My house is decorated for fall, such as it is. I put out the same decorations I do every year. If you want to see some, put "fall decorations" in the search box to the top left. I enjoy fall. The weather cooling off is one reason!
I am thinking ahead to Christmas decorations, so I quilted a large piece of one of my favorite cream fabrics. I am going to make pillow shams to go with my new Christmas quilt. The thread matched the fabric so well that I had a hard time seeing where I had quilted. The blue Mark-B-Gone line is showing the edge of the quilted area. I had to find it by Braille!
Yes, difficult to see on the front. I wanted a subdued design, but this is ridiculous. My husband said I should have quilted it from the muslin side. A great idea, but too late. Anywho--I hope to get the backs put on tonight. I think I'll just put a binding on like I did the other set I made.

I wanted to see the Christmas quilt these shams are made to match, but the link didn't work. Your sham link worked--I love the braided shams. : )
ReplyDeleteThe weather here in New Zealand is turning to the opposite, warming up!
ReplyDeleteI think your shams will be lovely. So of my customers use muslin for their quilt backs, it really does show the quilting up nicely.
Wishing you a great weekend. My youngest son had his last rugby game for the season....it was nice that they won.
