When I posted about one of the
Hands 2 Help quilts I'm making the other day,
Sara at My Sewing Room commented that
she thought of "Deep in the Forest" when she looked at the blocks.
The name was found!
Thank you, Sara!
I've worked on the quilt on and off all week,
in between other life adventures.
The blocks were all made within a couple of days.
(I had to stand on a stool to take the photo.)
These blocks went together so quickly
once I got into a sewing groove.
The quilting was done over a couple of days.
Since the name is
"Deep in the Forest"
"Deep in the Forest"
I decided to quilt leaves onto the quilt with a little
meander in between.
The binding is being sewn on now and will, hopefully,
be finished tonight.
This has been one fun quilt to make!
I see another in my future with some of my bright batiks.
A friend traveled to Africa to visit her son
and brought back some fabric for each of us in our quilt group
to make a Becca Bag.
This is mine and I love it!
I didn't add the flange to this one and love the patterns together.
She also brought back earrings to use as zipper pulls.
What a great idea!
Thank you, Laura!
Happy Quilting!
Love all the gorgeous batiks in this quilt. Great bag and using a zipper pull is a perfect idea!

ReplyDeleteThe green quilt is beautiful good choice for the quilting and I bet it’s going to be square. Love the little bag
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend and moms day
You are very welcome for the name suggestion. It is gorgeous! It immediately made me think of how the light plays off the various kinds of trees when you are deep in the forest.
ReplyDeleteThe bag is a perfect use of the fabric and earring. Wow!
Your Forest quilt looks beautiful. It does look like a fun one to make. I LOVE your African bag. That is great fabric and I love the idea of an earring for the zipper pull.
ReplyDeletePerfect name for the quilt! And perfect quilting on it, nice work on both the quilt and your bag!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great name for the quilt. I am terrible with naming quilts! Wow, I can't believe you finished it so fast! Amazing! Your bag is very cute.
