I finished binding this and it is on the table. Do you put labels on your finished table runners or toppers? I've put one on this but I haven't sewn it completely down. I'm thinking I might want to use the reverse side sometime so I'm considering removing the label. Scroll down this page to see what the reverse looks like.
I've got one set of threads to tie off on this wall hanging and then it is time to find a backing and quilt it. Now I wonder if I want to make another project from this Kim Schaefer's Calendar Quilts. I'm planning on quilting on Bernie rather than the long arm. It shouldn't take all that long once I get started. I will also be using a wider binding as the butterfly at the top will get lost under the hanger I plan to use so a wider binding should help her show.
FYI -- both of these quilts were made from my scraps, except the binding on the table topper. I ran out of the navy blue Kona. Once it was replenished I was able to finish this off.
The weather at the beach was pretty iffy for most of the days we were there. (Heck, we were only there for 48 hours and we got to the beach both days.) The humidity was relatively low until the day we left. Unfortunately, Natalie was sick when we got there. It turns out that a fever and throwing up are symptoms of strep throat which is what she had. Who knew? Jenny had plenty of ear infections and strep as a child but neither of us remember any nausea. Natalie is well on the road to recovery now.
Because I planned my goals for the amount of time I had available I was able to check off every item on the list this week.

ReplyDeleteYour projects look fantastic. Sorry your weekend included strep. It can indeed manifest itself in different ways...including nausea. Glad she is on the road to recovery. Have a great week! Andrea
ReplyDeletethe flowers are so cheery and look like summer, table mat is stunning speedy recovery I heard of a couple other s with strep now.
ReplyDeleteNo, I don't put labels on table runners or mats. I could sign it with a pen somewhere and call it a label, but I haven't.
ReplyDeleteOoh, I love the flower wall hanging - it looks fabulous.
Love your table topper and wall hanging. I made the wall hanging for July from Kim Schaefer's Calendar quilts and I made the one with the water melon and ants to use for August on my mom's wall in the nursing home. They are fun to make.
ReplyDeleteYou made nice progress on your Kim Schafer wall hanging, are you keeping this one? I like your table runner too, and no I don't label anything basically...I am lazy!!
ReplyDeleteLove the calendar quilt--so fun and happy!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you are linking up with Oh Scrap! We love to see your projects.
ReplyDeleteGlad Natalie is feeling better. Your projects look great. I can see why you would want to use the reverse of the table topper. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteLove the table topper! Very pretty. The wall hanging is so cute! Good luck on your goals this week.
