TAKING A TURN

MY DESIGN FOR THE SCRAPPY PLATE CLUB IS TAKING A TURN , I THINK.  I AM MAKING  SOME CHANGES.




I AT FIRST WAS GOING FOR BLUE CENTERS, BUT HAVE DECIDED TO MODIFY THAT BY

ADDING YELLOW CENTERS.  THAT IS WAX PAPER CIRCLES IRONED ONTO THE BACK

OF FABRIC WAITING TO BE CUT OUT WITH 1/4" LEFT AROUND THEM.


THESE ARE PARTIAL PLATES WITH ONLY FOUR SEWN TOGETHER TO FORM A

PARTIAL FAN OR PLATE.


I HAVE ONLY SIX THAT ARE FULL DRESDEN PLATES.  I DO NOT NEED LARGE QUILTS ,

BUT PREFER SMALLER ONES TO HANG  ON  MY HALL WALL.  SO DOING A BIT OF

REDESIGN  FOR MY NEEDS.


I HAVE ALSO GOT MY BLOCK READY FOR TOMORROW'S CLASS IN STITCH THERAPY. 

IT HAS BEEN COLORED IN WITH CRAYON AND THE VASE IS TEMPORARILY  TACKED

DOWN  AND WAITING TO BE SEWN DOWN.  I HAVE DECIDED ALL MY VASES WILL BE

OUT OF THE SAME MATERIAL.

NEEDLE AND THREAD MEND THE TEARS IN YOUR SPIRIT.  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.
