sew what's new?

I have been looking for a pattern and a quilt top for over a week. At this point and time still have not found it. From all the searching,  I thought I should finish up some of the old projects and get them out of the way. It is hard not to start something new, when you feel that urge. So I decided I must finish one thing old,  before I can do some thing new. We'll see how long that lasts! I recently tried something new with foods and it was delicious! I highly recommend this. There are several others we may later try. It makes way too much for just me and hubby, so next time I will cut in half.   I finished this Pat Speth pattern of Jacob's Ladder block. I had started this in a class with her from our guild. This is using my scraps in five inch squares.  And yes I put it on top of the snow on my deck.  It is a small lap quilt. It will be donated for charity.               I pieced together a backing ...

Sorry I have been a bit preoccupied with other things. For those of you who have been inquisitive, my  husband came thru his surgery just fine . He is on the mend! Praise God for that! I have been working on my grey quilts for my granddaughter and have progressed quite nicely I think.  60" x 60" This is a nice scrappy quilt that used 2 charm packs of a Jen Kingwell fabric line and 10 fat quarters of grey fabric. I used remaining grey fabric on the backing. I have taken it to the quilter's a few weeks ago. It went together quite quickly. I got back my quilt project from Connie for the Habitat for Humanity. And asked Connie to give it at last guild meeting ,after I had bound it and put a label on it. I then proceeded on to work on my grey quilts. Making these swans from an Elizabeth Hartman 's "Swans" pattern. But I decided to do my own setting with just these nine blocks. Sarah wants quilts on the smaller side, mor...

I have been doing  few small quilts for my grandson's wife. Do I call her my granddaughter?  She wants mainly grey quilts , so I have been doing a lot of scrappy. She got herself a quilt ladder at a antique fair last summer. I am helping her fill it up. I made 175 of these nine patches which measured 2 3/4" each. I proceeded to make a small 45" square quilt.                                        I like this one a lot! This one is a bit larger, 68" x 68". The pattern is called "Gertie". I will be making one of these for myself later. I have a retreat later in January and will be working on another for her. Now I must work on cutting out the pieces. Chatter later, Martha.
