Sorry I haven't posted in so long. It's been a depressing time. I will try to be more dependable in the future.
I lost my sweet furbaby, Oodles 2 weeks ago Friday... I miss her SO much. 17 years was not enough time. RIP sweet kitty.
On the quilting front, I've been working on quilts for two friends, one recovering from surgery and one just entering chemo. Here is one of them (for the chemo patient):
This pic is pre-quilting. It's now been quilted with purple thread with leaves and flowers... very pretty job. Friend of mine who has a computerized longarm machine did it for me. It looks great!. I am working on the binding now, but because the intended recipient is allergic to cats, I'm trying to do most of the work away from home. Tomorrow at my mini-group's sew-in, hopefully I can get it done.
Second quilt is based on Venetian floor tiles and is made with book fabrics for a printer and bookmaker. Hope he likes it... I should get it back from the quilter tomorrow or very soon if not that soon.
Neither one knows they are about to get a quilt.
