Another project finished - now I need a break

What a happy kitty, Irene. How did you do the satiny-looking edging? Is that binding or a clever machine stitch or what? Inquiring minds need to know. Sure is purty. Polly

I wanted to make her something special, as she loves animals, esp. bunnies...and I happened to have some animal embroideries, so....

If you'd like to see it, I've posted it under my "Quilts and other stuff" album on Webshots.

She'll love it, Irene. . In message , IMS writes

That's a beauty! I envy your co-worker, and I bet she loves the quilt.

That's a beautiful quilt and what a lovely gift! I need to get moving on the beachy wedding quilty thingy or I'll be in the same boat soon!

Oooh, the first one called Mary's Quilt? I like the gingham too.

Hi Polly, I think you mean the edging on the embroideries? It's a clever machine stitch :) This is the first time I've played with it and I've had my machine for two years. About time, heh?

-Irene

Two years? That sounds about right. Recently I saw a wonderful SM expert on SQ demonstrate a chenille stitch that happened simply by using the right foot and the right settings. Of course, she could do some really great stitching with strange threads in the bobbin. Sometimes she worked from the underside but that will take some real courage. And faith. Polly

Nice job. I'm sure she'll treasure it.

Beautiful, Irene! She'll love it.

What a great quilt for an animal lover, Irene! And how kind of you to have made it for your colleague. :)

Oh, Irene!! That is so cute!! But 2 weeks??!! Yikes. No wonder you need a break, you haven't slept in two weeks.
