After being at horses with Emily in the feels like 100 degrees for a couple of hours this morning.... I'm usually toast the rest of the day! So.... today I decided to finish the quilting on the last 4 parts and hand stitch the binding down on this quilt while listening to my audio book The Family Upstairs by Lisa Jewell. I'm happy to say my OMG for August is complete!
The back to school shopping included a package of binder clips... that were perfect for binding!
My trusty helpers - Sophie the white cat who is almost 17 and Peanut. I know Ollie was on the floor somewhere in the room with us. I tend to have 2-3 cats in whatever room I am in!
Flowering Snowball quilt. Hand pieced, hand quilting and I did use the machine to add the binding to the top but hand stitched it to the pretty teal backing.
A shot of the back. Bands of rain going through so no outside shots, sorry.
A close up of some of the quilting. I used my blue YLI hand quilting thread.
Linking up with August OMG and Kathy and the Slow Sunday Stitchers.

Congratulations on your finish! I love the colors and design. And the quilting looks great, especially seeing it on the back!
Such a terrific quilt! Love the colour of the backing fabric.
This is gorgeous and you did a terrific job. Using binder clips looks like a great option - thanks. ~Jeanne
Such a beautiful finish! Lovely fabrics and colours, and the blue thread for the quilting is a lovely touch.
Love, love, LOVE this little quilt, Deb!! Congrats on completing it for August's OMG. And, let's not forget, it's a qualifying finish for the Summer 2021 (Ravelry) UFO Club, too!
What a lovely quilt! Good job.
Congratulations on the finish of this beautiful quilt!
I love that quilt! Yay for the finish!
I just figured it out--why not take horse riding lessons with Emily???????
All great projects-there and nice finish--
Even our breeze here is hot by afternoon now--so am glad I am getting out before lunch for some fresh air!!!
hugs, di
Beautiful quilt, it is not so easy to do it with the heat and humidity. Have a wonderful week.
Hey Deb... your flowering snowball quilt is a sure winner... I hope you add it to a show somewhere if they are doing any.. or maybe a virtual show??? Does it have a home now?? I can't recall!
Glad you had the energy after being outside with Emily and the horses to finish that binding and get photos! Great determination girl :)
