Small finished and the next step to a bigger finish.





A couple of finishes and one not yet!

Some time ago,  I mentioned a use of flannel scraps. I had bits and pieces of leftovers from several baby quilts. So, I can't throw them, I made a good sized square.

Then it went back in the drawer.
Now that our great grands have moved it, and Miss B received another baby for Christmas......Gwamma needed to finish that project. I looked through my bin of larger flannel pieces and found a cute pink monkey print. It was big enough.

So I cut it to size, put right sides together, left an opening and did a flip and turn.  Then put bright pink thread on the machine, and did some decorative stitching around the edge and a serpentine stitch, in thirds.



It's being used and that is the goal, always!


And the only other "finish" was to get the label on my Bowtie quilt. Mr Busy and I took a quick road trip to South Dakota last weekend. A chance to get away for a bit and rest. So no sewing was done, but this hand work was completed yesterday at my Thursday Stitchers group!

There is a scrap of washi tape over the quilters last name and mine. Just for privacy!

Last but not least the final borders are on my 2019 Temperature Quilt. It needs to be backed and quilted. Then I will applique the year in the upper black border and add tiny buttons on the family birth dates. I am thinking about a stripe of the color range on the back. That isn't done yet, as I haven't decided on backing fabric and who will quilt this 51 x 52 quilt.


This is hanging in the hall at the bottom of our stairs. I can't get far enough to get it all in one shot. So here is the top 2/3s and:


here is the bottom 2/3s. You can see the end of the railing on the right! GEE!

None of these are necessarily post worthy, certainly not Whoop Whoop worthy, but at least they are documented.

I'll link up to Finished or Not Friday at Alycia Quilts
and to Can I Get a Whoop Whoop at Confessions of a Fabric Addict.    (I apologize for the linky photo, the crop confused me!:(

Stay Busy and Stay Happy

  1. I really like your version of the temperature quilt--especially those blue/white mottled squares that just seem to float...nice work hugs, Julierose

  2. Such a cute way to use up your flannel scraps, and, of course, baby needs her own quilt! I really like your temperature quilt, too! I think you live in a bit cooler area. :)
