I have been so busy lately with school, work and kids, but I have been doing a little bit of quilting. Not a lot, but some. First though, this is what I have been studying:
I am studying for Medical Assistant. I am going to be getting my basic x-ray license, phlebotomy, medical coding and billing, and certified medical assistant. With all the training I have had, and am getting, hopefully a career will begin. It's just a lot of studying, and trying to keep up. I have been stressing so much though about it all, that it's beginning to show. I really need to get some more quilting in, because that's what calms me the most! LOL.
I have been doing some hand stitching, something I haven't done in quite some time, due to a mild case of carpal tunnel, but a few minutes here and there have been just fine. Here is the first block:
The stack next to it is the others waiting their turn. I think it'll be a while, it's a slow project. I think I'll put them into small quilt when they get done, maybe in 30's prints.
Then, here is the next quilt on the frame.

| the backing. I used 10 inch squares, ala Bonnie Hunter. I love using up fabric! |
 |
| poly batting |
 |
| Here is the top. It's a variation of the Drunkard's Path, and I love the colors. Lots of scraps. Again, I love using scraps! |
And, last, but not least, the Quilt. I put the binding on it using the same red as the flowers, I then washed it in hot water twice to wrinkle the batting and to wash out the blue marker and dissolve the water soluble thread. I will say it again, I love this quilt!

| the full view. |

| close up of the feathered wreath. |
 |
| the back. |
 |
| Mr Hiro, who has to get into the action. 5 months old now, and into the toddler stage. Help! At least he won't be there for long! |
Anyway, I had better go, gotta finish an online test and an online assignment for class tomorrow. I hope everyone has a happy Labor Day!
Oh, and thank you to everyone who commented on the quilt, I love it when people leave messages.
I love the feedback.
Happy quilting everyone, Marianne

You are the busy one. I'm glad to hear that school is going well.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for you to finish the Drunkard's Path quilt. I want to zoom in on every square in that quilt - as well as the back. I do so love scrap quilts.
Those green and gold borders on the wedding quilt are very artistic. I'm too much of a coward to try that kind of thing. My borders are boring. It really sets off the quilt top and makes a lovely frame for your quilting.
