CHARMING GIRLS FINISHES

CG CHRISTMAS IN AUGUST SEWING PARTY

I finished the back of the Christmas Table Topper, it is sandwiched and pinned...but I'm not sure how I will quilt it yet.  Here are a couple of pictures...the colors are richer in person.

I pieced the back with the leftover fabric.  I had that pretty, sparkly tree fabric I thought would give it a 'kick'.

Charming Girls Finishes for July and August

I actually finished up all my goals in July as August was a busy month with family.

My Falling Stars Quilt is finally together...it was pin basted and then I decided to machine baste it so that it would be easier for me to quilt.  Now I'm undecided what to do with the quilting...am going to take it to my LQS and see what they charge...the stars are all Paper Pieced and that means 'TONS' of layers at intersecting points.  Not sure I can handle it.


Look how pretty the fabric came that I dyed for the backing...I really like it.



This is a before and after...sorry it looks so dark.



I had 4 BOMs from Simple Thymes to do, here they are...minus the hand stiching which will come later.


THAT'S ALL FOLKS !

HAVE A HAPPY WEEK AND THANKS FOR STOPPING BY !
