I have spent the last 10 days with my oldest daughter. She is a new quilter and with some use or loose vacation time came home to get some private lessons. I think we did a great job on quilting, binding, and lots of shopping trips too.
She came with the lower runner grey and yellow runner pieced, got it quilted and the first of several lessons on bindings. The purple/lavender table topper was a lesson in hexagon piecing.
She also arrived with the upper runner pieced and quilted, but also with Halloween fabric to make a friend's young son a table runner for his home. Again lessons in quilting and especially binding.She came with this quilt top completed for her husband, lessons in preparing it for quilting, quilting it, and binding it.And our final project, she completed this quilt top and we quilting it. Ready for her to head home and bind it. We think she really did get a lot of projects completed. Plus our shopping trips and a bit of a shopping in my stash of fabric and patterns to take home.A trip home includes a family gathering with her two sisters and all the rest of the family 17 strong, even got the dog in with us. We had a wonderful time even had time to take in a high school foot ball with one of the boys. Great score too, they beat the other team 35 to 6.

ReplyDeleteVery impressive how many quilts, toppers and runners your daughter managed to churn out during her vacation. All this while visiting with family.
ReplyDeleteAwesome family grouping - kids and dogs! I'm envious that your daughter has an interest in quilting. Neither of mine want to do any quilting, but they do love being a recipient.
ReplyDeleteYes, she did get lots accomplished ! I’m like Sara, my daughter doesn’t sew at all! All my family loves to receive. So glad you were able to make memories!
