Christmas Baltimore Album & another give away

by Karen on July 24, 2009

At this site there is a give away of bags “Umme Yusuf” from Pakistan. She has some interesting items.

I finished one more border for my Christmas quilt — “Christmas Memories”. I wasn’t sure if I would get it finished this week I had been working on my “Insanity” quilt (Dear Jane) so much. Two more borders to go. I just might get it done by the end of August – still have no idea though if it will get quilted this year. I would like to quilt it on the large frame – so much easier than using a hoop for a quilt that size. This one will measure about 75 x 75 inches. I guess I will just have to get busy and keep on quilting in my spare time (of which I have a lot of!). The corners will be mitered

Karen July 24, 2009 at 8:27 pm: LOL yes Regina after I exercised and came home I got busy on it and just kept working on it until I was done with that last section of green!

Joyce Barham July 25, 2009 at 11:32 pm: Beautiful quilt, Karen! Are there going to be anything in the corners of the border? You are doing a great job!
Karen July 26, 2009 at 6:08 am: there is nothing in the corners from the pattern. If I think it needs something I might add a flower in the corner. But I most likely won’t. It looks good in the pattern the way it is.
