Who would believe that it is August already? When I was young, the time for weekends would drag by so slowly to go to parties, movies, etc. Now I blink my eyes and the weekend is here.
I finished the "Zipper Quilt" ( pattern by Janet Dolan, Missouri Star Quilt Co). I like the way it turned out. I am thinking of making one out of blues. This quilt, when quilted will be given to the hospice house in my area. It was made with love and hugs to comfort a patient.
The top photo in blue is a iron caddy that I made while in San Diego and I just finished up the red one.
This is a great pattern, When the Caddy is buttoned up it is very compact. When you release the elastic on both side is opens up to a small ironing pad. This is ideal for taking and bringing home your iron to classes and retreats. I am sure I will be making more before Christmas.
I will see what my quilting buddies think of this project when I go to my quilt guild on Wednesday.
Wishing you all a great day and hope you find time to make the sewing machine purr.
Like the way the Zipper quilt finished. Go for the color you've got most in your fabric stash...the design is perfect for using a large variety of prints in a particular color family. I like the red iron caddy. Looks like you used a smaller loft or less layers of batting for it. Did it sew up better? My machine is purring =^.^= San
ReplyDeleteThanks for your reply. I really like how it turned out. For sure I will make another one only in blues.
