It’s Finished! I put the final stitches in the quilt for the Rally for the Cure yesterday. I also got the raffle tickets ordered today, so we will be harassing everyone to buy them soon. Like last year, all the proceeded for the quilt raffle will go to benefit the Susan G. Komen Foundation. The drawing will be October 6. 
This year, they are having a garden theme so I used a Brick Path pattern and added a flower and bunny applique to the top. I also used Joel Dewberry’s Modern Meadow fabric line. I’m really digging that fabric line.
Fletcher is going to a birthday party on Saturday so I made this little art tote for the gift. (I’m thinking this would be a good tutorial. I’ll have to work on that.) I’m always weary of how people will react to “handmade” gifts, but that’s what they’re getting. Hope it goes well. I can’t go to the party because I will be at a quilt retreat in Black Mountain, NC,(YEAH!) so the hubbers has to take Fletch. He is not exactly thrilled to have to take Fletch without me, but he’s gotta do it. Hopefully, some of the other daddies will be there.
And finally, my Sunday sewing project was this Barcelona skirt in Modern Meadow fabric (of course.) I have never put in an invisible zipper before now, but I did it and it turned out pretty good, so there will be more invisible zippers put in things from now on. Actually, I would like to make another skirt since it went together so quickly.There is a ton more things to get done before I head off for a long weekend with my quilting peeps and I need to start thinking about what I am going to take to work on, so I’m off to get more things checked off my list.
That skirt is cute! Pack the pattern if you have room!!!
I love the quilt. The bunnies are great!
Can’t wait until this weekend!
your quilt is so beautiful..i love the modern meadow fabrics. and your barcelona skirt is gorgeous.
Oh, I love the applique border for the quilt! I was thinking of doing a brick-type quilt, but it seemed too plain. This is perfect. I think I’ll have to do something like this for my quilt.
