Declan’s birthday quilt is finished. I was torn as to where to post this but since Kim aka dragonflyer digitized my highlights and placement line for my jellybeans, I decided to acknowledge her here. I actually sewed my jellybeans with a white backing fabric right sides together. I cut a slit in the white just large enough to turn right sides out, pressed. I then used Kim’s embroidered outline as a placement on my stabilizer. I used Elmers children’s glue stick and adhered my sewn jellybean on the placement line. I then embroidered the highlight. I knew there was no way to make the highlight in fabric so thank you Kim again for stepping up to digitize my need. I used a whole piece of yellow gold fabric and placed the jellybeans randomly. I then stitched them on with my sewing machine.

With my quilting and sewing machines, I then quilted and sewed the binding on but haven’t embroidered his label. I quilted the outline of the jellybeans and then just meandered around. I’m just glad to have finished it even though he doesn’t need it right now, it’s so hot. Ninety degrees today! This summer we may all melt.😩 I have one more children’s quilt to quilt then I may can start a big one for my daughter. I don’t need it until Christmas but we all know how that goes. Christmas is always here before we know it. Have a nice Day-Toogie
