Friday Shopping and Sewing

Since today was my day off, I decided to take a trip down to my favorite local quilt shop, Quilter's Corner in Finleyville, PA. I picked up this pile of fabrics. I love the red and white dots, they are Chloe's Closet Redwork by Moda. I also really loved the little grey circles, a Riley Blake fabric. And of course I couldn't pass up the Aneela Hoey Little Apples prints (those little turtles are so cute).

I came home and did a little housework. Then went to my sewing room for about an hour before getting Troy off the bus and worked on quilting my Owls in Stars quilt. I finished this quilt top back in 2010, but had put it on the stack to be quilted. Last week I found this floral print and thought it would work well as the backing.


I might be able to finish quilting this one this weekend. Then I need to choose a binding, I'm thinking green or orange. Any suggestions?

  1. that's an adorable owl quilt! Is there a pattern for it, or your own creation?

    1. Thanks so much for the nice comment. I drew up the 2 little owls then hand embroidered them.
