Oh I know I am a little slow getting this report posted for FNWF hosted by
Cheryll but as the saying goes better late than never. My Friday night stitching consisted of a few hours of handstitching down the binding on my Craftsy BOM Quilt for 2016 . This quilt was a year long journey for me , a lot of work but so enjoyable to do . After the top was complete I took it to the church where we hand quilted it , that takes a couple of months since we only quilt on Tuesdays. We finished the quilting last Tuesday and I immediately went to work and got the binding sewn on . It took several evenings to finish sewing down the binding so I stitched along with my Aussie friends then along with my American friends . Here is the finished project .j
I love how the hand quilting adds dimension to the quilt . Thanks to the ladies of Holy Name Quilters for helping me quilt my quilt , great job ladies !
I have been playing catch up on my Splendid Sampler blocks so I will share a few here now .
So that is about all for now , I must run but thanks for stopping by , I really appreciate your visits .
Hugs Sheila
Your quilt is beautiful. Lovely SS blocks. Hugs, xx

Great job, Sheila. I remember seeing that BOM, but I promptly forgot about it. I was thinking about you when I bought some fabric on vacation. I'm going to have a go at making a landscape quilt. I want to try to recreate a photo that I took while on vacation. I may have some questions for you!!
ReplyDeleteYour BOM is gorgeous Sheila - well done on the finish - how nice to spend time quilting with friends, working on each other's quilts. Your SS blocks are looking really good :-) I do love the fabrics you are using.
