More than a Quilter?

 Remember when someone said," Don't ask 

a quilter to mend?"

  Well , of course everyone does!

Here is my most recent crazy mends. 

Big, bad Boomer must have had 

a wild hair!  


Here he is doing yoga! (Down Dog)

He ran into the bedroom , 

jumped on the bed and

tried to dig a hole!

The duvet cover is well shredded,


and the feather duvet is being 

held together with a chip clip!



Life with pets!

Upon inspection, I see I already 

mended it once!

There will have to be a fabric 

addition for this fix. One 

more disaster and it will become

dust rags! The DIL  likes to use things

up so I don't mind the mend!

Life with pets! Now on with the quilting!

Like many others, I have 

been out and about the past few weeks. 


I did quilt small, with a friend in trailer.

They reside at a beautiful site on Gull Lake. 

Here is my quilting " to go" kit.



Everything needed to travel sew is either 

inside the machine case or bag.



The Lulu bags covers my featherweight!



I included 2 projects, one just needs assembly.

 The second is all scraps so really can be

anything as the feeling moves me. 

My recent finishes look like this!


Two of these five quilts got backs and bindings!
All got personalized labels. 


One older top even needed some remediation!
Older UFOs (maybe just mine), often need some 
TLC. The outside seams pull apart or they 
get a mysterious spot from being carted 
to so many places in anticipation of completion!




Finished up this beauty for my DIL too!



Layered using a beautiful matching fireside.
Turned out wonderfully!


This stack is off to Saskatchewan
 for friends and family.
So much more to share,
more posts in the works!

Stay safe and sew on !

  1. It is always good to store quilt tops that are not quite done or done with stay stitching around the outside edges, 1/8" in so the seams do not come undone. If you take you quilts to a long-armer to get quilted they will really like you! It saves them the job of doing that.

    1. Yes I have just started doing that in the last few years. The trouble with those old UFOs, we have learned a lot since we started them!
      Stay Safe and sew on!
