I think I made it in the nick of time!
When I saw Amy from Amy's Creative Side was starting up again,
I knew I had to finish my Facade quilt,
which was a workshop hosted by
So here is the big reveal!
I am SO in love with this quilt.
The quilt has been done for quite some time.
I just didn't have the binding on.
(bad me!)
So last night I was running a sweat shop in my sewing room.
All I could hear while I was working on it
was Larry the Cable Guy saying,
"GET 'ER DONE!"
"GET 'ER DONE!"
And I did!
I used Julie Herman's tutorial
(as always!)
for the binding.
If you're ever interested in using her
perfect binding tutorial
you can find it
I LOVE it because it doesn't leave you with any bulk when your binding
ends come together.
You can't even tell where they stop and start.
So,
I made this little beauty.
Thanks, Gals!!
The fabric is Ruby by Bonnie & Camille.
If you are interested in the Facade pattern,
you can find it here.
Here's a close up of the awesome quilting.
And the quilt spread out in all it's glory.
And for fun,
I thought Mr. O'Lantern would like to snuggle a bit.
(excuse the dead flowers....it's fall!)
