I read somewhere recently that it was...
Clean Off Your Desk Day
I decided to put this into good use
in the Thread Shed:
I don't have a desk in here,
but I have lots of work surfaces
that were piled high...
I should have taken a before picture.....oops!
I cleaned off my big ironing board
the Cowboy built this for me 20 years ago.
I hand dyed the board cover.
I also cleaned off my main work table...
it is a vintage drop leaf table with lots of leaves
and is about 80 inches long.
I cleaned off my sewing machine table.....
I also cleaned off my little cutting table
All 4 large surfaces are cleaned off and
ready to go !
2022 will be my year of:
Fabulous Finishes
I have my first quilt ready to finish
on the work table...
Orange Peel / Pumpkin Seed Quilt
This large table is perfect for trimming the edges
of your quilt to get it ready for binding...
The machine quilting is done,
all that is left to do is bind it....
I have a bag of fabrics to paw through
in hopes of finding something
that will work for a binding.
This will have to wait for another day...
We are working cattle tomorrow.
I am hoping to get this bound
by the end of the week and have my very first
FABULOUS FINISH 2022.

Love your pieced border!
ReplyDeleteThank you Sumac! I would like to think it was a design choice but.....I was running low on fabric and just used up what I had.
DeleteMany Thanks,
LuAnn
Beautiful quilt! Also…love the name of your sewing space 😊
ReplyDeleteThank You Twirling Dervish! The Cowboy built the Thread Shed back in 2000. While he was working on it he would refer to it as, "Your Thread Shed." The name stuck.

Looks great!! Love your orange peal quilt! For the binding, what about matching your border fabrics? I know, it is a PITA to get the measurements right for changing the fabric, but it would look really cool? Or just a scrappy binding that uses fabrics in your orange peals?
ReplyDeleteThank you Farm Quilters ! I was running low on fabrics by the time the borders were pieced. I had to go out and buy binding fabric...nothing in the Thread Shed would work.
