My son's friend recently had a baby girl so I decided to quilt this lovely panel for her as a gift. The panel is one of a range of designs called Bed Buds by the Devonstone collection. Not only are they really cute but they're the perfect size. All too often panels are thin and you have to add to them to make them decent sizes.
I have three panels and I was going to quilt them all at the same time. I loaded a king sized sheet on the frame and started with the bunny. I needed to get it finished quickly so once it was quilted I cut it off the frame hopefully leaving the sheet intact ready to do the others.
I used the sheet for binding too.
And messed up the end join in the binding!
And messed up the end join in the binding! Oh did I already say that? Ha ha!
Third time was the charm. I've only been sewing bindings for thirty odd years. You'd think I'd know how to do it by now!
I embroidered the label and turned it into a heart shapes appliqué.
Ta da! Expertly held by my husband, Jim.
I'm going to retreat this weekend and I'm hoping to finish the camera quilt at long last. I was about to machine sew the binding onto it when I noticed a section of the quilt I'd missed quilting. Oops! So I quilted that on my domestic sewing machine which reminded me why I love my quilting frame!
