These are pics of my quilt top before the border was added. I used a purple  Kansas Troubles fabric for my border and for the binding that I will be needing.




I also combined two stripe prints for the backing as this is a donation quilt for warmth and not for an exhibit.



With the left over pieces from the quilt top I decided to make two small quilts for  a "Loving Arms" gift. Two of our Guild members organize gifts given to parents of stillborn babies and young babies for whatever reason have passed back to Heaven and to God our Father.





Backing was the same on both quilts and instead of binding I used the backing as the binding.
They were of the same colorway. 


I also have been making masks and received a pic from my son of one I made in early October.












I put spiders inside my daughter's checked masks. I have also started on some Christmas and winter masks.




Working on about 40 masks right now.  I received my first fat quarter bundle of Linework by Tula Pink and 3 1/2 yards of backing of Linework. I do have another fat quarter bundle on order.

Talk again when I finish all these masks! Chatter later and be kind, 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.
