Quilt WIP
One of my New Years Resolutions was to make at least one garment a month. I am happy to report that I have accomplished that, but unfortunately the amount of time I spend quilting has dropped :( This last week I have been focusing on finishing a quilt for my little sister in law, Ariana.
The quilt top is finally completed, but I am not sure how I feel about the mint border...
My neighbor Lora was nice enough to come over and keep the animals away from the kitchen! She even brought me some lemons from her yard. Not to sound like a weirdo, but don't fresh lemons smell amazing?? I want to make these lemon bars that Christine made.

I have the same problem with the cat getting on my quilt top when making the quilt sandwich! I end up locking him in the bathroom while I baste. He's not a fan, but it works. And yes, I LOVE the smell of fresh lemons. Our garbage disposal recently bit the dust and I sorely miss the smell of grinded up lemon grind.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could put the animals in the bathroom, but two cats and one dog might not be the best combo!! :) Next time I might have to go to the garage.
DeleteWhoa - I was all prepared to comment on how impressed I am with your quilt - until you got to the lemon bars... then all thoughts were lost. Lemon bars with fresh lemons sound like heaven. Like citrusy sweet heaven. Feel free to send me some. I won't mind one bit ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm on it! ;)
DeleteYou and I have the same taste buds I'm convinced!! Lemons are one of my favorite things and lemon bars put me right over the edge! YUM
ReplyDeleteQuilting is fun until I get to the hand quilting part then I drag it forever
ReplyDeleteNot weird at all! I loooove the smell of fresh lemons. Mmmmm makes me want to see if any are left from the lemon bush in my front yard. One of my favorite things to do after I've juiced a lemon is to cute the leftovers into chunks and drop them down my garbage disposal. Makes it smell amazing!
ReplyDeleteAnyways, totally love the quilt! I need to finish mine too. I just realized last week that I haven't touched it since last year. All I have to do is to actually baste it all together but I just haven't made the time. Maybe this post will motivate me!
I always feel that I never have time for it all! I'm always wishing that I made this or I made that but then I appreciate all the things I have made instead of all the things I haven't made.
ReplyDeletenice work Erin, you really have made so many things in the last 5 months! The quilt looks lovely and I'm sure your s-i-l will love it :) What a wonderful gift.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is so very lovely - your s.i.l. will love it!!
ReplyDeleteOh man! The scent of lemon in the air just sends me. The quilt is lovely, and the back is really cool :)
