sew what's new?

I finished my class quilt and have taken it to the quilter so that it will be ready by the end of May. Then I will have time to bind it before our guild's quilt show in June. The class was taught by Mike  Ellingson from Blue Earth and the quilt was a two fabric bargello. I then preceded to make another, but this time I added the borders..... Some pics of my back yard ducks who come back year after year.... I thought I would use up some of the leftover scraps from other projects and make a baby quilt to practise some machine free motion quilting. I can not get better without practise.... I found this block with just one side,sewn across the diagonal and trimmed off. Then just moving it around to find a plan...... So now I must find the time to make a sandwich and start practising  my quilting. I have also started my quilt on a stick for the quilt show also. I have to embroider some legs on my bird and attach ...

Got my spool quilt back from the quilter and got it bound! Mr. Sew what was my quilt holder on the day before the snowstorm! And now showing the fat quarter flannel backing..... I also finished the top that I was working on from the retreat last week. Our Guild is doing a Mystery called Baker Street by Pat Speth. I finished steps three and four today...... I am also doing the Mystery from my 3rd Saturday Group and finished the block due for April....     This is a large 22 1/2 " block. All for now, chatter with you later, Martha.

Our Pinetree Patchworkers Guild meeting was Monday night and we had a trunk show from a talented quilter named Mike Ellingsen from Blue Earth, Minnesota. I thought I would share some of the pictures that I took. Many beautiful and colorful quilts! Chatter later, Martha
