I did however manage to finish three mini tree quilts as belated wedding gifts:
They each measure about 16" x 20" |
I actually finished them weeks ago, all but the hanging sleeve on one and labels on two. I don't remember when I finally sewed them on, but I'm glad they're finished. All I need to do is cut dowels for hanging, find some mailing tubes, track down all three addresses, and then take them the 9 miles to the closest post office.
Hopefully it doesn't take me all of December to mail these out. All they do is shift around in my sewing room as I try to finish my currently quilting/sewing projects so I can start some new ones.
This was the first one I made, to see how it would go. I decided I liked it better with just the first initials, so that's all I put on the other two. |
I got my original idea from here, and then saw several other copy cat quilts, here and here.
This one doesn't lay as flat as it should due to the slightly thicker batting. |
I didn't have enough solid brown or tan (which I've since remedied) for the third one, so I used some faux bois print fabric I already had from Joann's. W is not a fun letter to quilt. |
From left to right: finished, done with the quilting, and ready to be quilted. |
Well, here's to new beginnings (and getting my sewing table cleaned off)!
I love love love these Renee!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Chelsea! I've been thinking they would make cute baby initial and birth date quilts...which one is your favorite? ;-)
