Waiting For Williamsburg...

Sunday was spent relaxing and sewing the binding onto the "Williamsburg Welcome" quilt. This quilt measures 45" wide by 66" long and will make a great lap quilt for one lucky person buying a ticket from the Williamsburg Consort in September.

Remember, this quilt will be a raffle item to raise funds for their student scholarship fund. I hope it raises LOTS of money! I'll also have a completed pillow using some of the same fabrics with the same logo in the center. Another chance to win and raise more money for the kids.

Oh, yeah. I really don't like having my mug in the photos of my finished quilts, but Handsome has an aversion to taking pictures of my work with just hands and feet showing. I think I need a clothesline.We had a curious blue dragonfly that kept landing on the quilt during our photography session. I guess it was drawn to the colors. Did I ever tell you that dragonflies make me smile? I think they're so cool, and I love watching them dart around near dusk, hunting for a meal. This one would fly away when Handsome would try to get closer, and then come back and land on the quilt as soon as the coast was clear.
Again, my finishing touch...the label. I'll make a nice muslin cover for this quilt, perhaps sporting the embroidered logo that appears in the center square of the quilt. Then, I'll tuck it away for safekeeping until we pack for our road trip. Now, like us, this quilt is just waiting for Williamsburg.
On Sunday, I also created a new Artist Trading Card for the Blissful ATC Swap group that I've joined. We have rotating swap partners and a new theme each month.

This month, the theme is "orange". You might think that, living in Florida, I would have chosen the fruit. I didn't. I can't show you what it looks like until my swap partner, Francie of The Scented Cottage receives it. I'll be sending it out to her this week.
