sew what's new?

I received my " Chain of Fools" quilt back from Connie on Saturday.  I decided on a binding with a small flange.  The binding is a combo of two fabrics sewn together and then sewn down from the back. And then lastly sewn down on the front. Spring is here! See all that snow in the background.... hasn't stopped people here from wearing shorts and no coats!                                        Even got my label on!                                  All for now, enjoy your day, Martha.

I am ready to start something new today! I fixed my half square triangles in my Chain of Fools by Jen Kingwell.... I took it to be quilted by Connie Krueger. Of course I told her feathers! She has a lot of variety of them. I also finished hand quilting  concentric circles on my scrappy one . They are leftover from a dignity quilt that I did in December of last year. I washed and dried it to get out markings. It is very cuddly. I also put a label on the back. This quilt will be given to Linus or crisis for kids along with these two quilts and teddy bear.... They are hand quilted and all have labels on them. I will deliver them to Brenda Peterson this Saturday. All for now , sun is shining, bless you all for reading! Martha.

I have a  picture of right side of Chain of Fools before adding it to center. I also have made the binding, which I am doing a small flange. Now a pic of the whole top, in doing this I found two half square triangles that are turned the wrong way. So it looks like I will be doing a little frog stitching! Plus I still need to make the backing. So not quite a finish but getting closer. Chatter when I get back from visiting my kids, Martha.

                 Well I have the left side of blocks finished. We got hit with snowstorm last night with more expected Tuesday.  Guess it is a sewing day for sure. I just might finish the right side, cross your fingers. Martha

My Jen Kingwell quilt "Chain of Fools" quilt has the center all together. All I need is four blocks on the right side and four blocks on the left , to be finished. I am hoping to be finished before next Thursday when I leave to see my kids. Looking forward to that. We'll see how things progress. Chatter later, Martha.

I have gotten a little further along with my Jen Kingwell (Chain of Fools) quilt as you see here. Had some errands to run today with hubby, so didn't get to much else done. For those of you in 3rd Saturday group I posted this there, a full frontal of our February block. I will also post here.... I needed a little help to find out where I went wrong, so Brenda, dear sweet Brenda helped me find my error. Thank you again Brenda. Chit chat later, Martha.
