Some Friday Finishers are regular visitors to my blog. To you, I apologize! Just click back out and visit some other’s. You seen this already. But to some who only join me at Alycia’s Finished or Not Fridays, read on.
I have been in my sewing room.....lots of smallish starts and finishes.
Some of you may remember the crumb project I mentioned early in the month. It ended up being 36 X 24.
It has a premade cover that is of a loosely woven white fabric and it fits very tight. I think, every time I try to put it on, that I am going to break a seam open or worse yet stick my finger through the fabric.
So I decided to make a cover for it that would fit it closed or open. Mr Busy and I share two rooms in the basement that were originally bedrooms. He builds with balsa wood. Lots of sawing and sanding. Lots of sawdust etc. I have a cover for my machine and the cutter needed one too. The crumb slab ( scraps from my cutting table and some donated wedges from a friend) was backed with a very ugly striped sheet. Quilted with my go-to serpentine stitch, but no batting. It is flimsy but not heavy. Then bound in yellow, of course.
It's got plenty of hang over when the cutter is closed.!
And it covers it completely when it is open. It could have been a bit shorter. But too big is better than not big enough, right?
A peek at the ugly fabric I used for the back!
Little Ducky Duddle, wading in a puddle in the rain will cheer me every time I walk into my sewing room.
It’s a finish that I haven’t shared on FONF (Finished or Not Friday). And it’s the only one lately.
Hopefully the Gift Quilt for my nephew will be back from the quilter soon! If I get binding constructed today, she offered to attach it for me. I’m going to try! It’s warming up in Wyoming! 68 today, but is a bit windy. There is sun though, so that’s a PLUS!
That's quite the complicated crumb project, Judy!!! Great job!!! That's rather surprising that the cover that comes with your Go is really too small!
ReplyDeleteI'm still so impressed with that GO cutter. Mine was a mini in comparison, but surprisingly heavy, so I can't imagine how much yours weighs. Love that crumb project!
ReplyDeleteLove your crumb quilt..they are a perfect no fuss, no headache kind of stitching. Also such a cute little chick. I'm envious of your GO cutter. I wonder if I should get one.
ReplyDeleteLove it!!! How do you like your cutter? I hear lots of good things!!!
