Does Absense Make The Heart Grow Fonder?

Might just make you forget about them. Oh well, been busy,been working. Every now and then you have to do something with Mr. Sew and keep him happy. Sometimes every day chores get pushed aside and you have to catch up!

 I finished Pam Buda's blocks and decided to add a border to it.  I then took it to a friend and asked her to quilt it for me. So here it is unfinished.
I got my Remembrance quilt back from the quilter's and it was done in a meander so that the pictures would be able to be seen. I bound it in a crackle red fabric.

Here is a pic of the back. 


I would also like to give you a couple of pics of my special quilt label done with thread sketching and the sewing machine.
Feed dogs down ,  black thread in upper and lower , fabric in hoop with drawn pic on wash-a-way stabilizer. I used a linen to sew on.  Haven't sewn it down yet.



I work four days this week so might not chit chat to much, but take care and get to your sewing machine. It is cheaper than a docter! 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.
