2 July finishes!!

/ quiltinggail

That’s correct!  I’ve got 2 finishes!  That leaves me with 8 UFOs and 2 new projects to finish before the end of the year for PHD in 2018!

#1

This Kangaroo quilt is done, done, done.  The label is on and it’s ready to be gifted!  There is pinky minky on the back.  Last week I talked about how easy it was to quilt.  And, I mentioned that I did not like the mess it made when it was trimmed.  When I was putting the binding on, I also found another dislike: it’s HOT!!!  It’ll be nice and cuddly in the winter.  If it wasn’t going to be gifted soon, then I would have put it aside until it was cooler!

Edit:  This quilt was a panel, contrary to some beliefs, I did NOT appliqué it.  Just added the borders onto the panel!

July '12-3

Here’s a couple of close ups of the quilting (front & back).

#2

The Square Dance Table Topper is Done!  The pattern (from My Carolina Home) is no longer available on-line.

July '12-4

I was asked to test out a ruler that is being developed.  It’s in the “busy” sections of the topper.  Close-ups will come later.  In the meantime, I enjoyed doing the pencil with parallel lines and I really liked the texture it created!

    • Hi Ann,
      Thank you. It was fun to free motion the panel – no stress!
      Well, I certainly hope that I can achieve my PHD in 2018!
      I hope you don’t get blown away by the wind/hurricane that’s hitting the rock!
      Happy Quilting! 🙂

  9. Hi Gail,
    I think both of your finishes are fabulous! I think the kangaroo is backed with minky (not pinky)? I have avoided using it for that very reason – it sounds like it is a hot mess. But it is nice and soft, and I can only imagine how hot it would be. I LOVE, love, LOVE your Square Dance finish. The quilting is fabulous, especially in that center star. Yousa!! Great job. Happy Thursday! ~smile~ Roseanne

    • Hi Roseanne,
      Yes, the Kangaroo is backed with minky … auto correct … grrrrr…. I’m on the fence with whether I’ll use it again or not.
      Thank you … the square dance was fun to quilt. I wasn’t sure what to do in the star, but I’m pleased with how it turned out!
      Happy Quilting! 🙂
