Fourth of July

Hope all had a nice fourth of July!  With good weather for all . 

 My hubby and I went to the movies today and saw "The Lone Ranger" with Johnny Depp. Good movie with humor on the side.

 Finished quilting my Edyta Sitar quilt.  Have it hanging on my wall.




Got it bound and up also put a little surprise label on the back.

My friend Mary Ann a while back gave me some  2" square scraps 
which I decided to make nine patch squares with. I ended up with a pile like these....
very scrappy piles, with which I decided to make placemats with and donate to our quilting guild which gives them to our local Meals On Wheels program.



 
Thought maybe I might put some yo yo's on them or a few hexies.

 I am still working on my "Love Entwined" by Esther Alieu. I will be doing a little hand sewing tonight to catch up.
Will chit chat 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.
