Happy Tuesday!
From the Pacific NW where wild fire smoke is in the air. Soon the rains will come.
This week I finished my butterfly small quilt, 20" x 25". I roughly followed Fig Tree and Company's pattern, Mini Painted Ladies. I added my own border treatment, 3 borders in fact, and made the butterfly bodies the length of the block.
I had planned to use black and white striped seer sucker for the binding but once I got it sewed on and started hand stitching the other side down, I didn't like it, too dark. So I unpicked it and took it off. The binding in Kona cotton solid 'snow' looks much better. And it's finished!
I also like the hand quilted look on this small quilt much better than the machine quilting I first quilted it with. And yes, as I explained in an earlier post, I unpicked the machine quilting on this little quilt. A lot of work has gone into this but the results are worth it.
And that's the news from the shire, where company keeps us busy and projects are getting done.
I'll be by to visit.
