I had the class<\/a> and so much stuff to catch up on over the weekend that I didn’t have a lot of time to sew. I decided that I wanted to make progress on something. Not just a few blocks, but some real progress.<\/p>\n

Food Quilt.<\/p>\n

I knew I could make progress on it because I was pretty close to having the top done after the retreat<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Food Quilt #2 Top – June 2015<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I got on it and the top is together with borders, though it took me a few hours on Monday to get the whole top done, but next stop: Food Quilt back.<\/p>\n

The holdup at the retreat was that I forgot black to use for borders. I had plenty of black at home, so I waited until this week to do it.<\/p>\n

After putting on the black inner border and the piano key food border, I decided I wanted a black border on the outside to contain all that food. I am pleased with the way it came out.<\/p>\n

I caught a quick glimpse of the boys as they prepared to be quilt holders for me. This is what it looks like when they are acting as my quilt holders. I have learned just to wait for them to play around. It is fun to watch. I mean, you have to have fun in normal life, right?<\/p>\n

You might remember that\u00a0 made a Food Quilt for the Young Man. This is a graduation gift for the Young Man’s friend. I kind of like the idea of them having similar quilts. It is like there will be a connection through these quilts. Sentimental, I know. It won’t be finished for his graduation, but I can send it to him at college and he can see the top.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
