January, Part 2

Adding Borders to Shawn's Quilt

We got down to business on our second January work day.  I was ready to start sewing Shawn's quilt into rows.  
Kathy shared a great hint to help me stay organized as I picked the rows of blocks off the floor.  I just placed a pin in the upper right hand corner of each block.  I have been quilting for a long time, so I had to yell at her for not telling me this 25 years ago.  

Border for Applique Quilt

Meanwhile, Kathy finished the ironing part of her appliqué quilt.  It is going to be wonderful!  Lots of hand stitching to be done!





















Then she discovered a quilt top she had started awhile back.  She had purchased additional fabric to complete the top, but hadn't come back to the project...things like moving to a new house took priority.   By noon she was back on track and had completed cutting out the additional strips and was stitching up a storm.
