When I ordered a walking foot for my Kenmore, I also ordered a darning foot.

Dear Moms,
Thank you for being such wonderful mothers. Your prayers and Godly examples have served us well as we developed and matured. Thank you for all the sacrifices you’ve made and the love you continually show us. We love you!

Here’s the center panel of Brendan’s quilt:

I love it! I can’t wait to add the borders.
Love,

I told myself I wouldn’t work on Brendan’s quilt until I completely finished the bedroom one, but I couldn’t help myself. I cut out the fabric for my ships and started my good old assembly line. I have ship hulls and all sails galore, all of which are sewn and pressed.

I finished the quilting on my bedroom quilt this weekend. My simple technique paid off. It was almost too easy.

Can you see the quilting?
I’m going to go with the simple “stitch in the ditch” technique. I think it will be the simplest and quickest way to finish this HUGE quilt. (And I really don’t know how to do much else.)

wish me luck!
It looks like it’s about to devour my poor Kenmore!
Love,
Tiff
Well, I tried out my first block, and look at how cute it is:

super adorable
I think I need to add a strip of “sky” across the top, and I plan on getting a solid blue to use for the sky. I think the sails don’t stand out as much as I’d like them to against that “net” print.
Love,
Tiff
