A Few Finishes

I promised my granddaughter a pencil case. Since she is going to NIU(Northern Illinois University), next year I thought I would try and find some husky material. That is thier mascot. No such luck ,but I did find some wolf head material which I think will pass. 


I put my hand up against it to show her about how big it was. 
Hope you can see the wolf head slash Husky head! It got put in the post today.

 I also finished quilting and binding my heart quilt for "Loving Arms".


I have been good at doing a few blocks from my 2 1/2" bin each day. The block directions came with nine ways to set it. I thought that I would try a few of them before I get to far along.....



I think I like the last one the best. We'll see, there is still a ways to go for  81 blocks are made.


Chatter with you later, Martha. Thanks for stopping by.

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.
