Hi
and welcome to Sew & Tell Friday. I am KT from ktquilts4fun. I
was so excited when Amy asked little old me to guest post. Truly I had planned to have a little something fun and Christmas-y to share with you.
They were all cut out and ready to roll, but my life since
Thanksgiving would read like something out of "A Series of Unfortunate
Events". Nothing horrible mind you, just...unfortunate! I have had a
nasty sinus infection since Saturday. No big deal, just spent my time
in the recliner finishing the binding on Treasure's quilt.
I used Tula Pink's Neptune line that I had been
hoarding and swapping. The pattern is from the Kaleidoscope Quilt A
Long that was over some time ago. What a disappointment when they stretched and bulls-eyed when I sewed them together. I kept moving on, because life is never perfect!
I have to say that the quilting stumped me for awhile. One night,
when I was up way past my bedtime, it just came to me. I am really
happy with it. The walking foot was employed for the squares made where
the corners of the blocks come together. Then I just did some loopy
FMQ in the background pieces. It is far from perfect, but better than
my FMQ used to be!
I just couldn't bear to part with scraps that I had hoarded so
carefully. The back is composed of the end cuts from cutting the front
pieces. They are terribly imperfect. That works for me with this
quilt!
Treasure knew all about the quilt, it was kinda hard to hide! So I
already gave it to him. It has only had one wash and is still linty.
It needs several more to get that cool, soft quilt feel. This scarf,
however will be a complete surprise to him. Being Merino wool it is
sure to keep him toasty!
Well, That is all I have to share. Oh, the last unfortunate event,
stomach flu has come for a visit. Aren't you all glad that germs can't
be transmitted through the net! I am! That means we can visit all the
other Friday Finishes risk free!!
Thanks again Amy for letting me visit here!
Blessings,
KT

Thanks for hosting! This is my second week to link up! I will come back later to check out more of the links! Cool Quilt from you guest blogger!
That is a lovely quilt. I am linking up today when you have the linky up.
Loving that Neptune quilt! I think the FMQ looks fabulous ;). Looking forward to seeing everyone's projects...thanks for hosting! Smiles~Beth
Thanks for hosting. I'm sorry but I linked twice as my photo didn't load on the first one and I didn't know how to add it.
What a great finish, despite being under the weather! Hope you're feeling much better soon and can get back to those adorable Christmas-y things. :o)
KT, your quilt is so great! I love it, and I couldn't see what you said was so disappointing. I don't have that quilter's calibrated eye. Yet. ;-) The scarf is really nice, too. Wonderful finishes! I hope you'll get to rest and be pampered a bit after all of that hard work. Feel better soon!
Thank you for hosting this! I used to be able to link up in the past, then life got super busy on Thurs and Fri, but glad to be back again! LOVE KT and her quilts and such!
i love the quilt! love it! and i love the scarf! i really need to learn how to knit and crochet.
Amy, hoping all is well. Was off line for awhile...long story...only blogging rarely now. I've checked your blog a few times to see what you are up to. Would love to keep in touch. My email is the same, and my Instagram is @ktquilts4fun.
Blessings,
KT
