Here at the beginning of November I have finally put the last stitches in the binding of my batik Crowns quilt and laundered it.
It's just under 60" square and will be donated to our local hospice organization. I have also finally laundered Sticks and Stumps, which is headed for the foster care program.
It's about 51"wide x 60" long.
It was quite an ordeal to get these photos. The wooden clamps were only hanging from push pins for all these years. They finally fell out and wouldn't stay put. So I had James come in and put actual nails in the wall. The goal was to place the nails to allow for any of the most common width quilts I make to be hung. That involved some figuring, which neither of us was particularly suited for at the time. What's done is done now and I'll do my best to make it work.
The big question now is, what will I start next? (And how soon?!)
The4 hospice and foster care will be delighted with each quilt, the top one shines, and the lower one a delight in those tones.
ReplyDeleteFabulous quilts, I particularly like the batik one.
ReplyDeleteYou have a good heart and a talent for quilting and design. I'm so impressed. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteTwo wonderful quilts - hooray for someone to help you with those nails and a more secure hanging system.
ReplyDeleteWow, they are two gorgeous quilts! they will be loved I am sure xx
ReplyDeleteBoth look great, but I particularly love the crowns quilt. Time for a trip to the Parts box?
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful! In Crowns, I love how the contrast of the center triangle cross comes and goes; it's like looking at rippling water.
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed with and fascinated by the batik quilt, too. It's wonderful!
