TOP FINISHED AND MORE FABRIC!

 I'm showing you a picture of my ironing table.  On the left is the quilt top for my youngest grandson that I just finished and it is ready to baste.  Backing and batting are under the top.  There's a grocery bag that my granddaughter (oldest) sent me and on the right is the binding rolled up for the quilt top - it's on the end of a Point Presser and Clapper tool.  Also, you can see my Palmateer Point quilt top hanging above the ironing table


Look at all the fabric in the sack!  It was quite heavy.


Here it is spread out.  It is mostly fat quarters and I think they are from a shop where we went to buy fabric when the shop was going out of business.  It seems like she isn't into making quilts now, but she is still sewing.  She is more interested in designing costumes and clothing.


The quilt top is folded inside out, so I turned back one of the corners so you could a little more of it.  I am using the same striped blue fabric for the binding that I used for the inner border.


I love this "frog" conversational fabric that I used in the border!


About a week and a half ago this is what the maple tree next door looked like.


Now it looks like this - or even more bare.  I think I get about half of the leaves in my yard!


 Hope you have a great week!
