Saturday, the 23rd was Leia's birthday, and we had a nice visit but the quilt is still not ready to be gifted. As of now, 32 of the 58 blocks have been quilted, and there will still be borders to do. The stitching is mostly slow stabbing and not very even. My daughter, Norie, (her mom) came by the following week and finished off another block ... her stitches looking a lot better than mine!
I have another baby quilt on my "to do list" and am hoping I can get to it before the baby comes in June.
What a lucky girl Leia is! She will get a beautiful quilt to keep her warm.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work, Julie.
I hope to see you at the quilt show in Ueno Park on 13th April.

It was such a blessing to share time together at Ueno. Inner border now quilted. On to the uter one.
DeleteAlways lovely to have something to snuggle under!
ReplyDeleteYes, her parents will get their kotatsu cover back ... but it will be too warm for a kotatsu by then.
DeleteWhat a lovely photo. It looks like Leia is happy with the quilt and I expect she'll be even happier when she receives it. It's good to hear of your progress Julie.
ReplyDeleteI hope to get it done by the end of the month.
DeleteSweet photo and gorgeous quilt!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteLovely quilt and what fun to snuggle together! Have missed your blog notes and hope you are doing well!
ReplyDeleteThanks. With a busy work schedule and travel time, blogging gets pushed down the list too often.
DeleteThat is a wonderful quilt and I can't imagine, your stitching being bad, always love what you stitch. That is a sweet photo of the two of you.
ReplyDeleteStab stitching is hard to get even, so rather frustrating. Does not improve with time either. I'll never choose that batting again!
DeleteIt's good to hear from you; you have been busy. Leia has the fun of looking forward to her finished quilt.
ReplyDeleteHoping to finish it up by the end of the month, and it should work well as the weather is getting a bit warmer.
DeleteBeautiful quilt. So nice to see you and your grandaughter.
ReplyDeleteThanks. It was fun to share her birthday, even with the quilt a bit behind.
