First Snow

We had our first snow and some of it even lasted till the next day.  We are fastly approaching our 2nd week in November , with Christmas and Thanksgiving  not that far away!  I again have a few pics for you, first up are two more alphabet blocks from Temecula Quilt co.'s free pattern.....

The letters are "R" and "Q"!

 I also have a baby quilt  ready to go the quilter's. It has Cherrywood background (pinkish melon colored) and one charm pack of "Papilion".  The pattern is by ZEN CHIC,  called "Child's Play".





We had some lovely show and tell at our " Simple Whatnots"  club on Tuesday. So I must share what I can....
Sandi Baker made this Kim Diehl pattern and it is large and very heavy! But sooooo beautiful!
This also belongs to Sandi and she loves to hand quilt, so click on pic and enlarge to see this wonderful quilting!
She also does beautiful needle-turn applique, just drool over her borders!
This is Mary Amiot and her " Idaho Lily" quilt  from Simple Whatnots club.
This is Susan  hiding behind a quilt! I believe it was made by Anne Manly.
 This is Gail Temple behind that appliqued ribbon wreath!


This is a table runner with a bit of applique also!


This is Elly showing us a pattern by Lisa Bonjean , which she plans to start.
This is a quilt by Jan with prairie points in the inner border.
I believe this is one of Sandi Baker's quilts also. Check out the nine patches!
I think this is Mary  Thuerer that has hidden her face successfully behind this table runner!

 I started writing this blog entry a few days ago and got side tracked. It is now Monday, November 11th and looking out at the white out blizzard parked here  I will not be going anywhere today. Hopefully by tonight they might have the roads plowed so that I may go and see Victoria Findlay Wolfe speak at our guild's meeting. Wish me luck on that one, chatter 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.
