Candace Project 5

Candace is coming along faster than I thought that she would!

I highly recommend putting the background fabric on first, since everything else goes on top of it.  It will be easier to build from the ground up.

I didn’t do this because I was undecided what I wanted to use for the background.

Remember…I haven’t permanently fused any of the pieces yet!  I can still change out something if I don’t like the way that it looks (or add background).

I think I have it figured out.

I am sorry that the lighting isn’t consistent for you.  I guess inconsistency goes with an amateur photographer and taking a photo at different times of the day.

Jalene’s Memory Quilt – Part 4

Jalene and I spent the afternoon of National Quilting Day (March 16th ) tying her memory quilt.

I forgot to tell her to watch her head, but she never did bump her’s!  Still… maybe I should post ‘Low Ceiling’ warning signs to my sewing studio.

Last night, Jalene came back to finish up her project.  She is sewing the binding down in this photo:

And the following is the last photo that I have.  For now, I call it the pink spaghetti quilt, but Jalene will finish trimming those ties at home, and then the quilt won’t look like it was tied with pink spaghetti anymore.

My part in this project is done.  Jalene still has her paperwork and presentation to do.

Jalene, I wish you all the best at college, and may you be blessed with many more great memories!
