Lots of quilting!!!

 

 

 

 

Finished one baby quilt...........

This is my great-nephew Elijah

His quilt is finished and will be on its way to Tennessee today!

The quilt is hand pieced using the tumbler block paper pieces, his name and birth date are embroidered in the red border and it is hand quilted.

 

 

 



Flower Garden Hexie........

I have my granddaughters flower garden basted to batting and backing--ready to start quilting!

Great-nephew has arrived.............

My great-nephew was born yesterday (still waiting for my granddaughter).  I have his quilt top complete and ready to be basted to the batting and backing.  I thought about embroidering his name and birth date on the red border, but also thought of just embroidering a block to put on the back of the quilt.

I still have one more row of flowers to sew on my granddaughters hexi-flower quilt, but it's getting there!

Summer has finally come to northern Idaho

We went from below normal, to above normal temperatures practically over night.  I'm just grateful for some sunshine--finally! My cat -known as Mud- is enjoying an afternoon nap out of the heat.

I have been working a bit on one of the baby quilts

I'm doing paper-pieced tumbler blocks for one side of my great-nephews quilt.  I was going to put the red along the two long edges, but after seeing it laid out I think I will mingle it in with the other colors.

*********************

I have a couple of new quilting books.  Well this first one is actually old, but new to me. 

I think these blocks will be great for using up scraps.

 I can't wait to start doing the embroidery in this book. (One of these days, I hope my photos will be better!)
