I made it to my sewing room last night around 7. The red, white, and blue top (Bonnie Hunter's Ohio Stars and Rails) is pieced.
I didn't start on the borders because I stopped to start the borders on the flag quilt. I added one border that is just a 2 inch pieced border using some of the blues in the quilt. I plan to add an off-white border and then a dark blue to complete it.
It was storming a little last night so I decided to sew through it. My sewing room is downstairs but the back part of the downstairs is underground. (Not sure if that makes sense to you.) I am safer down there than upstairs. So I just sewed away and ignored the wind and lightning.)
Have a great day!
Happy snipping, stitching, and quilting!
I love them both Vivian, but especially the top one! I can't wait to see these quilted!
ReplyDeleteI always unplug my machines when it storms (actually, anytime I'm not using them) even though they are all plugged into UPS systems.
I love both of them too! You are really making me want to get a patriotic quilt started.
ReplyDeleteI never thought to unplug my machines. I know what you mean about being in the lower part of the house - it is safer from the storms - which in my opinion have gotten worse in the past 5 years or so - I wonder why that is.
ReplyDeleteYou will have plenty to quilt soon, the tops are great.
