Chic Picnic - quilted & bound & labeled. Many of the fabrics in this have special meaning for me, so the whole time I was hand stitching the binding I just felt... happy.
The fabrics are so busy that the time spent to custom quilt this was wasted, but since it's mine... I figure I'm worth it.
I used up some random fabrics on the back.
In keeping with the "word" theme of the quilt, I included my QUILT GIRL comic strip yardage. (Spoiler alert: she saved the day.)
I made two kids drag-around quilts which I'll donate to the Catholic Children's Aid. A big pat-myself-on-the-back for the mitered striped border on the right.
It was a few years ago that a friend gave me the panel, the border print, and a half meter of the stripe. I had the remnants of a whole bolt of the stripe in my own stash, so I used it on the back.
Sixteen placemats quilted for Meals on Wheels.
I completed eight out of fifteen items on my list, and the day is not over yet. I've already taken Sadie for her walk (brrr - chilly wind!) and DH has supper under control, so this afternoon I will tackle the mending pile.
