Fall

Fall weather has certainly arrived! Mother Nature threw a party and all the leaves came to play.  HALLOWEEN  will soon be here.  I have been trying to get into the spirit of Autumn. Trying my hand with two small wall hangings from the September/ October issue of Fons and Porter's Love of Quilting magazine.

This is the first one, that is quilted and bound. Still has some frillies to be attached! I used a straw colored cosmos thread and soaked it in starch and wound it around a plastic straw to dry.

Did a few of those and I am supposed to attach them and put on some buttons.
I will show you that when I finish. This was given to the magazine by Kari Carr of New Leaf Stitches Designs.

 I have also started a small  wall hanging from the same magazine and same issue by Lori Smith. It is a small 12" quilt.


Hope you like the little peep show I am giving you. Will show you more later. 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.
