I also decided to pull out an old UFO. Carriage House Samplings Alphabet.
I started this when I was pregnant with Matthew (over three years ago) and decided to get it back out after seeing Siobhan's beautiful framed piece. I would love to get this one finished up!
I also went to my local quilt shop (People, Places and Quilts) today. It's a beautiful shop in historic Summerville. I got some backing and binding fabric for my table topper.
I got the blue for the back and the brown for the binding. I also picked up a few fat quarters while I was there. All the fabric I got is from the Moda Figgy Pudding line.
Tomorrow I'm going to Amy's to stitch and shop! I can't wait for that!! It's been a long time since I've been away (without kids). I need it!! Write Later!
Beautiful stitching, I love her hair. Nice fabrics too, I especially like the brown you chose for the binding. Have a great weekend

ReplyDeleteNicole, you've been bitten! That darn quilting bug got you. There's no turning back now.
ReplyDeleteYou're Quaker lady is moving along nicely! I thought about doing that one but I have too many projects I want to do already so I decided against it. :(
