Summercrafter

Sorry this took so long to finish. But now with summer here it's  "On your mark, get set, CRAFT!" is easier said than done! I am glad I had some batting stashed away for the "sandwich" part or I would have had to wait longer!  I did debate about the quilting design, I knew the lamb would be "loopy" but I was not sure about the blocks. Either I mimicked the fabric (stripes or flowers) or did something uniform throughout. So you see, sometimes the "mental" part of quilting is more complicated than the "hands-on." Another deliberate delay in finishing the binding is that I am in the middle of ordering labels for my stuff and I really wanted to put a   "Summercrafter " label on it. But it's a process and I must move on in my quilting and crafting!! But keep an eye out, my labels will be here soon.  To refresh your memory, here is how it started.

After much serving and eating and drinking. Some merry making and lots of cleaning. My idea of Mother's Day is to be still and quiet and left to my own devices. (Of which you only know about some) So I did just that, and look what I made. My pattern, a Summercrafter Design Reminder of Fabric selection. The last one is the border, you can't really tell below. The Block Idea Block Design Block Formation Added Border Raw edge detail, this is supposed to unravel in the wash and look "fuzzy" like lamb's wool. Once I finish the quilt, add the batting, backing, quilt it and bind it. I will throw it in the wash ( I have always wondered how my quilts survive the washer) and see how the little lamb turns out. I have read about this technique so I'm giving it a try. As of now, there is no recipient for this quilt yet...
