May is slipping by fast, and I haven't done a whole lot of quilting this month, but I have hemmed a few bridesmaids' dresses and worked on a lovely prom dress! It seems like since I retired from the quilt shop my schedule hasn't been as consistent and I haven't spent as much time as I would like making quilts! That said, I did manage to get the borders on this one.
I wasn't sure I liked it for a while, but it's really starting to grow on me! I have picked out some fabrics to use for the backing, so need to sew them together and I'll be ready for quilting. It's been a while since I did any free-motion quilting, so I hope I haven't lost my muscle memory!
I've been doing quite a bit of compute work, revamping some of my patterns. I've written quite a few that I only sold through the quilt shop, so have been making new covers for them to spruce them up and get them in my Etsy shop as well as on QuiltWoman.com. This one is All Wrapped Up - an easy panel quilt pattern. I really think it's cute using the Holly Jolly Pattern by Northcott!
Do you have plans for the upcoming Memorial Day weekend? If quilting is on your agenda, make sure you check out my blog on Thursday for a special announcement - it'll be perfect for those patriotic projects you want to make!
I hope you are being more productive than I am!
