A QUILTING WE WILL GO!

  I WENT TO MY QUILTER THIS MORNING , MARY HAMMER , AND I BROUGHT TWO WALL HANGINGS WITH ME . THEY WERE ABOUT THE SIZE OF BABY QUILTS.  I TOOK MY HALLOWEEN  WALL HANGING, FROM THE LAST POST. AND MY BOW TIE WALL HANGING.



THIS WAS MY PIECED BACKING. THESE WERE THE LEFTOVERS FROM THE FRONT OF THE QUILT.   I KNEW NEXT YEAR I WOULD WANT TO BUY NEW HALLOWEEN FABRICS FOR MY PROJECTS ;  SO  I  DECIDED TO USE THEM UP.  I DO NOT BUY THAT MANY HALLOWEEN FABRICS.  ALSO MARY'S YOUNGEST DAUGHTER  HAD GIVEN ME SOME FABRIC SHE HAD SEWN TOGETHER LIKE A PATCH,  I TOLD HER WHEN SHE GAVE IT TO ME IT LOOKED LIKE PEOPLE WITH THIER HEADS CUT OFF.  I PUT THIS PATCH SHE HAD SEWN ON THE BACK OF MY QUILT.   PERFECT FOR MY HALLOWEEN QUILT.




MY BACKING FOR MY BOW TIE QUILT WAS AS YOU SEE BELOW.






MARY  IS SO NICE TO WORK WITH . SHE PICKS OUT THE THREAD FOR ME.  AND THEN SHE KNOWS IF SHE HAS A QUILTING PATTERN THAT WILL WORK OUT BETTER THAN SOMETHING I PICKED FROM A BOOK.  SHE HAS THOUSANDS OF PATTERNS TO CHOOSE FROM.  I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED EVERYTHING SHE DOES FOR ME. THANK YOU MARY!  ALL FOR NOW,  MARTHA.

  I have been doing some more sewing of flying geese, the past couple of days.  I have made some progress as I have about twenty sashings total sewn now.  Here are pics of what I have finished so far. I also got back another lap quilt from the quilter and I have sewn down the binding on the front side. In the evenings I am enjoying hand sewing the back side.   I also purchased some Applipops  , which were a bit on the expensive side($35) and decided to try them for all the circles in this quilt. They are not worth the price in my opinion.  To each his own. I prefer my mylar circle washers, There are many more sizes and easier to use.
