A little finish and a new camera
I just finished binding the little quilt I blogged about previously (but darn if I can find when it was, otherwise I’d link to it). It’s another I had quilted by Bellwether. I hope you aren’t getting tired of hearing me say that. I am on hiatus from antique quilt shopping (still antique quilt admiring, though) because the prices have crept up and the deals are harder to come by. Besides, I am finding it so much more fun to send my completed tops off for hand quilting and these little quilts don’t have the storage problems of the big ones.
This is a busy quilt so it is hard to appreciate the hand quilting when looking at the front. I enjoy admiring the work from the back. Yes, I see those threads I still need to trim off.
Don’t you just love the close cross-hatching?
I lost my camera when we were at the graduation in Florida. I thought I would be stylish and ditch the tote bag I usually lug around for a cute little purse. The family didn’t get the memo and still dumped everything they were carrying onto me. My purse runneth over, as they say, and the camera escaped. It wasn’t anything fancy but was blissfully simple to use. I am going to a quilty event this Wednesday and needed a replacement – fast. Wish me luck as I try to learn the new one I just bought.
I love little quilts and to have it hand quilted is very special.
What a gorgeous little quilt. I love the hand quilting. Beautiful!!!

Beautiful quilt and great quilting. I love the look of cross-hatch too.
That's a great finish and such a lovely wee quilt. You're so lucky you can get hand quilting services, it's lovely to see.
The hand quilting on your little quilt is so nice and consistent. Nice finish!
I love the little quilt. The blue and pink borders are a great combination. Of course, the hand quilting is wonderful My two little quilts are there now.
I love this little "vintage" quilt. I made one very similar in 2008. I blogged it here:
