WIP Wednesday

I decided to pull my string quilt out of the stack and finish it. I love the bright happy colors! I had left off with it in rows so yesterday I began joining pairs of rows. I took lots of time to press the seams as I went along. I should be quilting it this afternoon!

Last night was this year's final performance for the high school jazz choir. Mitch was just fantastic on his bass, spinning it around and thumping it as he played. The surprise of the night....he was awarded "Director's Choice Award" by his teacher for the impact he has made this year. So proud!

My pinched nerve is healing and I was able to walk Duke on his leash to our downtown shop yesterday. Doesn't he look sweet posing by the longboards?!

Oh for the quilt back, which vintage sheet do you like better?

I'm linking up to Freshly Pieced WIP Wednesday!

  4. Ohhh, a string quilt. You've hit on something that's on my 'bucket list' and has been calling to me for sometime. I keep telling it to wait, hahaha. I'm so glad to hear you're feel better! Yes, Duke looks cute... pretty much anywhere. Whhohohoo for the directors award. And, I also like the pink sheet on the left.

  9. Oh my, it's awesome! loving all the pics. totally wish i could see that performance you spoke of, mitch sounds like a rockstar! i was thinking that from a distance, the sheet on the right looks to "pop" but since it's the backing and wouldnt really be side by side (unless you're like me and it's always in a pile on the couch) then i really love the sheet on the left. then you could do a bold, white with black polka dot binding, for a "pop" line of contrast between the back and the front when its in a pile! im loving that.
