Not entirely off topic
Adorable -- both the little ones and the quilt! And congratulations on
conquering mitered corners -- they do give you a sense of accomplishment, don't they? -- Louise in Iowa nieland4 at mchsi dot com http://community.webshots.com/user/louiseiniowa "dogsnus" wrote in message ... The first set of pictures is off topic. They're of my grand-daughter. http://www.home.earthlink.net/~dogsn...%20red%20bow.j pg http://www.home.earthlink.net/~dogsn...fs%20chest.jpg http://www.home.earthlink.net/~dogsnus/images/hailey's%20cone%20head%20do%20r ag.jpg Actually,the second set is off topic too. My grandson P.J. at age 5 months: http://www.home.earthlink.net/~dogsn...s/PJ_IMG07.JPG http://www.home.earthlink.net/~dogsn...s/PJ_IMG11.JPG And for the on topic portion,here's the finished quilt that my SIL and I worked on together. She did the embroider and I did the rest. http://www.home.earthlink.net/~dogsn...Babyquilt2.JPG Close up of embroider before quilting: http://www.home.earthlink.net/~dogsn.../BearClose.JPG I'm undecided yet whether or not to send it,as I may be going to see my grand-daughter at the end of June,in which case I will carry it with me. I wish it showed up better,but this is my first mitered corners quilt. I don't know what I was afraid of,it's not as hard as I thought it would be and looks so much nicer than my previous bound quilts. I'm encouraged now to try other border methods. Terri |

Beautiful grandchildren Terri, and the quilt is awesome! I have almost
mastered mitred corners... they still turn out a bit rounded but I'm getting there. It just takes practise I guess.

And congratulations on conquering mitered corners -- they do give you a sense of accomplishment, don't they? Thank you and yes,I feel good that I braved the mitering challenge. I finally got a better photo of the GSD quilt after completion, and it's one of those that looks much better from a distance. http://www.home.earthlink.net/~dogsn...Mojomemory.JPG Beautiful! It's exactly like the one I want to make for my daughter....different dog in the center and fabrics to match her room of course. Stupid question......are those white strips cut on the bias? I think a good mitered corner would have enhanced this quilt as well. Maybe next time. I'm thinking of doing a black lab next, and have found a pattern of a duck to go on it. Where are you getting the animal patterns? |
