Kamryn's Quilt

Row by Row

I had to go into work today to let workers in and I have to go back and lock up when they are finished. So I thought I might as well check out the quilt shops within in 50 miles while I wait. I'll post photos!!!

Table Topper

I needed a little surprise for a birthday

Memory Quilt Progress

The hard part is done. 

Now I'm trying to decide if I should do a 1" purple inner border and binding with a multicolor 3" border. Or if I should use pink like the letters.

At first I thought I would just match pink the lettering.  I'm surprised but I think I like the purple better. 

Inspiration-Diversion

I'm not sure where I will use this but I was looking through a book on seminole indian patchwork and this pattern was in it.  I just had to make a few. You would think I didn't have anything to do.

I have 4 quilt tops to quilt. 

I have 2 quilt tops to sew together 

and I have the memory quilt to complete. 

Memory Quilt

I'm making a memory quilt for a sweet friend.  

This is before I started cutting up all the clothes.  The first cut is the hardest.

This was after 12 hours

This is after about 18 hours of fusing and cutting.  I still have a ways to go but is seems to be coming together.  I have 4 or 5 more pieces to add and then I will start to fill in the empty spaces with the leftover scraps.  

Baby Quilt #2 Finished

Hand is a four letter word. 

I completed this quilt including the label with out hand stitching anything!!!  

I hate hand stitching!!

I was going to machine sew the label into  the corner of the quilt on 2 sides and then i would only  have to  hand stitch it down across the angle but as I was  pinning it on I had a great idea.   I just faced the back of the label with fabric so when it fits in the corner it makes a small finished pocket. 

No hand stitching!!! 

I think this is how I will attach labels from now on.  I have been having good luck printing on fabric with my ink jet printer.  I  have been able to just tape the fabric on the paper and run it through.  I had read that all you have to do is iron it and it heat sets it but today I soaked the label in white vinegar for 5 minutes rinsed it and then ironed it dry. 

Lots of help from my grand cat "Draco"
