196 Candy Day 2 - Lexi High School Graduation

Today Candy's goal is to get Lexi's Graduation Quilt done.  It is a fabulous quilt that has all Lexi's sports T's put together in a delightful, colorful pattern!  Lexi competed in State all four years of her high school athletic career!  Karlie came to help us prepare the backing and load it onto the machine.  It sure makes all the pinning go fast with 3 pairs of hands!

As the saying goes,
"many hands make light work"
and Karlie sure helped us get the quilting done fast and efficiently!

Lexi, you have had an amazing and inspiration sports career!

194 Grandbaby Nora - Flowering Cherry Blossoms

Grandbaby Nora gets a Flowering Cherry Blossoms quilt!  And yes, if you are counting, my Grandies always get multiple quilts... it is a quilting Grannys' prerogative I guess.

I am in love.

I wanted to put a ruffled binding on, like I did for Olivia's first quilt; but it was just too hard, and would take way too long.
I practiced on it a bit and then surrendered.
In the meantime, I found this special binding called Flanged Binding.
I was satisfied I'd made it special for dear granddaughter Nora.
