My Mission Completion
No clouds were allowed in the studio today. I had my sights on great granddaughter Luella’s blanket. After niggles in my brain for an hour about the binding . . . I decided what had been good enough for Lena’s bindings was good enough for me. Prairie points all the way.
Mom’s point of view in regard to using prairie points was that the points could take off additional wear and tear of the actual quilt. To achieve each point there is a total of four layers of fabric to take the brunt of fingers and hands.
Here we are in the middle of the afternoon and I am about to shut down the studio for the day. The blanket/quilt is finished at 60″ x 70″. I can honestly say . . . I have had enough. No matter how the quilt is arranged on supporting tables, it is a lot to herd under the needle.
My last task for this project is to take it up to the laundry. With a damp bath towel it will have about 20 minutes on tumble to give that wonderful quilt batting a chance to feel free to puff up at will.
Today Dennis took down all the wall hangings in the house and tomorrow the Christmas wall hangings will go up.
We do have plans to welcome family on Christmas Day. Sweet!
