07 11 10 Design Wall Monday

My work for this past weekend.
A pillow for my friend that admired mine. Done & ready to go.
Two burp cloths for my first GGson due in two weeks. Fun to do.
I decided to add another round of blocks on the log cabin instead of borders. I think I like it. Only 6 more to go.

Daughter said she also wanted to make baby a quilt and I'm proud to say she came and did every stitch herself including the quilting and binding.

A quilt that I made for my first great grandson. We will get to meet him in three weeks when he get born.

Design wall monday

My design wall monday. I'm trying to figure out a different way to border this log cabin top using small 9 patch blocks. Needs more work. See more at http://www.patchworktimes.com/.

Wall hanging

Today I made a wall hanging. Not just any wall hanging this one is special. It is made from fabric that was left over from DD quilt that is almost ready to quilt. Just needs a border. And it is an entry in a contest at hatchedinafrica.com. Wish me luck. I really don't expect to win. Just funnin.

On a roll

I decided to finish up quilts that I had started so this is the second finish. Nice to have them out of my sewing room. This one is for Logan she is my 7 year old gd. I just love her to pieces.

Mom's birthday

I think Mom liked the quilt. At least she said she did.
A good time was had by all and the food was great

I finished a quilt two days ago and today gave it to my mom for her 84th Birthday. She loved it. It is brighter than anything I've ever done and I loved it. Machine appliqued butterflys on black kona cotton and batiks. The butterflys are from hatchedinafrica.com they are nice to work with.

My best friends.

Wedding present

A wedding present for a co-worker.

Design wall monday

This is my design wall today. It has looked the same for a few weeks. All I like is adding some borders which are on the ironing board. Soon it will go on the quilting machine. See more design walls here: http://www.patchworktimes.com/

Deadline

There is nothing like a deadline to get you moving. 2nd Granddaughter decided to get married. I've had this top done for a year so down it came and onto the quilting machine. Two days later bound and ready to go for the Shower in two days. Yea.

A beauty done in Christmas colors. Easy to do and a great effect.

Progress made in Logan Maree's quilt. It's coming along.
Grandma Loves' ya Logan.

Also progress made on gd's Fairyland quilt.

catching up

Another finish. This photo does not do this quilt justice. It is beautiful. Too bright for my taste but pretty.

UFO Finish

This quilt was pieced by a lady probably 40 years ago. Her granddaughter brought it to me to finish.
First I did some repairs then added a pretty red border. Next came quilting, label and binding. I think it is beautiful. Some of the fabrics are too cute. Probably from the 20 & 30's.

Fairyland block number 1. When I finished this block I wanted to do it again it was so much fun. I've started #3.

Future sewist in the works.

A fun day My son and family came and spent a day and night with us.

I showed DIL how to run the Babylock Embroidery machine and she fell in love. She got block two finished. The kids were glued to the machine and DIL really learned quick.
