Be Still My Beating Heart !

 

I was asked to accompany some special ladies to a super bowl quilt fabric sale. My momma did not raise a fool! I went!

Sale fabric was four dollars a yard! So I came home with a few  pretty things that I could not live without.  Like these…

Four dollars a yard ! Fat quarters were 50 cents a piece! So you know I got a few of those too.

Forty to be exact .  Got a few other pieces to fill in a few colors that needed a boost in my stash.

I also finished the flowers on my hexie quilt and took it to the quilter. But of course I wanted you to see it first.

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.
