Ready? Set. Quilt!

The new seat mats are taking shape.

It looks so good with its dark frame.

Then the basting started.

Not many pins left.


But today is too sunshiny nice of a day to be in the basement. So out the door I go. Of course, I'll bring something to do with me.


I tagged this project. One side is completely done (Yay!) and I am now closing the front to the back. I am trying to match her closing stitches.


Don't know if you can see her stitches here. It's very crude whip-stitches. The picture was taken with my phone as I still don't have my camera. Sigh! It is gone back to the factory to see the good Canon Doctor. I miss it.


Meanwhile, let's have some fun with these ladies;

Cynthia for Oh Scraps!

Kathy for Slow Sunday Stitching.

I'll be there.

Until next time ....

The seat covers are looking good, and I am looking forward to seeing them after you quilt them.

Neat idea of making seat covers. The color and pattern are beautiful. Working on old quilts is such a challenge but such a wonderful thing to do. Good luck with that project.

Your seat cushions will brighten up the inside of your new car quite nicely. You have a lot of patience to be repairing that quilt. It's a lovely quilt though.

Very pretty block choice and colors for the seat covers. The work on the old quilt is a labor of love. How nice that you are restoring this beauty ... :) Pat

So generous and kind of you to fix this quilt! That's a challenge that I would likely postpone indefinitely!
