It arrived today wrapped in a nondescript plastic shopping bag – a mostly finished quilt. Last summer, my sister-in-law had asked me to finish the quilt for her youngest daughter, Miss M, in case she wasn’t able to complete it before she passed away. Kathy’s funeral was in early March. It took several weeks for her daughters to locate all the bits and pieces to the quilt. Hubs went to visit his folks for Father’s Day and brought it home with him.
The quilt is already spray basted with a few spots of ditch quilting. The brown binding strips were already cut. All I need to do is quilt, bind and add a label. Miss M chose an all-over big loopy meander for the quilting design in gold thread. Sadie & I will try to pick up gold thread tomorrow, along with brown hand quilting thread. This special quilt deserves to have the binding stitched by hand.
Once finished, I’ll ask Miss M if she wants to pick it up on her way through ATL next month or have it shipped to her in Boston.
