BOW TIES AND BRACKMAN!


I DID DECIDE TO ADD A 3 1/2" BORDER TO MY BOW TIE QUILT.   WITH FIVE ROWS ACROSS AND SIX ROWS DOWN.  JUST THE RIGHT SIZE TO HANG ON MY WALL  OR TO PUT ON MY TABLE.   IT WAS ON THE ADVICE OF MY QUIRKY SIDE TO ADD THE  CHEDDAR BOW TIES.



THIS  IS MY BARBRA BRACKMAN BLOCK  # 44 .THIS IS A FREE BLOCK GIVEN  BY BARBRA , WEEKLY ON SATURDAY MORNINGS  FROM HER BLOG ON CIVIL WAR QUILTS.  THERE ARE A TOTAL OF 52 BLOCKS TO BE GIVEN, SO WE ARE ALMOST AT THE END OF OUR TRAIL.  SHE HAS ALSO GIVEN A LAYOUT FOR THE BLOCKS ALSO ;  HOWEVER I THINK I WILL USE MY OWN  LAYOUT . I DON'T WANT A QUILT AS LARGE AS HERS WILL TURN OUT.  I PREFER SMALLER.

TODAY HAS BEEN A NICE FALL DAY ,  AS FALL DAYS GO.  JUST A LIGHT JACKET NEEDED.  NO SNOW AS OF YET;UNLIKE THOSE COLD EASTERN  STATES!!  STAY INSIDE AND STITCH!

ALL FOR NOW ,
MARTHA

Onward!

  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.

Daughter Called

Image
My daughter called and asked if I would make her a couple of quilts! Of course I said yes, I love sharing my quilting with her. She  found a block she liked on pinterest in black,greys and white. I drew out my pattern on graph and began piecing until I got this.... and I found the most perfect soft snuggle backing.... So I now just have to take it to the quilter! I have also put up a small Christmas tree in the living room. I finished a small churn dash quilt of Fig Tree fabrics that I started at retreat in the beginning of November. I also finished my candle in the window log cabin quilt.... I started a few circle  blocks. I am going to use various blue backgrounds with my Kaffe and Tula scraps. All for now,chatter later, Martha.
