Baby quilt finished!!
Gee, Mini, if that thrift store is a
non-profit (charitable) agency, that is just not right. Maybe you should complain to the higher ups! Last week at a local VFW thrift store, I found a tote bag with the logo of my quilt guild. The guild sold those about 3 years back for about $12, IIRC. I paid $2, took it home and washed it, and it is good as new. PAT in VA/USA mini Mini wrote: I do that too. But, it's a small place here. There is a clothes designer/ seamstress that had connections with the thrift store (there is one where all the donated clothes end up) & she gets most of the good stuff first... I'm telling you, I live in Fabric Desert! So, I spend a lot of time in fabric stores when I travel (and begging for scraps!)! ;o) |

Baby quilt finished!!
Sunny - that's beautiful!! And just what is wrong with the quilting? It
looks fantastic to me. -- TerriLee in WA (state) remove the cats to reply http://community.webshots.com/myphot...umID=548330161 "Sunny" wrote in message oups.com... Yay! I finished quilting and binding the baby quilt last night and it's off ot its new home today at noon. I'm really excited. I've only seen photos of little Andrea so far, but she's obviously a true beauty. The quilt was started after my mom sent me an old McCall's magazine article. Then I saw Mini's quilt -- thanks Mia for letting me borrow some of your really good ideas -- and the two inside borders were born as well as the back border. I quilted each print block according to the design on the quilt. The only one where I didn't follow the designs was the ones with polka dots and there, I just made big circles. It was really fun. I put on two appliques....had to restrain myself from covering it in flowers and butterflies. My quilting is not great, but it's enthusiastic and I hadh a really g ood time making this little quilt. http://www.flickr.com/photos/16989612@N00/?saved=1 Comments welcome! Sunny Oh, I finally got a pic of one of my QI's....... |
