Ready for Library Exhibit

Today I put the finishing touches on my three pieces. I put the binding on the kippah piece -- I used instructions from the Quilt Art list for a "bumpless" seam. It worked out O.K. but I guess I'll get better with practice. And I sewed on triangular hanging corners for the previous two pieces (which I finished before I discovered the triangular hanging corner thing).
So as far as the pieces go, I'm ready. I'm debating whether to make postcards to hang as labels beside the pieces.


I also started on a wedding gift for a friend. It's a piece made of white ribbon with silver accent ribbons/trims and silver metallic stitching.

Stitching plans for this week:

1. Finish wedding gift -- a little beading and embroidery should do the trick. Then a binding and backing.
2. Make Carmit's oven mitts -- I've really been procrastinating on this one.
3. Teddy bear hammock for Inbal.
4. Work on embellishing UFOs.
5. Put hanging sleeves/corners on everything pinned to the design wall.
6. Clear design wall and finish designing Marty's tie quilt.

I think that's a plan. I wonder how much I will actually get done since I have a POM executive meeting on Tuesday night and am meeting Devora at the AGO (Art Gallery of Ontario) Wednesday evening, unless the snow storm forecast actually hits. Did I mention I'm tired of shovelling...

And then plans without a fixed start or finish time: make receiving blankets and quilts for all the Erez babies (4!!) due in the spring. Good times!
