I’ve finally gotten to some of the binding. It’s not all done, but I’ve finished a few. First up is Cairdeas. This wall hanging was done in commemoration of my trip to Ireland in June with Bonnie Hunter. She designed this quilt, and the pattern is available in her on-line store. I started the embroidery in Ireland June 14th and finished the binding August 4th. It measures 24 1/2 x 25 1/4 after washing.
Up next is the Christmas Star Swap quilt. In April 2019, I attended a quilt retreat and some of us swapped blocks. This quilt was on my 2023 Brandon Quilters UFO list. This quilt finishes at 74″ x 93 before washing. The quilting is a combination of ruler work — 1 1/4″ and 3/4″ circles using the Handi Quilter Swiss Cheese ruler, free-motion continuous curves in the chain, and computerized motifes-Feathered Square 3 which I divided in half for the white areas and used who in the pieced blocks, and Christmas 2010 Border and Boder Corner by Sweet Dreams Quilt Studio. It took about 6 bobbins of Glide 40wt in Pistachio.
Kimberly is my most recent finish. I started this quilt at the MQA Summer Gathering and finished it August 21st. The quilting motif is Liberty. I used 3 bobbins in Glide 40wt in Mercury. It measures 65 x 82 1/2.
