When we lost the two trees in the front yard we lost the benefit of their heavy shade; most of my beautiful shade plants are sunburned and ragged looking. I guess I'll have to be looking for some sun-loving perennials.
I actually finished binding the smallest quilt on my list. It's about 31 x 31 inches. As soon as I finished the binding I popped it into the wash and it came out all nicely puckery and squishy.
It's the largest thing I have machine quilted on the Bernina, and I'm still a beginner at this so we won't look too closely at the actual quilting, okay?
I made it using a package of charm squares and a bit of neutral from my stash. I still can't find the pattern; it looks like it might have been a casualty of my sewing room clean up a few weeks ago. If anyone knows, please let me know so I can credit the designer.I'm down to the last four nine patches for the quilt along at crazy mom quilts. I have the fabric cut, but I ran out of time this afternoon, so I guess I'll take it up tomorrow. Right now I have to clean up and get going to my book club meeting.

Congratulations on finishing! The quilting looks pretty good to me ( also a beginner quilter on the Bernina ) I made the mistake of tackling a quilt 86 by 76 inches and it was a huge struggle for me. I think in future I will only try and quilt smaller quilts myself. That will mean if I am making a large quilt I need to factor in the cost of havinf it professionally quilted.
Weeding is never-ending isn't it? My plan for the weekend is to get out i the early mornings and weed. I love the D9P.
I like this quilt. It is a great pattern for using those squares. Yummy fabric.
