Working On

I have another block for "Sophie's Garden" prepped and started.....



I started a new pieced quilt called "Sassy" by Quilting on the Curve.  This designer lives not to far from me and she lives on a curve!  She has visited our guild in the past couple of months. Here is my first block of the nine needed for the quilt.

The block itself is a large one about 21 1/2 " square.  But I love the colors! They are all Kaffe Fasset fabrics.

 I have also been doing a project in the garage with my husband. All I helped with was standing and holding things so they would not move. Wiped off glue with a wet rag( his fingers and some wood pieces). Gave some advice (not always taken).  Provided companionship thru the process. 




This is to hold quilts and stand about 5'9" tall and will come out about !5" from the wall you put it against. I don't have one of those nice antique ladders to display quilts on, but this should do. It has been sanded but I need to get him some wood putty to fill in those small nail holes before I can stain it.
nails in sides.
I am also debating on whether or not to put a shelf onto the top.

 Chatter more 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.
