Wedding Quilt (Phase 1)
Wedding Gift Quilt
A work in progress
Our nephew is getting married in September of this year. Happy Happy news! Then the date filters through the brain to the reality section - SEPTEMBER - Yikes!. It is already April. This means hand quilting in the SUMMER.
Consult mental check list. Finish a graduation quilt for May. Make 4 Xmas decorations “Home for Santa” boxes*~*, get started on making Xmas cards, finish the top of a baby quilt, then finish for tying. The top is done for Xmas present quilt - needs to be quilted. Fit in a wedding gift- no problem-fingers crossed. Do not dwell on hand quilting in summer.
Now i have finished the graduation quilt—a year early—it has been put in a safe place for till next spring, and an “X” marks the spot is posted on the frig! The baby quilt top is done, have 3 of the 4 boxes for Santa homes, started gathering paper and trimmings into a project box, and have started the wedding quilt.
*~*These boxes our for our kids. I am downsizing my Xmas decorations. Bought a new 30″ Santa last December. Giving away 4 - 21/2″ Santa’s. My husband commented, “Strange way of downsizing”, forgetting whose idea it was o get the new Santa!
Next time phase 2 of a quilt during summer.
