Been A Little Busy

Sew Wonderful gave us two Christmas patterns to try this season, both of which are free on their blog. I decided to try the ornament pattern with my mini QCR .

I enjoyed seeing it come together and think I will make a couple more and make a table runner. I also had been working on the quilt from the cover of Betsy Chutchian's book "Classic and Heirloom Quilts.

Connie Krueger quilted it for me, so I got the binding on it right away. It is lap size 45 1/2" by 58 1/2". 

This is a pic of back . Four left over blocks and fabric leftover from fat quarters. Also included leftover red Cherrywood I used for binding and accent blocks. 

I wasn't very energetic this year and only put up small pre-lit tree.

I made a couple of star wars pillowcases for my grandson and sent them and a couple of ornaments for his tree.


I made this small spool wall hanging, I really love this fabric.


I did get my Christmas quilt hung up. The creche, star, sheep , Shepherd and angel are wool applique. The trees are Cherrywood fabric bundle. The excess blocks are on the back.


Thanks for stopping by, talk 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.
