Finally a Post!

I felt I could not do a post until I had Bonnie Hunter's "Grand Illusion"  all put together to show you.   I took it to the quilter's yesterday, but rest assured I took some pics before I did that. Might be a few pics after I get that back, too!  


A look at the borders.
It felt good to finish and move on to some ufo's to finish.

 I have a hexagon flower one I am working on. I have finished two more blocks this past week....


These have a backround piece of Kim Diehl's fabric line "Hearthside Seasons" from a couple of years ago.  The hexagons are made from two charm packs of "Jelly Bean" by Laundry basket Quilts.
I also finished one more block of a quilt I had started about two or three years ago, let me show you first the block I had already finished  then....


Last night I finished another.....


It is wool and flannel , the pattern is "Wooly Critter Sampler" by Brandywine Designs (Linda Hohag is the designer, a Minnesotan lady).  It will have a scrappy backround.

  So I am out of my sewing tunnel with Bonnie Hunter, yeh!!! Stay warm and stay safe , chatter with you 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.
