Mom’s Ohio Stars
It’s been a while since I’ve posted because I’ve been having trouble with our ISP. So instead of wrestling with “server timed-out” messages and having to hit the “refresh” button multiple times, I’ve just been quilting. Yesterday, mom finished sewing the binding down on her quilt for me… I’m not sure if she volunteered because I’ve got a stack of them to do or she just wanted to be sure to get her (overdue) birthday present some time this year. 
I need to sew down the binding on the one just like it for resale.
I ended up doing an E2E allover loose feather design. The flange was not a good mix with an edge-to-edge design as it kept getting caught up in the presser foot and folded over the wrong way in spots. I ended up having to fix nine such spots. [sigh]
I finished up a baby quilt that the director of our local crisis pregnancy center asked me to quilt for a woman who decided to keep her baby after coming into the center. (Both my daughters volunteer there.) It’s nothing special, just two pieces of fabric sandwiched together–otherwise I’d post a picture. I quilted it allover with little hearts and hands. I’m still working on Josh’s quilt. I have all the log cabin squares finished and am working on the flying geese units. I bought the border material and backing today. Tomorrow I’m going to concentrate on getting Josh’s quilt done so I can get that sent to him.

Lovely!
What are the particulars about the one for resale?
Pretty quilt. Momma’s are so funny. That is my next project. To bind a quilt to be sent to momma for her birthday in April.
What a pretty quilt. Ohio Star based blocks are my favourite but this one is especially nice.
What a great Mum to sew the binding on - now I wonder if we could encourage more of our family and friends to do that for us when we make them quilts :o)
Your Mom’s quilt is lovely … and she must have wanted it so badly to finish it herself! :o) Way to go, Mom!
