Ready for Retirement.....

That title has a double meaning because I sure feel ready for retirement.....just not yet, but the Habitat quilt that I was making for my boss for his retirement party this coming week is done.....with time to spare...yeah!

100 percent done with binding and label.

You can see the corner label in the upper right (DH was holding the quilt upside down).

This is a close up of the quilting, binding and backing.  

Here's a couple more close ups of the quilting while on the long arm.  I used a panto called Bauhaus.  

Sure feels good to be done early on this one AND to just have another one done so that I can move onto something else.  

Sure hope he likes it.  

Before I end this post, I would like to share MY Habitat that I made several years ago. 

Actually the colors are much dustier, but the top is done in a sueded cotton and the back was the batik.  I quilted it in a straight stitch (rented time on a long arm at the time) in a teal colored thread.  This is one of my favorite contemporary quilts.

Happy quilting everyone!

Another one bites the dust......

This is Habitat and it has a deadline.  It has to be 100% done by the end of this month. 

I picked a simple panto.....one that was gifted to me by Nancy.  It's called Bauhaus.  

I figured this would work out great for the contemporary look that I was going for.  

Here are a couple close ups of the quilting.  

I chose a backing that match 90 percent of the fabrics on top. 

 

I used a gray So Fine thread on this one and it blended really well I think.  

Now to get busy on the binding and the label. 

Thanks for stopping by!
