I'm back from last Summer 2019 Vacation.

and almost nothing done with a needle.  What I did do was hand stitch a sleeve to this 2008 quilt.

It's my china plate quilt about 45" by 55".  It would have been longer,  but I forgot to put a white strip above each row of dishes.   Didn't notice till the top was all done.  I quilted the letter N in each center of the plates.  This was a quilt as you go project. Now it can hung on a wall.

So of course my stitching time has changed very little. Here goes:

15 minute days/week = 2/7 days

15 minute days/August = 12/17 days

15 minute days/2019 = 165/231

Success rate = 71.43%

 Destashed .03 yds with that sleeve, so YTD total is now 44.56 yards. I'm linking to Sunday Stash, 15 Minutes to Stitch, and Slow Sunday Stitching.  Hope you did better than I. PS had a great time in Colorado - will report on that this Thursday.  Blessings,

Some of This; Some of That 8/11/2019

Finished quilting that top - already delivered.

I almost kept this scrap bag quilt. But it's going to St. Anne's (SA).

Two St. Anne's members gave me tops to add borders to:
This first one is a design which two SA members came up with when I handed them a bag of scraps.

I took a photo of their design so that I could adhere to it as much as possible. What with lengths, dimensions, and loss of fabric to seams, this is what I was able to come up with.

Measures 34" by 36" Needed to add a border to make it large enough.  I have enough of the red to possibly bind it.  What do you think?

The second one just needed a slight border to bring to size.  It's 34" by 36".

I think the center pieces needed a bit more contrast, but that's what was in the scrap bag.

I'm linking to some linky parties.  You can find them under the header tab by the same name.  Blessings,
