And the best thing about this post is I've succeeded on my One Monthly Goal for December finish quilting Jamestown Landing. Yeehaw! Here are the pics as I quilted my Jamestown Landing. I had finished the first two rows when I took this picture. I used Melody, one of my favorite quilting designs. And, I have now named my turquoise version of Jamestown Landing "Sea Glass." Thanks to Nancy at Wyoming Breezes for suggesting the quilt looked like sea glass.
All the quilting is done and it's coming off the frame.
Friday I made the binding and Saturday I stitched it on by machine. And, amazingly enough I also made and attached the label before I stitched the binding. Sometimes the whole binding is sewn by machine but this time I'm hand stitching the second side. About half is done and the last part will be done by the end of News Years Eve! I'm sure I will be successful. I was tickled to find this cute binding fabric in my stash.
Here's how I did with my goals, this last week of 2018.

Congratulations on your Sea Glass quilt. It is truly beautiful. Good luck with your 2019 goals. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteBonnie, it is so beautiful! I even love the thread color. Getting the right pattern with the right thread color is hard sometimes.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on achieving your goals. It sure feels good, doesn't it.
I love how your Jamestown Landing came out!!! I'll be working on my Jamestown Landing, once my Gypsy Wife comes off the design wall that is!
