I don't have a great photo of Dear Prudence, not even a photo of the whole quilt after I finished the quilting. Which may be a good thing because this little quilt is far out of kilter. The edges narrowed at the top and bowed out on the sides.
I finished the quilting toward the end of last year and think I'm finally feeling clear-headed enough to cut and sew binding. That shouldn't be too hard, right? There are only about 88" to sew.
So that's my One Monthly Goal for February. I'm linking to
February One Monthly Goal Link-up at Elm Street Quilts (and just under the deadline, too!). Follow the link to see the goals others have set.
And now, just for the cuteness factor, a photo that always--always--makes me smile.
Even if she weren't my granddaughter her smile would bring a smile to my face. What joy! This is Sophia, at 8 months, on Christmas Day, 2021.
I hope you're finding joy in your life!

You can do it. Because of arthritis I sew my bindings completely by machine. What a charmer. Sophia brings a smile to my face. Hugs
ReplyDeleteThank you for your encouragement, Cathy. It should be an easy finish and I'm about a fifth of the way there, but these days I can never tell what the next day will bring. So glad Sophia brought a smile.
DeleteWhat a sweetie! When You talked about being clear headed it reminded me how this 2nd Covid winter has made me a little foggy. I don't have to keep track of people and times because I don't really go out much. So, I neglect to keep track of anything except my current project. Dear Prudence is such a sweet quilt. Good luck with the binding.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Robin. We think Sophia's pretty sweet, too.
DeleteIt is strange how our brains so willingly let go of things we used to do when we don't do them anymore. And it does feel foggy, I think. So very strange.
Thank you, too, for your encouraging words about Dear Prudence.
Beautiful quilt, cute baby, love the antique chair she is in.
ReplyDeleteThank you, QuiltGranma. I think the chair is a reproduction but it's one of my favorites of their furniture -- 4 chairs and a table.
DeleteCongrats on being to the binding stage. Maybe you will share a photo with us after it is all bound?
ReplyDeleteSophia is adorable! She sure has me smiling.
Thank you, Janet. I think this quilt has been waiting for binding for more than two months (detained by sciatica and covid). Yes, I'll post a photo or two after it's finished.
DeleteGlad you enjoy the photo of Sophia.
So adorable! By the way congrats to a very cute baby!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI wish I had a baby as cute as this baby!
ReplyDeleteFor sure, she's cute!
