Sewing ... sewing ... sewing ... quilting ... and pie


I finished this top late last night ... er ... early this morning ... ;)

Since it is now an oversized queen, I took it to my favorite local quilt shop, Bits 'n' Pieces, and rented their long arm for a few hours. Always a nice place to spend some time.  Thanks, Liz and Co.  

Butterfly has inspected and approved this quilt for binding ...


Of course, I decided that the best fabric for the binding is not the one I saved some of for this purpose, but one I do not have quite enough of ... back to the shop tomorrow ... ;)

While I was at the quilt shop, Super Hubby went strawberry picking. Mmmmmmm ... fresh picked local strawberries!  So good!!

Wait, there is more ... then while I was taking a nap to rest up after my late nights and quilty adventure, he baked a Strawberry Rhubarb Pie ...




Yum!

Finished quilt piccie coming soon ... :-)

First ... another (small) piece of pie ...


Yummy!

    Good Morning, Dorian ... fresh picked strawberries are my favorite, too <3. That is the border I put on Jess's Unexpected Twist Mystery quilt to make it queen sized. It is "Delectable Mountains" from Quilt Blocks Galore ... http://www.quilterscache.com/B/Borders.html
    ... makes a nice frame for this quilt.

    The quilt is looking gorgeous. I love the delectable mountains border. Do you think your hubby could come over and bake a pie out of the strawberries I just picked? ;)

    Good Evening, Delia ... sounds good to me as long as I get a piece :) A trip to the Bunkhouse is long overdue anyway. However, since you have younguns, I suspect the strawberries will be all gone by the time we get there ... ;) Pat
