I’ve made a lot of progress on two of my projects.
The collaboration quilt with my sister Anne, most recently blogged about here, is layered and partially quilted. I quilted a grid of lines 2 to 3 inches apart with a medium red thread. Now I’m adding more lines with a copper-gold variegated thread, and a black thread. I’m not sure how many more lines I’ll add; I’ve asked Anne what she thinks before I do more. (That’s black batting and red backing, not borders. We’re probably going to face it, with no border or binding.)
The low volume baby quilt, last blogged about here, is looking great – exactly how I envisioned it. I’ve sewn all the rows together except for one seam to join the top 4 rows to the bottom 5 rows. Before I do that, I’m going to fuse some ‘words of wisdom’ to the bottom section and zigzag stitch around each letter. Then I’ll layer the quilt and do some straight-line quilting – I’m thinking a triangle shape starting near the center and spiraling out.
Thanks for stopping by. Today, I’m linking up with these blogs – click on the links below, where you’ll find many creative and inspirational projects.
Hi Terry! Thanks for visiting my website! I am enjoying reading about your process. Nice to see you again.

What a great idea to add the words to that low volume quilt. I really like how you showed the process photo of choosing the green fabrics for the letters, too. I know you’re already participating in several link-ups as you listed above, but wanted to mention the one I’m trying to get some traction on with our blog. On Friday’s I’m hosting Crafty Comment Karma where people a link to any crafting, quilting or sewing post and then ALSO comment on the posts of three others from the link-up! My goal is to help build up our online community, not just with the “big” crafters or quilters, but all of us! Would love to have you join in, here’s the link to our latest one. http://www.prairiesewnstudios.com/2015/03/crafty-comment-karma-crafting-community_27.html
They both look great!
