Another UN-Done ----DONE!

Finally after about 18 months and many interruptions this quilt is finally done. I had a lot of fun making this one and will be doing another one. I put a sheet on the back of it and it worked up beautifully. I did this on my quilt frame and I must say that I am beginning to get the hang of that thing and I like it.

I just took another Un-Done quilt off of the frame and got the binding on it so hopefully in the next couple of days I can have the binding hand stitched and be done with that one too.

It feels so good to get these projects done. I have a couple more to get caught up on but already feel that strong urge to start another one. I may cut some fabric this afternoon as we are to have some strong storms with a good chance of severe weather. Cutting fabric is a good thing to do when the weather is like that and I have to shut down computers and the sewing machine. I had one computer ruined by a lightening strike and I won't take that chance again. Do you leave your computer on when it is stormy? How do you protect it from a lightening strike?

Vintage Sheets

I have been collecting vintage sheets like everyone else these days. I finally made a quilt out of some of them. I wanted something to practice with on the quilting frame. I have not used it that much and sometimes just practice on a sheet or piece of fabric doesn't do it. So I made this quilt and figured if I messed it up it wouldn't matter. I so love how this quilt came out. Not all the sheets in there are vintage but most of them. It is so nice and soft and cuddlie (not a word I guess but it works). I put a sheet on the back too, not vintage but a nice soft cotton sheet. I am so sold on the idea of making quilts out of sheets. I hope to make another one in the near future. I am also getting some Un-done projects DONE! I have a few more to go then I will start another sheet quilt I think. Oh who am I kidding I will have 4 or 5 going before I know it. How about you? Ever made a quilt out of sheets?

Vintage Sheets

Well I think blogger is getting straightened out. I know some people lost posts and some just lost the comments from the posts. I have not really been on because my feed was all messed up as well. I thought I would try and post this and see if it worked.

I have been buying some vintage sheets. I love the feel of them and some of the prints are wonderful. These are a few of the ones I have been collecting. There are a few pillow cases there too. (I bought some nice navy blue pillow cases and hubby claimed them.)  When I get some other projects done, I want to make a quilt out of them. Hopefully this winter.
