Quilt

I spent Wednesday and Thursday this week finishing up the name embroidery for the border strips for Aunt Jean and Uncle Don's quilt. I also made a center patch with just their names, with a heart around it... just what you would expect someone to draw in the sand!

Friday, I began to sew the strips onto the backing and batting. Not an easy or fun job, and I have 13! I've discovered that pins are my friend!

Saturday... today, the ripper is my friend! I just had to rip a strip back off since the previous strip hadn't been pressed sufficiently... other than that, the strips are going on slowly!

Great day to quilt, drizzly and chilly!
