sew what's new?

I made my granddaughter a table runner that was bright green with colorful flowers on it. The green was to cover Saint Patrick's Day, and the flowers for April and May. I also got back her last star quilt from Connie Krueger, who quilted it. So I was able to add the label and the binding and mail them both off today! The front of "Sweet Blend" by Edyta Sitar. Scrappy back with label in upper left hand corner. Now back to hand applique on Lori Holt's "Autumn Love". Connie and I are going on a road trip to Randall tomorrow, might be some fat quarters involved. Just saying , could happen. Chatter later, Martha.

I have finally finished the fifth grey quilt for my grand-daughter's quilt ladder!  It was a pattern from Edyta Sitar named " Sweet Blend". I then went to some of my scraps and leftover blocks to see what I could do to lower the piles. I decided on place mats for meals on wheels program.  So over the last few snowy ,cold days; I finished ten place mats. I really didn't want to go out if I didn't have to.  I also finished my second row of geese for the mystery in my 3rd Saturday group. And the larger star block that was needed! Hoping for some nicer weather for The Shortest Shop Hop that is this Friday and Saturday! Don't forget to visit Colorz quilt shop and Country Fabrics !!! Chatter later , Martha.

The last of five quilts for my granddaughter's quilt ladder is a pattern by Edyta Sitar called "Sweet Blend".  I am making the stars with different greys and background will be a black eclectic print. About half the way there! I forgot to share a  picture of what I did with leftover blocks from my "Summer Wedding" quilt. I am hoping to hand quilt this and make it a donation quilt. Got this quilt back from quilter and have label put on and binding sewn down.                          Pic of my backing with top leftovers.  You can see my label in left hand corner of quilt.                                The last three flower blocks. I hope to bring this quilt top to quilter to also be basted for me to do some  hand quilting. It is only about 52" square, not that large....
