Since last week's post, I was able to get the two borders sewn on "Huggable Me"so it is now ready to get quilted. This photo is quite washed out but in real life it is very pastel pretty. I have the backing all ready but I think I need to go shopping for a batting. My stash of battings is all queen-sized right now and I hate to cut one up to use for a smaller project This quilt measure 45" x 55". You can read about it
here.
I also finished the last border, the braid, for My Darlene's Mystery Quilt. It measures 98" x 108" and I am so pleased with it. The braid border was such fun to make and it attached perfectly. I did stay-stitch the edges just to save myself any grief with stretching and I was so glad that I did that. I am not sure yet what will happen with this quilt, or where it will end up.

| The 2013 Prospect Raffle Quilt |
Last Sunday was the Lobster Supper in the little village where I grew up, Prospect. Lots of tickets were sold on the raffle quilt to help raise money for the community. Drawing is in October. You can see the two blocks that I made, second row centre and bottom left. Each block is an original creation by a different local resident. It is handquilted by the group. Below is one that I thought was super creative. Love the crocheted sea creatures and sea plants.

ReplyDeleteI've never thought about using crochet on a quilt before. What a clever idea! It makes such sense for the netting.

Beautiful quilts Linda...sweet bunnies. And the prospect quilt is gorgeous too!
ReplyDeleteoh I miss the community lobster dinners! Some fabulous quilts - what a great raffle quilt - hope it raises lots of money for the community
ReplyDeleteAll of them are just wonderful and I'm sure the raffle will raise lots of funds.
ReplyDeleteYour projects are absolutely gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteAnd what a fun idea to share blocks for a quilt (like your Prospect quilt):)
One quilt is nicer than the other ... you certainly aren't stuck in a creative rut!
ReplyDeletethey are all beautiful quilts. Great imagination on the Prospect quilt. The winner certainly will be a lucky person. your mystery quilt is lovely and very large. I have stuck with small mystery quilts this summer and am finding it quite fun. 24 inches on a side is very doable and I should get them quilted in no time.
