Just a quickie post before I leave for retreat weekend.
This is my April Chookshed Stitcher project...and finish! Someday I'll remember to straighten things out before photographing them but (there's always an excuse, isn't there?) I took this photo while zooming last night and just kind of laid it on the bed in the sun and - done!
This is obviously a small one and while I chose projects that needed to be finished this one was a new start. And finish. The piece I used for the binding was color perfect with a dash of red and I do love this little thing. And the truth squad will make me admit to machine piecing and quilting it. New to me for sure.
I absolutely loved this blue strawberry for years and just didn't want to cut it up. But as we said last night during zoom, we aren't getting any younger, we have a lot of money tied up in our stashes and in the end our kids would rather disperse our finished quilts than put our stashes in an estate sale. I decided when choosing this little piece that if I used the blue strawberry it would not get lost.
Wonderful zoom last night, too! Now, off to retreat weekend.
Darling small quilt, I love the blue strawberries. I think I need to go through my stash and find all the things I particularly love and use them. I think that would be a lot more satisfying that saving them.
