I spent today getting the last of the borders put on my lock in mystery quilt. It’s
now done and ready to be quilted!! Yea!!! Sorry I can’t show more but it IS a “mystery” and this is the whole quilt!! LOL!! Too bad it’s hanging on a hanger….. 🙂

I’ll let you see the whole quilt after the lock in on March 9th. I hope the ladies attending this year are happy with the design.

Now I have to get back to working on my guilds opportunity quilt.

That’s it for now. To see more design walls check out. http://www.patchworktimes.com

What’s on the machine’s 2/13

I’m in the process of loading both machines, so I’ll show you what I’ve finished lately instead. How’s that? LOL.

Here’s Barb’s sampler quilt. It’s quilted with a feather panto pattern. The top has been hanging at Bits and Pieces in Eudora. It’s a BOM they’re doing. It will go back to hang in the shop as soon as Barb gets her binding done, but now it will be finished. 🙂

I think the feather design looks great on it.

Here’s the latest of the Christmas Peace quilts. I finished it yesterday. I did the first one back in October so that Windham fabrics could have it in their booth at Houston. Then I did 2 for Quilters Quarters and now this last one is going to Windham again. I guess this one will be traveling to Spain. The pattern is a block of the month and I believe it starts in May.

I was going through some of my old stuff last night and came across this one. Look at the date! LOL!!

20130211-104141.jpg

I made the January blocks…. All 4 of them! 🙂 I printed off each months pattern but never made any more blocks.

20130211-104504.jpg

I have enough of the fabric to make 8 more blocks, so I think I’ll just make 12 blocks, add a dark sashing and border, then call it done.

20130211-104841.jpg

It won’t be as pretty as the BOM, but after 14 years in a box……..done is better!! LOL!!!

That’s what’s on my wall today. To see more design walls check out http://www.patchworktimes.com

Basket quilt

Ok now, everyone sing!

A tisket a tasket, a green and yellow basket. LOL!!!

I’ve been working on this basket quilt today and that crazy song has been stuck in my head!

Of course after quilting several rows, I changed the words to…..

A tisket a tasket, I’m tired of seeing BASKETS!! LOL!!!!

It’s good to see the end is in sight! 🙂

Another Monday rolls around. I have all the blocks made for the lock in mystery, but I can’t show them. I worked more on the blue jeans quilt yesterday. I had all the small blocks made so I sewed them into larger blocks.

20130204-115537.jpg

I made 16 of them. Then I cut fabric to cover the seams. I ironed some of them into 1/2″ strips.

20130204-115721.jpg

Here’s how the finished block will look.

That’s what I have on my design wall this week. Actually, it’s on the table. LOL! 🙂 to see more design walls check out http://www.patchworktimes.com

I also quilted my blue stars quilt yesterday. Now for the binding…….

Love this fabric!

I found this at my LQS today and just had to have it!!

20130202-132109.jpg

I had to get some of the other fabric to go with it too!

20130202-132227.jpg

I don’t know what I’ll do with it yet, but that doesn’t matter. I’ll figure out something one of these days. 😉 maybe!!

At our quilt show this year, we’re going to have an antique sewing machine display. Here’s my hand crank.

20130202-132617.jpg

I need to figure out how to wind the bobbin so I can demo with it that day. My friend Doris has one too and she doesn’t know how the bobbin works either.

20130202-132825.jpg

Oh I just had a thought! Maybe I could get something made to hang in the display area with my new fabric?!?!?!

Gosh, I better get to work!! Have a good day!!!

I have so much that needs to be done that I never feel like I have the time to stop and blog. Today, I’m taking a break and blogging a bit about what’s going on…..

Millie has another Christmas Peace on her. This is a BOM that will be offered this year.

20130130-140610.jpg

I’m getting ready to load this on Viqtoria. Such a cute quilt!

20130130-140714.jpg

I haven’t worked any more on my guilds opportunity quilt but I have sewn all the blue jeans into blocks. 64 of them.

20130130-141001.jpg</a

Next step is to make strips to cover all the seams.

I’m sewing on my lock in quilt too, which needs to take priority as I have to have it finished by March 9th. Here’s a sneek peek at a bit of what I’ve sewn so far.

20130130-141554.jpg

That’s what’s going on today.

Have a good one!

I somehow managed to get myself involved in working on my guilds opportunity quilt this year. Joelyn does beautiful machine embroidery, so she has all the embroidery done. Sharon used EQ and got the pattern all worked out into the correct sizes. Now it’s time to piece it together. Here’s the center block. It measures like 24″ square.

Patriotic row by row

Top is done! Yea!! I finished piecing the borders last night and got them sewn on today.
I put stars in the 4 corners and I wish I would’ve used a lighter color. They are hard to see, but I’m not changing it now. This is a great way to use up some scraps, it just didn’t use enough of them!! LOL!!

That’s it for now. Have a great day!

These blocks have been on the wall for awhile. With everything else I’ve been doing, it got put on the back burner. It’s time now to get back to it. I’m working on the sashing pieces and here’s how it’s looking.

20120319-091500.jpg

I do like it better with the dark color added into the sashing. The blocks alone were just too blah!!
