Bindings and kitties

 I finished the bindings on 2 more quilts over the weekend. The Matthew quilt is bound,washed and ready for it's owner to be born...she is due in about 3 weeks. I used the light blue that I used in the checkerboard for the binding. I love how they crinkle up after washing.

 The Diamond Rehash is bound and washed as well. I'm not sure where it will go yet, maybe over my chair. Even though this was made with the leftovers from another quilt, it has its own beauty. Sometimes those are the best!

 I went to Seams to Be Quilt Shoppe in Plattsmouth on Sunday. I found these 3 fabrics that I think will work with the others in the Hollow Cube quilt.

 I was laying out fabrics so that I could take a picture and Conrad jumped right in to help. He must love yellow or something!

 I did find some good yellows! They are hard to find sometimes.

What is it about cats and fabric?  He finally ran off to attack play with Smokey.

I am teaching one of the monthly Sampler Clubs tonight...it's a great bunch of ladies!

Binding...it always ends with binding...

I decided to sew together the bindings for the baby quilt and the Diamond Rehash last night. I had some pattern printing to do, so figured I could sew, and press in between printing.

I did get the patterns printed, but this is as far as the bindings got. They sort of look like a kitty nest, don't they? They won't take long to press tonight. 

Quilting Diamond Rehash with a new design...

 I have been wanting to get the Diamond Rehash quilt quilted for awhile now. It's a throw made from the leftovers from the St. Mark's Quilt.

I have also been wanting to try out this new panto. I like to try out new designs on smaller quilts. I used matching blue thread on the back and a bright multicolored thread on the front so it blends well. 

Maybe too much, as it is hard to see how the pattern turned out! 

I love this little quilt and have plans for it....at MY house! Not sure what I am going to bind with. I want to get it made and finished!

You can see the pattern a little better on the back.

My spring break is over and it's back to work for me today! Catch up with you later!

Mini Diamond quilt bordered...Happy H and Dotty I

I got the border on the Mini Diamond quilt. It is throw size, about 54" square. Now to get it quilted. I am going to make the binding later so it is ready. I think I will do scrappy.

 I made some progress on quilting Rachel's asian Circle and Spin this morning. I really like the design  I am using. I will try to get some good pix when I am finished.

 Such a Happy little H and a dotty I.

 I ended up making an extra set of H and I out of the dotty fabric. I wanted to make a lower case I as well...they are so cute! Monday will be an exciting day, the very jaunty letter J!
