Quilt of Gratitude

After a few mis-steps , I finally have a finish to my log cabin Quilt of Gratitude. I sewed the last two rows to the wrong side of the four by four row square. You'll see with a picture....



So I did some frog sewing and ripped it out and put it back together! I also decided to only use a small 2 1/2" border instead of 3 rounds of 2 1/2" borders. I didn't need the extra length.



Got the backing put together and ready for the quilter. I did start making masks. I have been making the ones with bread ties for bendable shapeing around the nose and pocket for extra filter.

                   You can see wire in pocket before sewing it in.

I made one from 100% cotton and one from flannel. I will be making more of these until my elastic runs out. Chatter later, Martha.

 P.S. I will be undergoing a Cardioinversion procedure this Friday morning. Prayers will be greatly appreiciated. Lord's will be done.

  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.
