Quilt #109

My 8 year old granddaughter has suddenly become enamored with pandas! All pandas all the time. After finishing La Luna Lobo, I discovered that there was a panda puzzle pattern. I decided that Emily needed it. Figured I had to get it done quickly - never know when she might move on to something else! I finished it today. I only quilted in the panda and the small pink border so I hope it holds up for her. I'm going to give it to her tomorrow since I will be taking her sister to soccer practice.

I found the perfect fabric on line for the back!

 

I machine sewed the binding and I'm not wild about it, but it is done! And Emily is going to love it!

Quilt #108

Marie and I took an animal puzzle class at Quilt Country a few weeks ago. She is doing a polar bear and I opted for the wolf. The pattern is called La Luna Lobo. I was able to place all the pieces of the wolf while I was in class, but then it just sat around unfinished while I finished the monkey quilt for Helen and worked on the rainbow birch trees for Megan. Marie needed some help getting restarted on her polar bear so she came over one afternoon and we got all the pieces placed on the bear. I decided that I would really like to actually finish my wolf. Well, today I did so! Yesterday, I finished the border and today I quilted it and put the binding on. After the fiasco with the tension on the monkey quilt, I spent about an hour playing with the tension. Had it perfect and then decided that I waned to use blue thread instead of yellow and that threw the tension off again! However, I think I managed to get it - at least it is leaps and bounds better than the monkey quilt!

 

Marie and I are going to Quilt Country tomorrow because they are having a sale, so I'm going to take it to show our teacher who happens to own the quilt shop.
