Preoccupied

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, more like lap size. I have  already given this to the quilter also.

 I thought you might like a better view of one block. I will get a picture of whole quilt when Connie if finished with it.

Our guild is doing a mystery block of the month. It is by Pat Speth who wrote "Nickel Quilts" book. She came to our guild to speak and also gave a class. I have a partially done quilt, that I need to finish from that class. I plan to hand quilt it when I finish.  For the mystery, I have picked out my fabrics for it and have finished the first clues.

These are fabrics for my stash.



first clue

 I have also picked out my fabric choices for my mystery quilt for my Third Saturday Quilt group. I have the first clue, but will be working on it later today, hopefully.

These pieces are my background pieces. It is a totally scrappy quilt.

So my day is going to be fun filled! At least that's what I am feeling. 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.
