It was a busy weekend for me and my sister. Babysitting two young nieces/grandchildren. They were good, but busy. By the end of Monday evening, we were all tired. Everyone was very happy to see the parents back home. Everyone. You know what I mean! LOL
Anyway, the final applique triangles were sewn onto this top. This top is done and I must get busy marking for machine quilting. Just simple straight lines. Nothing fancy. A little girl will be moving to a big girl bed this summer and it would be nice for her to have her quilt.
Do you remember me lamenting about not buying more of that fabulous stripe fabric? Well, on a trip to Sudbury (1-1/2 hr. drive away from me) last week, a very quick stop into the quilt store and 2 metres more were bought. The store owner was just in the process of closing her shop to go for an appointment, but I was able to convince her to just cut my fabric and away I would go. She kindly did and we both left happy.
This summer will be very busy for me and I will be here, there and everywhere. Posts will be sporadic. Hand projects will be coming with me on my trips and there will be some progress to report on. Cleaning up some ufo's time.
There are a LOT of forest fires north of us here in North Bay. BUT at our cottage, the access roads just north of our road have been closed. We are keeping a close eye on events and if the fire situation looks to be worsening, we will drive to the cottage and take out anything of sentimental value. The rest will be covered by fire insurance. Scary times!
Have a great day!

ReplyDeleteGorgeous triangle quilt for a big girl!! Hey...sure hope your cottage is OK; these fires are just everywhere this summer!
ReplyDeleteFinding your striped fabric was a stroke of luck! The triangle quilt is just right for a grown-up bed, very modern for a modern little girl. We in Australia know all about fire - stay safe. Even precious sentimental items are not worth putting people in danger.
ReplyDeleteYour triangle quilt is marvelous. It feels almost like a Navaho rug design. It will be lovely on a big girl bed. The fire danger is unbelievable this summer. I hope your cabin remains safe.
ReplyDeleteYour triangle top is wonderful. I hope your cabin is spared from the fire.

Your quilt top is just amazing, I love these colors together, very sweet, perfect for a little girl! Sorry about the fire, I hope you will be ok...
ReplyDeleteThe "baby" quilts I made were all but one, large enough for a single bed ... but a bit too babyish. Now I am working on the third "big boy" quilt. I'm sure yours will be much loved. Fire season is always scary ... for mothers of fire-fighters too.
