sew what's new?

I have finished big stitch quilting and putting on the binding on my scrappy leftover quilt! All I have left is to put a label on the back! I am so excited. Because now I can move on to the next hand project to finish up. Blocks leftover from "Summer Wedding" The back Close up of big stitching on back I have one block to applique down on my "Autumn Love " quilt. As I have the other blocks put together, and there is only one small border after that. I have about ten more leaves to add on before all has to be sewn down. These two blocks go on ends of crow and urn block. I am so looking forward to retreat in beginning of April with third Saturday group. I just cut the pieces for what I will be working on during the time spent at Craft Camp in Pillager, Minnesota. I have it all in a project bag.                         Rulers, pattern and fabric, in one bag!      ...

I recieved my January copy of Quiltmania. I got a 2 year subscription and a charm pack for $110.00.  Which means I get each issue mailed to my home for $9.17.  A total of twelve issues. I really like the courthouse steps on cover and I also like Thimblecreek's (Joe and Roxie Wood) contribution (Baby Its Cold Outside) inside also. Plus  there is a new Mystery by Karen Styles of Material Obsession. It is a great read and plenty of patterns for the price! Just sayin'... Next is a pic of my quilting frame and a quilt inside. I actually got to roll it about 8 inches yesterday. I am just starting to find my niche with it and my Big Stitch quilting. I am quilting concentric  circles because I thought it would be a good contrast to the squares and  rectangles. After I finish it I plan to give it as a crisis quilt. What you have probably been waiting for, some more Van Gogh from Cherrywood. This one had a lot going on in it. Sorry ...
