I have been home for a week from my second set of travels for this year. First week was a sewing retreat with my bestie and the second week was hanging out with family for my first grandsons baptism.
While on retreat I was standing in line to pay at a quilt store and saw the cutest Mini Quilt. I decided to start it at retreat.
I used fusible web and hand blanket stitched around the stars.
I stitched in the ditch in the center of the quilt and did a meander in the border. Lovely navy binding. I decided to do a big stitch by hand around the perimeter of the center. I think it looks grand. I am thrilled to have this mini finished and not in the UFO pile. I like the idea of embroidery more than I actually like doing it. Mainly because it is slow. So glad I plowed through for the finish.
Thank you so much for visiting. Hopefully I will have a few months at home now. I need to quilt some large quilt tops.
Until next time
Chantal
