A Charity Finish....

This fun quilt top was sent to me awhile ago as a donation to the Carolina Quilt Project.

I quilted it using a circular pantograph which I think complimented the geometric fabric patterns.

The binding was done in a solid black.

I have this little guy here for a week of Grammy Camp and plan to get the binding sewn down during our quiet afternoon movie time (no more naps when are five!). Then in the mail it goes. 

Enjoying summer, grand guy fun and a little bit of sewing.

Summer Quilting....

Good thing about having an empty studio is having plenty of room to prep quilts....

We have an Open House to promote our house sale this weekend, and I plan to keep my long-arm up until our house does sell. With that said, I plan to use my summer sew time to quilt the two charity quilts I have committed to and the few finished tops I do have before I take down my long-arm for an upcoming extended period of time. I did finish quilting my Anne Downs yesterday and just need to bind it before I share it here. I'm also hoping to finish sewing my Lori Holt Bee Happy top as it would be perfect to hang in the laundry room of our new home and I'd like to create a lap quilt for my mom before Lizzie goes into deep hibernation. 

Honestly, this is really the first time in our downsizing process that I find myself wondering how much I'll miss the convenience of my studio? Time will tell, as I'm sure I will in some ways. But in others, I continue to find myself embracing this transformation in my life. Stay tuned!

And for those of you still hanging on with me...we count our change July 6th!
