Kristen's Cottage |
I made good use of the final hot days of August with a couple of finishes and one near finish, thanks to a S'mores slow/no-sew day at Kristen's Craft Cottage.
The second/final border is on Mary's Triangles and the binding prepared. I'll put the two back pieces together this week and it will be ready to file away for quilting.

The flimsy for S'more Blue went together quickly after laying it out on Wednesday. I'll work on the back and binding this week then it may go to my LAQ. I'd like to see what she will do with the raw edge center 4-patches.

I also managed to get the center of Easy Street together and have cut inner border. If I can get the borders on this week, that will be another UFO off my list. Whew!

(It was an overcast day yesterday so it was hard to get bright photos from the upstairs bridge.)

You've got lots of fun ahead with those projects! I'm going to Chattanooga too on a bus with Music City. My pocket book is already crying!
ReplyDeleteNot sure yet which day(s) I'll be at the show. I'll keep an eye out for you.
DeleteYou certainly had a busy week with 2 - almost 3 - finishes.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your time in Chattanooga.
Maybe we can get together next year ....
DeleteYour quilts are amazing!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Suzanne. And thanks for taking a moment to visit. Have a great week!
DeleteLibby, your finishes are looking great! I'm looking forward to seeing what borders you put on Easy Street; they sure can make a difference! Not much quilting for me this week, but I did finish the binding on the quilt I need for a wedding in two weeks, so that was satisfactory. Have a good week! Sharon B.
ReplyDeleteBorders are cut, ready to go on.
DeleteAll of your quilts look great! I really like Mary's Triangle... great layout for those blocks. And the yellows just sparkle!
ReplyDeleteRecently I've seen blocks where MT is just a unit within the block. I guess I'm not done with MTs yet. Hope you've had a restful day. I made potato salad for supper, my only nod to a special occasion.
DeleteI love the Easy Street, and I look forward to seeing your completion of your borders. I love the little cabin too. I dream of a craft cottage, but I'll settle for 5 days in my hotel room in Chattanooga. I've already started packing some UFO's to finish next week. I've got to get them finished, because I know I'll add some more to my UFO list at the show. I hope you have a great week, and a fantastic time in Chattanooga.

Thanks for stopping by, Joy. I'm only going to be in Chattanooga for two nights but hope to get some serious work done there, too. Want to hook up for a cuppa?
