This is to document my love of and obsession with fabric and quilts! The true, guilty story of buying "just a little bit more", of shopping at thrift stores for the extra large mens shirts to use in your next quilt..and yes..even eyeing up your best friends blouse wondering if she'd notice if you "borrowed" it and just how many 2 inch strips you could get out of it!

Mystery #23, Jacob's Ladder quilt top is done!
Today I got the top all sewn together and the borders on the Jacob's Ladder quilt. I just love how this one turned out! It is 65" x 77". Nice size! I finished it up just in time, too. I believe there is another mystery starting next week! If you are interested in a great mystery quilt, just click on the Mysteries for Relay link on the side of my blog. Marge has never disappointed me yet with her mysteries!!
I would love to say I was going to have this quilted up right away, but I have 2 other tops that are next in line for quilting. I really need to get going on those so I can have a few more finishes!
Now, off to bath, book and bed. Night all!!

Lovely quilt. I can't do the mystery quilts. I need to 'see' the quilt and figure out how it is put together or I can't do it. I'm not good at following directions alone. I found one of Bonnie Hunter's mystery quilts on the very last day of posting and printed it out. I guess that is cheating, but, it's what works for me. Glad that others can do them. It gives me more to look at.
ReplyDeleteAnd here's a good tip: if your bag's cleaning instructions call for air drying in a tumble dryer, try throwing a few tennis balls in with the sleeping bag.
ReplyDeleteOnce your clothes have been washed and waterproofed as necessary, place them in
an airtight container and store them in a location that's dry and out of direct sunlight. Tent camping is great for families with younger children because it's fun,
inexpensive, and the right combination of being outdoors without being too far from those modern conveniences.
