Had a good sleep in this morning. It felt so good after so many early mornings this last week. After a good breakfast and a strong cup of coffee and a few snuggles with Bender and Rico, I headed off to a local Quilt store to pick up the quilts I had one of the workers there bind for me.
While I was there I picked up a couple half yards of Australian Aboriginal prints to line the two Frankenbags I’ll make from the trimmings from my living room quilt.
Those will be some bold linings! I’m a firm believer that the lining of a bag is no place to scrimp! If. you look a the very bottom right of that bag body, you’ll see both of those fabrics.
I played pickleball after the fabric store and I had a blast! I played really well… I was aggressive and agile and played really hard. Several people commented on how well I was playing. I won nearly every game this afternoon. I was a sweaty mess when I was done.
When I got home I pulled out the quilts I had picked up to take a gander. And I have to say, I’m really happy with the job she did. They are finished beautifully!
It was especially wonderful to see this quilt done because it gave me such fits when I was sewing the top together.
I like that little big of orange and pink binding on that field of back and white.
I’m happy to see the whole picture on this one and am so glad it’s all done!
I really love that backing. It’s so cheerful.
Here are the other four quilts.
On this one the binding is the same as the baking fabric.
Same with this one. The purple binding is also on the back.
Mmmmm. I love all that orange.
This purple and red one was the one my friend and I made a couple summers ago when she was visiting. It’s about time this is done.
So much red.
And the last one is the one that I’ve had sitting around the longest. I really love this little quilt.
It poured all day again today. We’ve gotten close to two more inches of rain this weekend. Luckily, it cleared up after dinner tonight and I was able to get my boys and myself out for a nice walk. It was still really wet out there even though no rain was falling.
Busy week of work coming up. And when I’m able to I’ll be playing pickleball. It really helps me deal with the stress of work. It’s so good for me.
