Quilts of September #29



Quilts of September #29 

Pneuma
(the vital spirit, soul, or creative force of a person)

74 x 87




I finished the top in March 2020. The quilt started with some low volume strings, these hearts and a picture of a vintage string quilt. 



I big stitched hand quilted it with a variety of pastel perle cottons. 











Technically this is not a quilt since it does not have batting. It's a summer quilt or coverlet. 

After finishing 28 quilts this month for donation (a couple will be gifted) I finished this one for me.

And that's the grand finale for September.  Since I hurt my back in a fall and am still in a little pain (mostly when I get up and down from seated position)  I won't be getting on the floor to pin baste any more quilts for a few days.

Enjoy using the coverlet. A bit of R&R is what you need. Look after your back.

Wowee -- 29 quilts finished in one month! Take some time off to rest up . . . the scraps are calling you for October.

You had a terrific month and cleared out a lot of blocks, pieces, and tops waiting for quilting. I hope you have some fun projects lined up to start in October.

Okay, I hereby declare that September will henceforth have only 29 days, in honor of your A Quilt For Every Day in September. (The date formerly known as September 30th will now be called Cathy Day for obvious reasons)

What a wonderful way to wind up a month of quilt finishes. Rest up and let that that back heal. You've got lots of new projects to get underway.

I love all your quilts. I am glad that you were able to accomplish so much this month before you fell. You’ll be better soon after resting on ( and under) such comfortable laurels. I wish you all the best.

You had a fantastic September, quilt-wise. This coverlet quilt in low volumes is so lovely! Take care of yourself and your back! xo

Technically it IS a quilt, it is quilted! Pieced tops that get tied are not technically quilts because they are NOT quilted.
