True Blue

I just finished Kim Diehl's " True Blue"  quilt with binding and combined hand and machine quilting.  I used this stencil....
along each side border and hand quilted it there. I did machine stitch in the ditch around each block.





I have also started my fourth block for my "Wooly Critter Sampler " quilt....
It is a squirrel just in case you can't tell!  I only have a few leaves stitched down so far.  I also went to pick up a baby quilt from Rebecca Anakkala who had finished my Zen Chic  quilt....


It is a modern pattern  with Cherrywood background and a vintage charm square pack. So it is a  modern/vintage combo. And that is what she did with the quilting too! I am so happy with it! I am hopeing with the next few pics that you can see some of the feathers(vintage) and some of the hexies (modern) she has quilted in.








Right now I have four quilts that need to be bound and one queen size one at the quilter's(Bonnie Hunter's Mystery Quilt). Be patient with me.  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.
