Mom finished assembling her HST diamond top yesterday and I got it loaded on the longarm today. Brief instructions for this one is on my website.
If it looks familiar, it’s because it’s just like mine … The same size, using the same fabrics. I’d already gotten it about half quilted before it was time to walk Finn and give him his afternoon break!
Before I got it loaded, I cut strips for Mom to make a log cabin runner and she started piecing while I was quilting. She going to appliqué some bears and trees on this one.
She also finished binding that turtle quilt last night – I’ll get a photo of the whole quilt when Keith gets home and can hold it up outside for me but I’ll share a photo of Mom binding it … you’re going to see a lot of Mom binding this trip because my goal is to quilt 7 tops for her!
My word… are you gals taking any time out to eat or sleep? I’m IMPRESSED!
Productive and loving every minute of it from the sound of it.
Keep working, ladies. You make a great team!
I love this post. I enjoy seeing your mother. I am so happy for her and for you that she has an interest in quilting. I often wonder how people navigate elder age if they have no “hobbies”.
