{Post #103} James and Kimi's Quilt is Bound and Labeled

Here is the whole quilt and the label I wrote for it.  It is washed and dried and ready for presentation.  There will be a bridal shower on November 11, just 4 days before the wedding.  Her parents live in Belgium, and that's the day they arrive.  I plan to give this to the new couple-to-be then.

It measures about 83" square, I think.

{Post #102} Wedding Quilt is Machine Quilted

On to the binding!  I have 4 outings planned for tomorrow, so I may be able to squeeze in some trimming and binding time.  

This is a quilt top I made years ago for my eldest son.  The top is 83" square.  The only post I can find on it was on my regular blog, Keeping You in Stitches.  The picture was taken in 2008.  

Here are a few pictures.  The first is still on the quilt frame.  I quilted all-over wonky feathers with blue thread.  It is hard to see the thread.  You have to be right on top of it.  The second is close up, and the third is most of it.  The colors are truest in the second picture.

{Post #101} Quilt for Timmy

This little quilt was colored and pieced by Timmy's mommy, my daughter, Elisabeth, when she was 12-13 years old (that is 11-12 years ago).  I happened upon it while I was packing up my sewing room last year.

I replaced the middle plain block with an embroidered block made by my friend, RJ on her machine embroidery set-up.

The blue alternate blocks were quilted with a meander in a blue thread.  I did "custom quilting" in all the picture blocks.

Here's a couple pictures.

I haven't measured it yet, but it seems to be about 60" square.  I am going to bind it and give it to Elisabeth for Christmas.  I hope I can remember where I hide it.
