Summer Visitors Coming!

My son and granddaughter are coming for a visit this week! I am very excited! So the posts will be slow this week.

 Yesterday in the post I received the pattern " Mosiacs" from Irene Blanck Of "Focus on Quilts". She has some simply lovely patterns you should take the time to see. See here  www.focusonquilts.com.au/patterns



 Maybe you will find your masterpiece to work on.  

 I worked on my Lucy Boston from Red Brolly's Stitchin Club.



The New  York City Modern quilt guild is sponsering  a double wedding ring challenge.   I only have to make four conjoined blocks  for the traditional entry and layer and quilt. See bumblebeansinc.blogspot.com  and see July 18th post. So this is the start of my double  wedding rings.  I have eight more arcs half way done.


I am useing  "Field Notes" By Blackbird Designs by Moda.  I purchased a jelly roll . Hope that is enough for the four blocks.

I am also patiently waiting for the next QuiltMania magazine. That and Primitive Quilts and Projects are my two favorite magazines. They both have so much poured into each issue.  Moda had a pic of a Minmick and Simpson quilt in it. 


There is also a red version with a much more interesting border.


I must get started on a little cleaning and touch up before every one arrives , so all the chit chat for now. 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.

 I have finally come to the decision to not continue this blog. They are deleting feedburner service, that sends the blog to your e mail. Thank you for reading my blog and encouraging me these past years. Thank you again. Martha.

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.
