After picking up my quilt from my friend and longarm quilter Barb yesterday, as soon as we got home, I went directly into the studio to sew on the binding. The last stitch was sewn just after dinner last night but because our backyard is in shadow at that time of day, I waited until this morning to take the photos.
Thank you Darlene of Quilting Daze for designing this little beauty called “Between Charming Friends” and thanks also to Kelly at Charming Chatter for hosting the quilt-along. Not only was the weekly homework do-able, but the tutorials were exceptional as well. I thoroughly enjoyed the journey.
Mac, of course, had to make sure that I did the job properly.
He wasn’t sure which photo he liked better so he said to include them both. Who am I to argue with an old man? (He’ll be 13 in September).
Enjoy your day and as always…
Happy stitching!

Your Between Friends is gorgeous...I LOVE the blended look!
ReplyDeleteVery very nice. Fabulous work!
ReplyDeleteIt looks great Kaaren. That's a very versatile pattern. I saw Paulette's and now yours. Both colourways work so well, each with a charm of their own.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work, Kaaren. Love your little doggie!

Your Charming Friends quilt has turned out so beautiful. It makes me think of the time just between summer and autumn when this start to fade before they begin to show a parade of autumn tones. It is just wonderful Kaaren!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could show mine already but I am hand quilting it as always and that takes time when Holland has a hot and humid summer. :-(
Hope you have a great weekend dear friend!
Hugs from Holland ~
