Time for fun

I guess I haven't posted since I finished the last quilt that was on Mo'e.  I finished it Friday.... more than a little upset about the back of it - full of thread 'boogers' - I changed tension several times, needles a couple of times and did just about everything else I could think of... It would be fine for a bit, then a thread booger would appear.  I finally gave up and just finished.... funny thing is that the boogers don't appear in the borders - it was just in the straight stitching in the blocks... go figure.... anyway, here it is....

Yesterday, I stitched up the backings for the next two quilts... one is this month's UFO, which didn't need shortening after all... it just needed side borders added and I did that.  There are a couple more things I want to add to it before I load it onto Mo'e for quilting.  No pics yet...

The other quilt I worked on was the one that's been hanging on my design wall waiting for the side borders to be added... I added them and made the binding & label.  Right now I'm debating on thread colors to use once it's on Mo'e...I was thinking about a multi-color for the inner white sections, but I want to use Glide and I can't find any multi-colors in it.  So that kind of leaves me with cream for the white parts - and that's ok, but then what do I use in the colored pieces????  I do have Glide in other colors, but do I really want to switch threads that much????  I've got some thinking to do and decisions to make.

this pic was the one taken before I added the side borders.

Soooo, today - this afternoon actually I decided to play..with this....

This is the almost completed wall hanging.... It was a kit with laser cut pieces that had fusible on the backs of all those pieces... LOTS of pieces... It took me about two hours just to fuse them to the backgrounds.  It took about four hours after dinner to stitch all of them down.. everything with invisible thread on top except for the white pieces - I did those in white because I really wanted to get to stitching, but couldn't lay my hands on my spool of invisible right off.  I REALLY need to clean off my sewing table - I REALLY need to clean the entire room to be honest; I will - one of these days :)

Anyway, everything is stitched down and the binding was sewn on - to the front ( WHO DID THAT?!?!)... all I need to do is make and add a label and sleeve and sew the binding to the back...   I LOVE IT.... really wish I could have gotten the pillow size of this... so so cute, but also so so expensive and this was a stretch in my budget as it was.  If Colette hadn't said that she wanted the pattern after I was done and would pay me $15 for it, I probably wouldn't have gotten it.

Hubby has a dr appointment in the morning, so I probably won't get to work on it again until the afternoon,   

After midnight now, so
