A Finish and Friday Face Off

A few days ago, I finished my Stay at Home Round Robin quilt.  I got the binding all sewn onto the back by hand and gave it a wash.  I love the texture that washing a quilt gives it.  Here is the "portrait" (sorry, but it looks a bit washed out in the photo.)

And here is a close up of that lovely texture.

Don't you just want to touch it and curl up under it with a good book?

And here is the back showing the label

I love that binding with both the front and the back. 

Now for the Face of the week - I found an old photo of me. This was in my late teens, I think.

I was a skinny guy back in the day, but I wasn't bad looking. 

Happy Friday!

FFO 3-28-25

This week has been busy. I have been helping my cousin pack up all of my aunt’s things to move her to Pennsylvania. It has been quite a task. They leave today. 

For the Face Off, I have created a couple of AI images using my phone.

Once again, I was testing what I could achieve using words to create a picture. These were the best of what I was describing.

Happy Friday!

Quilt Parade SAHRR

Many of you know that I have been participating in a Stay At Home Round Robin.  My quilt is almost completed.  The top is finished, layered and quilted.  The binding is made and attached to the front of the quilt.  I will be sewing the binding to the back by hand this week.  I am excited to be so close to finishing this quilt. 

Here is the completed quilt top. 

 The quilt top is all made of batik fabrics from Island Batik.  The backing is a solid fabric that was in my stash.  For the binding, I had an idea to use a batik that I have, but when I auditioned it I didn't like it with the front OR the backing.  So, back into the stash where I tried several other fabrics that didn't seem to play well with one side or the other.  Then I picked up a piece of Kaffe Fassett fabric that I have been "hanging onto."  It looked perfect.  I quickly cut off enough (there is only about 10" by width of fabric left.)  I cut it into strips and made a binding.  It is sewn onto the front of the quilt ready to be stitched to the back - and yes, I will be doing it by hand!  (a rarity for me.) 

Here you can see it with part of the front:

You may notice that I quilted it with a blue thread that really shows up on the front

of the quilt. I think that it ties the quilt together and adds an'

extra layer of design. And it is just fun!

Here is the binding with the backing:

The blue quilting thread is not as obvious on the backing.  However.  the texture 

will show beautifully once the quilt is washed.

FYI,  I don't know what time the parade will open so you may see this before her post is live.

Friday Faces

This has been a bit of a busy week and so I have some AI faces created on my phone to share with you. 

I enjoyed playing with the AI creator on my phone while I was staying with Mom one afternoon. (She was asleep.) 

For Nicole

This one is mostly because I wanted to see what I would get if I said "riding on a camel"

And my face from the only television commercial I have been in. 

Happy Friday!
