The Last One!

Friday I finished my last Kim Diehl quilt from Simple Whatnots II. I have a few pics of the quilt in each progressive state. The name of this small quilt is "Village Square" in patchwork.

Quilted and bound.
My guild is having a quilt show in June, an they have extended a challenge to all members. We are to construct a small quilt (18"  x 18" ) and use some muslin  fabric with  different words referring to home. I colored my fabric with ink and cut it apart and appliqued to the quilt.  I also have some crysals sewn on and watch gears. There are some embroidery stitches and lace to embellish. In the center is a picture put on fabric of a woman, who represents a mother and center of the home!



I still have to layer,quilt and bind.I needed this ready for May 11th, as it has to have a picture to enter in the show in June.  I am linking up with  Slow Stitching Sunday. 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.
