A Lovely Year of Finishes–August FINISHES

August 29, 2013 by persimondreams 2 Comments

YEAH!  That’s right I have FINISHED my goals for August – and yes – I have two days left until they had to be done!

My Button

Goal 1 – Bind my Scrappy Trip Along

 

IMG_1781All I had to do was bind my Scrappy Trip Along. I bound it with different scraps of red fabrics.  Well – when there are 414 inches to bind it takes a bit.  It was half way through the month and I was making very little progress on the hand stitching part of the binding.  So, I made a goal.  Every night I had to hand stitch one arms length of thread on the binding.  It took about 10 nights…but I did it!  My scrappy trip along is finishedIMG_2186!

 

Goal 2 – Baby Quilt for an Expecting Friend

A good friend of mine from my childhood is expecting her first baby.  I was unable to make it to her baby shower but I had to make her new bundle a quilt!  The jig is up though – she reads my blog and figured out this quilt is for her baby!  That’s okay – I’ve never been good with secrets nor have I never wanted to be.

IMG_2132Most of the quilting is simple straight line quilting but I did a little Free Motion Quilting to put ‘Baby Madsen’ under the book shelf. TIMG_2138

And here it is.  FINISHED!  The bookshelf fabric is ‘Study in Tawny Plum’ from Alexander Henry’s Somerville line – I bought it at Hawthorne’s Thread.  Does anyone know what charm pack I used!?  I can’t remember and no longer have the wrapping…

I backed the quilt in a cozy pink floral flannel.  It should be arriving in my friends mailbox any day now…  I can’t wait to hear what she thinks AND I can’t wait to hear the news of her little bundle expected to arrive in just a few weeks!

 

Next – I need to think about my goals for September…hmmm….

    WOW, Kim, this is so amazing and kind of you! The quilt looks beautiful and I feel so fortunate that she will have this handmade piece of art to grow up with. Thank you so much!
