Summer Day Sewing

Some days the weather is so beautiful, you just have to take your work outside.
Three sides to go in handsewing down the binding.

My super-supportive and observant husband came up with the idea for my next project.  We lost our beautiful dog Kasey about a month ago (blogged about here and here) and have been slowly deciding what to do with all her things.  This is a collection of scarves from her spa days over the years:
Mr. KayakQuilting observed that triangles were a common shape used in quilting and suggested "we" make a quilt...great idea!  A little while later, this random collection of various shaped triangles became this pile:
...on the way to being a Kasey Kerchief Quilt.

Hope you have a wonderful weekend.

  1. What a view for finishing a binding! Will be looking for finished-project photos. I think your husband's idea to use the kerchiefs to make a quilt honoring Kasey is a wonderful one.

  6. That is the most ingenuous idea ever! Aren't husbands grand when they support what you do? Can hardly wait to see the finished quilt top.
