CAMPFIRE MELODIES
for
my son, Jeff
I wan't going to even sew today, but my shoulders felt better and so I decided to
go for it.....
I used the rest of the guitar fabric for the binding....
Here is that guitar fabric featured on the backing for his quilt
these long panels on either side are a brushed flannel
nice and cozy-like
I thought that this kelim -like print
picked out the guitar colors nicely
(excuse the threads to be picked off)
{but, as you can see, I only had a little of it; so I pieced more guitar fabric squares
centered on the top and bottom...to stretch it out...}
AND finally, the piece de resistance...the final finishing touch--the label
just a simple inked sentiment and the particulars of the quilt...
using the camping out fabric mountain scene and bordering
it with the little guitar fabric I had leftover...
*******************************************************
Well, it is D O N E --my last big quilt work...I can feel my shoulders relaxing...
I was really so worried that I wouldn't be able to make this for my son--his is the
last of the family members to receive a big lap quilt...I am doing my happy dance...
AND:
I want to thank you all for your inspired hints, suggestions and constant
encouragement....I don't think I could have kept on going without them....
***********************************************************
I plan to bring it up as a surprise gift this coming week....I hope he likes it...
Hugs for a wonderful weekend to you all, mes amies...
