding is done.
I need to cut binding for one of the quilts yet and get it attached this afternoon. Only other thing on the sewing schedule would be to add the missing fabric to my cat quilt back so we can possibly pin it at the sew-in. Then it is off to the kitchen as I need to make some food items to cart to the sew-in.
I plan on concentrating on getting the homespun bricks top pieced. We will be working both Monday and Tuesday from about 9-5. If I should manage to get the top finished in one day, I can possibly do 3-D bowties or put some nine patch blocks into some sort of setting for another top. As always there is never any shortage of things to do!
Hope you all are having a good weekend---
Those are two beautiful quilts! Libby was very generous!

Those are great quilts, and look like a lot of work, too! I'm sure the boys will enjoy them. That monkey wrench in those colors just looks like a boy kinda pattern to me. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Linda, I'm just thrilled for the Bama Belles and for the Boy's Ranch that more quilts are coming in...*VBS* That Libby is really a sweetie!!! *VBS*
ReplyDeleteSounds like there will be plenty of work to keep everyone busy at the Sew In. Wish I could join you, Hugs, Finn
Libby's quilts are wonderful and as always I'm in awe of all you do with your charity quilting.
ReplyDeleteI try to make a large part of my quilting for charitable causes but the group you work with does so much more.
It's wonderful to see your blog generating even more contributions from the internet community.
Those quilts are gorgeous! What a generous gift. I hope her family doesn't start up a lynch mob because they didn't get them-LOL
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely luscious quilts! The appliqued one looks especially delicious! lol Great job, all of you.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda, how generous of Libby to send you those quilts for your charity work, gorgeous quilts, and wonderful work you have chosen to do. Nancy in MT
