BABY QUILT

IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE I HAVE HAD A NEED FOR A BABY QUILT. NEITHER FOR MYSELF NOR GRANDKIDS. YOUNGEST  ARE  9 AND OLDEST IS 20. BEST TO KEEP IN SHAPE THOUGH THE GRANSON  MIGHT BE READY IN FIVE YEARS OR SO.  SO I VOLUNTEERED TO MAKE A BABY QUILT FOR THE STORE ;  AND I REALLY LIKE HOW IT TURNED OUT.  IT IS FROM A PANEL ( IN THE MIDDLE OF QUILT ) AND THE PATTERN I USED IS CALLED SPOTLIGHT BY KARI NICHOLS.



THE PANEL IS OF THE THREE LITTLE PIGS.

THIS MORNING  I WAS ROOTING AROUND IN MY SEWING ROOM AND FOUND THE MAKINGS FOR THESE LITTLE NOTEBOOKS.  SO I TOOK SOME TIME WHILE HUBBY WAS ICE FISHING TO MAKE THEM.  I HAVE A COUPLE OF SICK FRIENDS THAT I WANT TO SEND  A LITTLE PACKAGE OF CHEER TO THEM.

VARIETY IS SPICE OF LIFE

A LITTLE LOOKSEY INSIDE!
WELL I AM OFF TO START SUPPER NOW THANKS FOR LISTENING, 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.
