So Busy!

My life has been so busy since I got home from Florida. Not much time to do any sewing but when I have a minute I will work on binding some quilts. These quilts are also UFOs.
This first quilt is from TraceyJay Quilts. It was free pattern at the time I started this quilt but I think you might have to pay for the pattern now. This is going to be a donation quilt along with the others I am binding. I used a lot of five inch squares to make the blocks.
 My sweet friend, Laura, quilted all the quilts on her domestic machine. She just amazes me with the designs she can do.
 If you need a quilt done, she is your girl. You can check out her blog and her quilting services here.
I am linking up this finish to Elizabeth's A Stitch in Time.
I am also working on an applique block. I have been asked to teach an applique class at a quilt shop so I wanted to make something new. It will be a 12" block and will fit my table top wire stand.
Remember if you linked up your UFO at the beginning of the month you still have two days to link up any of your finishes on the bottom of this post.

With Passion,
Carrie P.

Very pretty quilting motif. Love the applique sneak peek. I have a stack of bindings to make. The binding fairy has not done it yet.

Ooo. Love those bright, scrappy prints in that TraceyJay quilt. How wonderfully generous of you to give it away! Laura's quilting is very well done. Good for her - and her customers! - that she does domestic machine-quilting like that for such a bargain price!
