Sew Sunshine

Finally getting around to posting my challenge piece. I struggled so much coming up with something I liked using these fabrics. I did get something done as you see, and I submitted it but alas it was not accepted.  I do think that I was a tiny bit disappointed but then again I have been really distracted from sewing because of a recent illness with my husband. So, I am just now pulling up my knee socks and moving forward. I call this "Spumoni Sunshine".  It is pretty small at 30" w x 28" l with spiral quilting.   I used the fat eights that were sent and a bit more of the yellow and white and then gray and black of the MM  solids.  If at first you don't succeed, try, try again...right?  So maybe next time. :) Linking up with WIP wed with Lee HERE and Let's Bee social with Lorna HERE

   Do you make special coordinated labels for on your quilts?  any kind of label????   When I first started back into quilting I was making little tabs and writing info about the quilt on them sometimes. I usually always put the year it was finished on. Then I got kind of lazy and now I have quilts I don't have labeled....not even a hand written date. sigh..... So not much sewing going on here of late but I was just working on the back of my Micheal Miller pastel challenge and made some scraps into a label of a sort that I think will work. I will probably still hand write on it but at least it will have a permanent label. I think in the new year I am going to invest in some logo type labels that I can sew in the seams of my pieces. For now I am going to try to make scrappy labels before I forget about them. Best laid plans..... Happy Thanksgiving! Linking up with Lorna at Let's BeeSocial HERE and Lee at WIP Wed HERE
