Two Cuties

I had the opportunity to babysit two little twelve year olds this past week.  They were adorable and good company!  They did not get into any mischief and stayed by my side waiting for any loving and petting.


Their names are Sasha and Roxie.  They were very good company to have!

 I also made up the apron pattern I recently purchased in autumnal colors with orange dot binding.
Pocket has orange dot trim.


Orange binding all the way around.
I have also made a purchase of two very good books.  One is "At Home with Country Quilts" by Cheryl Wall.


The second is "A Bag of Scraps" by Edie McGinnis.
There are some pages with very interesting history facts in this one. Younger generations should read this and appreciate what others have gone thru.   

 I really do appreciate all of you out there who stop to read this blog and who leave a comment once in a while. You make me blessed! 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.
