Green Fabrics

 A variety of greens from Marshall Dry Goods.  All are lovely quality.

 

Ribbons for Quilts

Quilts that went to the Platte County Fair

This morning I picked up the quilts -- and their accompanying ribbons:

(I think the judge meant 'borders' [those around the animal pictures] rather than 'binding', since there's nothing particularly unique about the binding.)

 

Diamond Border

 The diamond border is on the 'All Creatures Great & Small' quilt.  Just two more narrow borders, and this quilt top will be done and ready to be quilted.

Log Cabin Border

 I got the Log Cabin border sewn onto grandson Nathanael's 'All Creatures Great & Small' quilt just before time for church this evening.  Two narrow borders and one wide border to go.  I hadn't really wanted to use that medium mottled green fabric; but my fabric order from Marshall Dry Goods hasn't arrived yet (it hasn't even been shipped, and I ordered it July 2nd!  What's happened to it??), and I was ready to sew that border on!  Oh, well; it's from the quilt Nathanael's other late grandmother had started, and I am trying to use those fabrics in this quilt.  And it doesn't clash; there's a bonus!

Log Cabin Blocks

 The 16 Log Cabin blocks for the next border on the 'All Creatures Great & Small' quilt are done.

Quilt Stack

Stack of quilts ready to go to the County Fair in the morning.

There are the quilts I will enter:

 

Two More Borders on All Creatures Great & Small

 The Flying Geese borders and another narrow border have been attached to the 'All Creatures Great & Small' quilt.  I was sewing away when I heard a distant rumble of thunder, looked out the window, and found a dark cloud directly overhead and these thunderheads on the northern horizon.  A few drops of rain fell, even as the sun shined brightly in the west.
