Finshed The Top


I know I have been saying this a lot lately but where has the time gone?  Last week my sweet hubby was home a few days and it just seems like last week is a blur.

This is the top I got finished for a customer and today I got it all quilted, the binding sewn on now all I have to do is hand sew it down.  The quilt top is made out of some of her granddaughter's dresses and a night gown.  I only have 4 more to go for her.  She wants 4 small quilts made out of her wedding dress and her daughter's wedding dress.  I will show you as I progress.


I am trying something new.   This is Sidewalks by October Afternoon for Riley Blake.  It is expected to ship the end of September beginning of October.  I am going to take Pre Orders for this line.  You can go here if you would like to Pre Order.  If they sell out I will order more and let you know.  I do not know how many of you like to Pre Order so I did not order very much.  If this is something you would like please let me know and I will do it more in the future.

Hope you are having a great start to your week.

Hugs
donna

    Your white quilt is so sweet, it will such a treasured heirloom by the family. Going to be hard cutting into those wedding dresses, you may be starting a new trend.

    I'd be interested! Will you carry the whole line, including the solids?

    What a neat idea with the wedding dresses and clothes.

    The custom quilt looks lovely. A nice way to have the wedding dresses as keepsakes.
