Hello Quilt Friends!
Summer is delightful isn't it? And a new Grandson has been added to our family, healthy baby and mom. I'm so thankful!
This week I've been adding borders and unpicking other borders. I'm working on several different projects at the same time. When one gets tedious or my mind fizzles then I put that one down and pick up another.
My BB2 QAL project, Four Tiles with Borders, needed to have the last dark thin border unpicked and replaced with a lighter border. I just finished unpicking the dark border and now onto piecing the light replacement border. It will be much improved with the light border, giving a bigger and more open look.
Rail Fence Blocks with Borders made from scraps and orphan pieces, now has two borders and I love the Kona Cotton Banana Pepper yellow border, fits right in with summer!
A while back I was gifted with a peacock fancy trim remnant piece. It was a little frayed and I decided to add some metallic back tacking and thin sew in interfacing to some inside areas and chain stitches to the edges to give it some strength. It will go into my Stitch Journal with my embroidery samples and other pieces of my collected stitching and embroidery that are treasures.
That's the quilt news from the valley. How are you enjoying your summer?
And of course our friends down under are enjoying winter! I'll be by to visit!
