Other than being on illness alert, it was a really nice weekend. I did get to spend most of Sunday in the sewing room. Not all of the time was spent at the sewing machine. I finally got tired of moving Poinsettias from point to point in the sewing room. It's been quilted for a couple of months, but needs to be trimmed and bound.
So I cleared off the cutting table and got it trimmed up. I really like the holly leaf quilting motif. It shows up nicely in that black border. The binding strips were also cut and are sitting over the sewing machine for stitching. While cutting the binding strips I realized that Poinsettias needed a label too. So I took some time out to design one.
The other focus in the sewing room this weekend was on getting Geometry into a finished flimsy.
Progress was made, but it's not a finished flimsy yet. The top 4 rows are sewn together and the bottom two are as well. It always takes longer to sew all the rows together than I think it should. But this one should be a finished flimsy by next weekend.

Geometry is coming together very nicely! Very striking. Have a great week.
I do like that Geometry. The colors really pop! And yea for getting back to work on Poinsettia.
Good progress on geometry.
I love your label.
My son thought he was coming down with a cold last week, but it turned out to be allergies. I'm suffering this week. Spring pollen seems to be early this year.

Any progress is good progress! Love the bright geometry quilt!!
Geometry is so striking! I can picture that being something my grandsons would like.
I love the quilting on your Poinsettia quilt! It is going to be so gorgeous when it is finished!
The quilting on poinsettias is very pretty. Love that border fabric. Beautiful label. Are you going to print on fabric? I can't wait to see Geometry finished. So much fun.
Geometry is looking great! You're almost there! Hope DT woke up feeling better. Have a good week, Kate!
You're doing great! Does it feel good to get another one so close to sending out?
It is fun to work on different stages of our projects--and we can feel a bit of progress each time we work on them Plus--they are happy that we still love them and they stop 'shouting' at us to finish them--gotta keep those quilts 'quiet'!!!
Geometry is looking mighty fine--
enjoy the moments, di
Both beautiful WIP's, I am excited to see the poinsettia quilt finished up!
What a productive weekend! I love the holly quilting and that label is fantastic!!
Your label is gorgeous! It will feel right at home on that lovely poinsettia quilt!
And I'm so looking forward to Geometry being all together! Such a fun quilt!
The holly leaf quilting motif is indeed pretty. You have done it so neatly. Slowly but surely the flimsy will come together. Hope drama teen feels better soon. We too have seen several ups and downs with viral/cold this season :-(
Both quilts look great Kate! I think the trimming and making the binding are what slows me down in the binding process.
beautiful quilting, especially on the border - wow and where can I read about your labeling process on the blog - I want to know more. so inspiring
That label will be dynamite! Love the quilting design!!!!
Love that quilting and Geometry is looking fabulous!
