Last week I spent a couple of days at my sister's house sewing. Well a lot of time was spent holding the baby but that was totally to be expected.
I was able to bang out my vintage sheet quilt top in the two days I was there. Since it is a super simple pattern – just 8 1/2" blocks sewn into rows.
I am pleased with my humble little quilt. Now if I could only find someone to quilt it. I have fully admitted to feeling intimidated by taking it in to be quilted since I am not a serious quilter.
I did put a feeler out to one quilter but I haven't heard back from her yet. Oh the angst – I'm sure she is just busy but when one is already feeling anxious it does feel like ones insecurities were totally justified.
I will say that it did turn out exactly how I wanted it to. Pretty, muted colors, lots of white. My plan is to back it in plain white and do a plain white binding. Nicki had the idea of incorporating a narrow crotcheted edge to it. Now that would be adorable, wouldn't it?
Edited to add: I was contacted by the quilter I initially emailed! Whoot! I'm having a slightly Sally Field-ish moment here…
Just lovely… like the perfect summer day.
*IF* I quilted I would certainly help you out here, but I don’t. Hope someone answers you soon to cut down on the angst!
I love the colors. Very cozy. Can’t wait to see it quilted. Happy Monday!
You could always go to Debbie at Prairie Queens in San Jose. I know she would do a lovely job for you.
I got a kick out of your post! I’ve been there. My apologies. It’s just beautiful!! Oh my, I love how soft and pretty it looks!! Love all your milky white glassware too!!
Can’t wait to see it all quilted. Glad it turned out just how you wanted it and you did a great job!
