Spring and Summer are calling for outdoor activities which always leads to a slump in hand quilting but I have managed to keep sight of my goal which is to get Jane’s Quilt finished. Excited to report that I have begun working on the binding after completeing all of the quilting. At our last posting I shared this picture of the quilt completely quilted.

I have begun the binding. With a good portion of the backing left over I have simply turned it over and created the binding with it. I have just about completed one of the four sides. If I can stay on track, and not get distracted with a few other projects I hope to have her completed by next posting.

In addition to Jane’s quilt, I have been working on a baby quilt for my granddaughter who is expecting a girl in August. I don’t believe I have shown you this quilt. In my favorite pattern – pinwheel, I used all scap material from my stash. As with Jane’s Quilt, I just need to turn the backing over to make the binding. I’m thinking of adding some lace trim for an extra girlie feel.


These two have kept me pretty busy these past 3 weeks. Now I am off to check in with the others in this HQAL. There are some fabulous projects in the works and I would love for you to join me. You can do so by clicking on the links below.
