Happy Birthday to me ;c)




It's mah birthday!
And what will I be doing today?!
I've been working on a T-shirt quilt for a customer. These quilts are made up of some GORGEOUS t-shirts . . so the quilts will be awesome.


The blank areas of the quilt I filled in with some fancy quilting. There were two plain white areas I added to this quilt. In one area I appliqued "2012" with raw-edge applique. In the other I free-motion embroidered the girl's name "Molly" with a wide, zig-zag stitch.

The school colors are Burgundy and White. I'm using burgundy as the backing fabric and right now I am planning on binding in black. Just because I think black will look much better than white. ;c)
