Yesterday started with my annual eye exam. Something happened there that hasn’t happened in 40 years! This will be my third year with the same prescription. For most of my life I have had to get a new prescription every year. That gets expensive! There was a time when I would have at least 5 prescription glasses every year. Glasses are so expensive now that I can’t do that anymore but I do always have 2 pair plus sunglasses. Now I get to keep the current ones for a third year.
I celebrated by coming home and finishing quilting the two veterans quilts. This one was made by Peg. All of the fabrics are leafy prints.
Free motion leaves seemed to be the right choice for the quilting. The backing is more of a navy blue but the camera wanted to make it this pretty bright blue.
The other one is this quilt that I made 2 weekend ago. I even had time to get the binding on it so this one is done! I’ve made this simple pattern 5 or 6 times. The squares are 4″ and it’s a really good use of scraps.
I had cut a binding from the blue but I had the green leftover from something else. I think the green is better.
I even had time to load 2 more quilts. I might get started on these today after I take Mom for her eye appointment. Lots of eye things going on this week!
I’m still pondering my next Christmas card design so it’s good that I have these to work on in the mean time.
