what I'm working on and stash

Here is a quilt I've been working on for at least 9 years. Lets get it finished. Well maybe I will.

I was torn between the gold and the green print for borders but this picture tells me I need the print.

This one only needs small borders to stop the eye and it will be ready to quilt.

My stash tubs I keep 1.5 inch, 2, 2.5 strips. Also 1.5, 2, 2.5 & 3.5 blocks.

My stash closet. Just a messed up bunch of fabrics that I got on sale I also see some silk on top.

 

More blocks made

Wanting to make a wall hanging or throw out of these.

What I'm working on

I've had these stitched out for awhile now its time to make something with them.

Wall hanging for quilting room

I've had this for awhile years really finally got tired of the clutter in the sewing room and finished it. It really brightens things up.

Before binding my newly finished quilt I made a label. Here is the finished quilt and label.

Sold a quilt

A customer brought a quilt top to me to quilt and her mother came

I showed them my quilts and she said this one needs to go home with me. So it did. Mark it sold.

Celtic Soltice progress

Rows 1 & 2 together and row 3 ready to attach I still have some blocks to make but I have to stop and do some quilting for customers

Too see more quilts that are being made with this pattern go to

Bonnies site Lots of quilts to see some in other colors.

Finished Easy Street

I just noticed I did not take a picture of this finished. I'll get a new picture.

My aunt Jean took a class and did the blue background piece. She sent it to me and said "I never want to see that again"  I put the geese flying around and the daisy border on it quilted and bound it then

 politely sent it back to her. She loves it and has it hanging on her wall.

This is a quilt that I made and gave to my son and daughterinlaw Machine embroidery on cotton with wool felt I used a thin batting with a minkee like backing.  Quilted it on the longarm. This is at my daughters house and I also made the quilt behind them.

leaders & enders

This years leader and enders project. I finished sewing up all I had cut and was sure I had enough for a quilt. Time to cut some more. one fourth a quilt will just not do.

String flying geese

I've been trying to use up my scraps for several years trouble is I keep adding to the pile as I go also. However this project used up a good deal of the strings. I'm down to half of a grocery sack now but I have almost a full sack of crumbs. Here is what I got done today.

Caught up for now

I am caught up on Vickie's Bird quilt and on Bonnies Mystery quilt. Now to get busy on Vickie's Crazy quilt. I got hung up on the printing in the computer on fabric so I'm going to go around that one.

Mystery part 4 done

Bonnie is leading us on this adventure.

Clue 3 & Seal of Eastern Shawnee

Step three completed. This sure is going to be a pretty quilt. Bonnie is something. She never makes a boring quilt.

 

My cousin asked me to stitch out this for his friend I hope she likes it. Betty

did a great job digitizing it for me.

 

 

Finishing up UFO's

I thought I should not do the mystery quilt since I had so many in different steps of progress but I did anyway. I got this weeks steps done and looked around the sewing room was so full of piles here there and everywhere. Each pile was a UFO or unfinished quilt. So I got busy. Orca Bay finished ready to put on the quilt frame. Moms quilt off the frame, it only needed 5 rows quilted, got it trimmed and the binding made and sewn on. I was making a label when my 830 Bernina started acting up. Oh the spoiled thing it was just in the shop. Well I turned the thing off then back on now it is sewing away It looks like I might just get this one done.
