Summer’s End.
Posted on | February 28, 2026 | No Comments
Summer’s End sounds like it should be the name of a quaint English village.
There I go. Off track and distracted before I even start!
Okay, today is officially the last day of Summer for us, but it never feels like it. In fact I think March is one of the best weather months that we have. Usually lots of sunny days that are hot but never unpleasant. At least I can get outside to take quilt photos.
This quilt top is a UFO that is not a UFO. Sounds like a riddle.
I had 3 charm packs and some yardage that all went together. I kept to a simple layout with diagonal stripes in similar colours and shades. It ended up at around 60 by 60 inches. I had put the first border on and had it hanging over a rail in my sewing room. A group of friends came around for a sewing afternoon and one of them spotted this quilt top and commented on how much she liked the colours and layout. So i offered it to her to keep, with the idea that I would finish it and pass it over. No, she was prepared to find some backing and quilt it herself. Win, win as far as I was concerned.
I added the last border and now it is ready to pass on. So, even though the quilt is not finished, I am.
I have finished the stitching on the last of my Birdhouse stitcheries. Now that all three are done I will quilt and bind them at the same time.
I used a lovely Christmas themed variegated thread from Threadworx.
I needed an easy project to have on hand and I decided to use up a lot of the leftover yarn from several crochet blankets. I have ended up with a selection of squares that will be joined together and then have a border added.
None of my children are interested in any of the crochet blankets I make, but when the grandchildren stay over, they are the first ones to grab a crochet blanket to snuggle under on the couch. So maybe it skips a generation.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
Cheers, Karen
