For the Love of Baskets

Hello Everyone,
 

For the Love of Baskets is off the long arm and onto the bed!  I'm loving this quilt....a lot.
 

After I get the scalloped borders cut and the binding and hanging sleeve sewn on, I'll take more pictures of the whole quilt and nothing but the quilt.  Now it's time to finish the pattern writing.

Thank you all for your comments on my last post.  Several of you were new to me and I really appreciate you stopping by my blog and commenting.  I try to respond directly to every comment, but if you are a 'no reply' status, I can't send you an email.

I'll be taking a break during my Saturday to watch our 5-year-old grandson play T-ball.  The coaches actually start pitching to the batters today.  The kids get 4 pitches.  If they can't connect with the ball, the "T" will come out, and they'll hit it off the T.  For those that are having trouble hitting, our son, Coach Chuck, tells the kids to take a practice swing, then he throws the ball and tries to hit the bat.  This should be a "hoot."  This is small town Americana at its best.

Soon,
Lynn

  8. It's gorgeous! Have you ever thought about selling your quilting patterns as digitised for computerised machines? I'd love the heart block for an embroidered quilt I have to do soon. Well done you and can't wait to see that scalloped border too. I'm working on the no-reply thing .
