A Little of This,

Well I received my package from Bumble Beans (A.K.A .-Victoria Findley Wolfe)  .  It has been finished and back in the mail for a quick round trip! Don't like obligations hanging around.

This is the block I sent her back and the next one is the block I kept and finished it into a candle mat!

I just stitched in the ditch and bound with a stripe. I used single ,1 1/2" binding. I then preceded to add a bit of bling by adding crystals to the ornaments.

Into the gift bag it will go,for now!  I also finished my Pam Buda blocks ,that she gave us Friday on her blog! I am assuming that directions for putting together will be next Friday!





I also bound and quilted my Lisa Bonegan free block (candle mat size also) .

Sherry Falls from THIS AND THAT  fame is doing another mystery on Mondays.  Last Monday was a needs list and from that it looks to be a small project also! Love the small things , you get so much done!
To my good friend, the package is on its way!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.
