Hello

 

I’m reluctant to share this before the binding is done, but next Friday it will be hanging in our quilt show. So here goes. I started this project in  October 2018. I’m a good starter. Not so much of a good finisher. I purchase the pattern, from Shabby Fabrics, intent on using us some Christmas scraps. 

I started by cutting the light background rectangles from muslin. Then tracing the designs for embroidery in black.  Some progress was made as this Post on Feb 3, 2019 shows.  Then by September 6th there was this. 

Some progress photos:

March 27th 2020  there was this. 

 Then this: what for a border?   None are right. 

A trip to the fabric store….. I chose the black and red buffalo check

Finally this: 

I waited for a special friend to give it her special touch with the long arm. But medical issues caused a pause. Then I finally delivered it to her, a month later  she had to return it unfinished due to early onset stenosis of her spine. 

In June this year I dropped it off at Blue Bike Quilt Studio , my LQS. Deanna does fabulous work. There were several quilts ahead of mine. 

Last Thursday the 19th of September she had it finished. Then there was binding to attach. 

And now it is almost finished. Mr Busy holding up in the bright sunshine today. You will notice the row of wonder clips along the bottom. Almost Finished. 

Stay Busy and Stay Happy and Healthy and Hopeful.
