Quiltmania and Cherrywood

I recieved my January copy of Quiltmania. I got a 2 year subscription and a charm pack for $110.00.  Which means I get each issue mailed to my home for $9.17.  A total of twelve issues.

 I really like the courthouse steps on cover and I also like Thimblecreek's (Joe and Roxie Wood) contribution (Baby Its Cold Outside) inside also. Plus  there is a new Mystery by Karen Styles of Material Obsession. It is a great read and plenty of patterns for the price! Just sayin'...

 Next is a pic of my quilting frame and a quilt inside. I actually got to roll it about 8 inches yesterday. I am just starting to find my niche with it and my Big Stitch quilting.

I am quilting concentric  circles because I thought it would be a good contrast to the squares and  rectangles. After I finish it I plan to give it as a crisis quilt.

 What you have probably been waiting for, some more Van Gogh from Cherrywood.




This one had a lot going on in it.


Sorry I didn't get more , but these were my faves from the few they had on view. Hope you enjoyed the pics . If you get a chance to see the traveling Van Gogh Challenge, take the opportunity, beautiful works of art themselves.

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.
