A Finish for Declyn

 
At last I can finally say that all my children have a quilt made
by me especially for them.
 
Please allow me to share Declyn's Quilt
 
"Urban Grunge"
 
 
Quilt Stats
Urban Grunge designed by
Jocelyn Ueng "It's Sew Emma"
Finished size
50.5" x 59.5"

(Woops this picture was taken before the label went on)
 
I do love a pieced back but I do not like getting it all ready to baste
as there is that extra pressure of getting the back straight and even.
 
It took Declyn (yes I have trained him so well that he is now my No. 1
helper when it comes to spray basting a quilt) and myself a little
longer than normal but we are both happy with the end result
and even placement.
 
If you remember this Kit was purchased from the Fat Quarter Shop and the
back has been pieced from the "scraps" left over.  Love the FQ Shop .... just saying :)

 
I started quilting this one last Wednesday. My little helper hadn't been feeling well
that day and had not really left my side.  Here is the proof. 
She decided she wanted to help me add the special ingredient
for any quilt ... L O V E
 
 
We quilted it with an all over meander / stipple.
 
 
I finished the label for it yesterday and put it on Dec's bed for him ;o)

 
Feels nice to have a finish :o)
Enjoy your day,
hugs, Sharon

  20. Gorgeous pic of you and Lily. Love the quilt and the fabrics and design are great for boys. The quilting is beautiful too. I have been thinking about my vignette hexagon quilt which is waiting for some quilting but am not sure how I would do it yet.

  22. Neat to catch up on reading your blog Sharon. I loved seeing what you all got up to at your Millrose get-together,. LOVED your Vignette quilt - well done - looking forward to the post about it!! Declyn's quilt is neat and so is the backing!! How great that it has a little bit of love from his sister stitched into it!

  23. Holy Kamoly! LOOOOVE. I am even further behind Raweyn above me!! Just catching up myself! Do you print and then trace your embroidery over the label or do you just free hand that in empty space. AND (cuz I always ask questions) where did you get your symbols from?!?!?!
