I've been quilting most of the day today! I am sooooo tired and my right hip is killing me but I'm sure I will live over it! :) I quilted this quilt today, my sister is buying it for a gift for her boyfriend's parents. The pattern is called "Four Patch Flip" a very simple pattern and I enjoyed piecing it. I pieced it a year or so ago, but just quilted it today. It is the one that she picked out from my pile of quilt tops. Tomorrow I hope to get the binding done!
Tomorrow I also hope to get another quilt top pinned on and started! It is a HUGE quilt for my mom. I posted about it here! I tried to quilt it last month and the backing was too small after I got it pinned on. Not sure if I can get Mom's quilted before Christmas, it is 120" long!!! If I'm able to get it quilted there is noway that I can get the binding done. So what I will probably do is, if I get it quilted then I will go ahead, wrap it up and give it to her, then take it back home and do the binding. I'm sure one that size will take me a few days to bind.
I feel very Blessed to have sold some of my quilts this month, just in time for Christmas money!! As of right now, I have sold 13 quilts! Some were already quilted, some were tops that I had to quilt, and a couple I had to piece and quilt them. So I have been very busy but also very thankful. And on top of these quilts that were bought, I have 5 that will be given away for gifts at Christmas! Hopefully after Christmas I can dig up photos of them all and put them in a post!
Well, I'm off......got to cut and press some binding for this quilt. I would like to machine sew it on tonight and do the hand work tomorrow.
PS.....I promise to get caught up on blogs after Christmas!!!!
