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

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!

Well, I’ve made progress on my miniature storm at sea. I have all the blocks sewn. Yea! 30 -1 1/2″ blocks, 20- 2 3/4″ blocks and 49- 2 3/4″ x 1 1/2″. I hope all these small pieces go together now……
Next step is to put them up on the design wall, then start sewing rows…….I hope this comes out ok………….

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

I finished the binding on this quilt today, so I can mark it off my UFO list. Yea!!
That makes 3 UFO’s finished so far this year.
I made this quilt as a BOM at my LQS. I decided to do the red one since I don’t have any red quilts. After making this one I remembered why I don’t own any red quilts………….I really can’t stand the color red!!
I planned on doing some pretty custom quilting on it, but I didn’t want to waste any more time on something that I don’t like, So it got a quick panto design. I am sooo glad it’s done!
It always feels good to finish a quilt. 🙂
Even though I named this one Fugly! LOL!!

Shame on me. I’m falling behind on keeping up here. I can only show what’s on Viqtoria. (Millie has Sharon’s mystery lock in quilt for this year, so no peeking on it.)
Here’s what I took off earlier. It’s for a 13 year old.
It has like a minky on the back. Soft!!
That’s what I’m working on. What about you? Anything fun?
Have a good day!

My friend Barb was one of my students last week. I stopped by her house today so she could show me what she did after class.
When she got home after class, she had 2 small wall hangings that were ready to be quilted, so she decided to quilt feathers on them.
This one has a continuous feather going through the background, crossing the quilt diagonally.
On this one she freehanded the feathered wreath, filling the square, and then running a continuous feather across the quilt through the triangle blocks.
I think she did a great job!!
Now back to work for me.
Have a great day!

Here’s what I did today. If you’ve read some of my previous posts, you know that I absolutely LOVE quilting feathers.
So today I quilted feathers! 🙂
You may not think it’s all that cool, but I do…… I wasn’t sure how it was going to come out when I started quilting it. I think it took about an hour or so to quilt the whole thing. I did McTavishing behind the feathered hearts. Once again, I didn’t know how it would come out. I knew I didn’t want to rip any of the stitches out once I did them. I freehanded all of it. So I got what I got. As for the size of it…………….
Here it is……….
That’s it for now! Have a great day!

I can’t believe it’s already Wednesday. Time goes fast!! Anyway, here’s what I’m working on today.
Viqtoria is working away on this one.
I like using this circular design on quilts with lots of squares.
Meanwhile, over on Millie, I have a cute quilt with lots of appliqué.
Quilts like this always take me foreevvveeerrr, because I debate on what to do with each section. Ugh!
Ok, that’s it, back to work here…….
Have a good one!
Theresa
Here’s what I have on the design wall. I worked yesterday getting the rest of the blocks pieced together. I’m putting a pieced sashing between the blocks, which I haven’t cut out yet. Hopefully I can get the pieces cut and sewn this week. I don’t care much for this so far……………….
.
I’m hoping I’ll like it better after I get the sashing in there.
