"Weezie's Scrappy Quilt" Update

24 May 2012

I lost my Missy Sari dog and Freedom Ring the Cat within two weeks of each other. It has been very quiet around this house.
The future promises two tabby kittens, Miss Liberty and Miss Belle, to be my new quilting "helpers"!

I played with the colors after loading the pictures and messed them up. Learned something!
"Make It Your Way" all finished! That means the binding is finished as of 6:30 this afternoon!

  "Leap Year In The Lowveld"
 Appliqued, pieced, embellished, quilted, bound and posted - a favorite quilt!
Detail of one corner of "Leap Year..." Used two different prints for binding; used buttons and embellishments to "add interest" but really to hide goofs. elc

One day I might tell the tale of making "Weezie's Scrappy Quilt", especially with all the help I had from Freedom Ring. And I thank Ely and the NY Giants for their Super Bowl win - that game got my through the "messy" part. elc
