This weekend I have been sewing on the charity quilt in the photo. I really like it. The bright colors pull at me and say "Look at me"!
I am not sure if I mentioned that this quilt is a free pattern from Cindy Carter. It is her Scrappy Heart Quilt pattern. She has several free patterns on her website, http://carterquilter.wordpress.com/. Check out her website.
I sewed on the first border this afternoon. I wanted to take a picture of this top to post in my blog before it was too dark to got outside for a photo. You know that it had to be breezy outside, right? Since I have not posted for a while, I wanted to get this top to a stage where there was at least one border applied. I took three photos outside. In each one the bottom row of the quilt top was crooked because of the sudden breeze. We finally came inside and DH held it up near the front window. There was enough light left that I was able to get a photo. It is not the best photo, but at least you can see all the rows and the first border.
I have not been finishing much lately. I have been sewing, but just not getting finished projects done. Maybe next week I can sew on the other borders.
There are two more rows to sew on my Em's 4 patch quilt and then I will take a picture of it to post. I had planned on finishing the 4 patch top last weekend, but alas - not so. I was so close I did not want to stop sewing and go to bed. Since I get up early on days when I babysit the grands, I knew I needed to go to bed or else I would not get enough sleep to keep me energized to deal with those two darling little never-stop-running toddlers.
Have a Happy Easter.
Hugs - Pam
