Simply Charming Scrappy Yahoo Group

A new Yahoo group has been started  by Tara Lynn Darr, author of the book "Simply Charming". Both I and Karen Martin of MooseBay Muses Blog have joined  with many others. It is for those of us who enjoy scrappy quilts! Here, I thought we all did!

  I have  lost  misplaced my hexagons that I was working on last week .  I know that I shall find them, I even looked in my pocket. ( Inside joke) Not that I have nothing else scrappy that I am working on. For instance , my hexie diamonds which are scrappy, are just now getting put together with a black hexies.




Also if you look back a couple of posts I finished "Virginia's Star Quilt "  by Lori Smith.  So the remnants did not go to waste ,  I used some in Pam Buda's , Journey Three Quilt , A Light In The Window.  The blocks are 3 1/2 " unfinished churn dash blocks.

The red fabric was not in Lori Smith's quilt that I put together. However I liked it as an accent in this small quilt.
More likely than not I am working with scraps!  Well I must continue on looking for my scrappy hexagons because I have their borders picked out for my table runner.  Chit chat later, Nascar is on! 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.
