Finished the Basket Quilt

Happy July 5th! I hope you got to spend time with those you love and that you had a safe and happy holiday. Here are some photos of the Basket quilt that I finally finished.

This is the first quilt that I've finished using the machine sewn binding with a little flange:

It was fast and easy. The tutorial is from 52 Quilts . It is so strange to sew the binding onto the back and then pull it around to the front. But its's SO much faster than stitching down the binding by hand!

I'm (hopefully) selling this little quilt to help pay for Lola's vet bills.

I don't even have Charlie's vet bill paid off yet...sigh. She's totally worth it though. She's on pain meds that I have to give her twice a day and I have to say, she detects that pill no matter what I try to hide it in, eats around it and spits it out. She's so smart! I'm also working on the never ending quilt repair project:

So I'm off to work some more on this quilt repair. Have a wonderful weekend and lots of fun! XO from Bev

Thanks for the flange tutorial link - I clicked on it, but it didn't work, so I searched for it and here is the link:

To All My Dogs Who Have Gone On Before Me

An Important Personal Message

My dear friends - Have you noticed that the world seems to be getting more and more evil and corrupt? Have you ever wondered, assuming that Revelations is true, where we are time-wise and what will happen in the last days? At the bottom of this page, there is a 7 minute video that has no narration, just Bible facts about the sequence of events and where we might be. Of course, some of you won't think this is important, some of you might look at the video to see what the Bible does say and some of you may be offended and unfollow me. I personally believe that time is short. We are at 30 seconds to midnight. Things are coming this year that will affect the USA. Watch or not. I mean no offense. If I believe there is something to warn you about and I don't do it, I will be held accountable. I care about what happens to all of us. In love!
