Class Quilt

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 a worm, then I can finish sewing on the back and binding.



Chatter with you later, Martha.

  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.
