Hello Cuties, I thought I’d check in today. Life has been busy and I haven’t sewn since before Christmas. You all know that’s so unlike me.
My sister Sheila, has been at her house here, since before Christmas. She wanted to make a baby quilt for a young girl at church. She made the top with her scraps. The fabric she wanted to use for the backing wasn’t large enough, so she asked me if I could add another fabric all around the green clover. I told her I could but I just hoped I could lay the top on centered and the back border not look wonky.
I think she’s happy with it. I quilted my usual meander or stippling and bound it with a 2 1/2 inch folded over binding, with the same border fabric. It’s a pretty paisley and the color of the clover blooms.
I sent her these pictures and she says she thinks it came out pretty and said she knows the girl will appreciate it. I didn’t know when she is returning to her other home in Missouri, but I wanted to finish it for her because the girl is due in April.
I hope everyone is doing well. Please keep our family in prayer. ❤️Toogie
Ps. You see that dark spot on the green? I don’t know what it is. I told her I saw it when I was pressing the fabric to square it up. It had left a spot on my ironing board cover. Whatever it is, is yellow. I tried Oxiclean after she wanted to go ahead with the quilting. I think it lightened some but still shows. Any idea what else to try?
I wouldn't worry about it either, after a few washes it might disappear and as Betsey has said - it's the back!!! Love Chris
I glad to hear Speed Queens are made better now. Our first washing machine was a SQ and the first year, before I got it paid off, it had to be repaired. I had nothing but trouble with it but that was over 50 years ago. Good to know a real someone with a good review.
