This is the customer quilt that I quilted yesterday! A childhood friend of my brother, hand pieced it. I think he injured his back years ago and quilts occasionally to stay busy. As I mentioned, he hand pieced this one. I also will be doing the binding, which I will work on that today. That is pretty much all that I have on my schedule for the day. That will take up pretty much all of my day as I need to trim, square it up, cut and sew the binding by hand.
As soon as I got that quilted, I whipped up this pineapple table runner. I used the Pineapple Trim Tool to make this. It worked out really well, I just had to take my time and it was pretty easy. I do plan on making a pineapple quilt after my holiday rush is over so this was practice. I am thinking that when I make the quilt, I will switch the color placement as this seems like a lot of blue. LOL
In my last post I mentioned that I forgot to take photos of two t-shirt quilts. Well...I did find a photo of one of them. :)
So today I will be hand sewing binding most of the day. I am taking off Thanksgiving Day, then the rest of the weekend. We have dinner at mom's on Thanksgiving and dinner with my MIL on Saturday. So the rest of the time I will be putting up my Christmas decor. By the time Thanksgiving comes around I will have quilted for 38 DAYS STRAIGHT!!!! So I could really use a couple of days of not quilting. LOL! Then I will get back at it...
