Hand- quilting


I call this my disaster quilt because I just started quilting and my marking all disappeared. I basted it - took it off the frame and remarked it. Now I am starting over.

Charming girls quilt club.

I joined the Charming Girls Quilt club- hope I can keep up. The summer is such a busy time. Yesterday I made refrigerator pickles from my garden. Next week our Quilt Guild is having our quilt show so am trying to get my quilts labeled and ready to go. We have about 40 members and each person can show 3 large and 3 small quilts.
My goal for the next 2 months will be to finish a jewel box quilt and put an appliqued border on it.

Sewing Room

Cleaning mine and what a chore. I am finding things I'd forgotten about and a few I wanted to forget. Was really surprised how many quilt blocks I have that I exchanged in swaps and also BOM's. In between cleaning I am remarking a quilt. I had it marked and on the frame and went to the basement a few days later and ALL my marks were gone. I basted it - took it off the frame and put it away. Now I am remarking and will put it back up. I am doing a lot of groaning. Don't know why that happened as I used a water soluble marker. My basement is dry and I always have a dehumidifer running. Hope you all are having a good day.

CBQ- No table topper


Hey CBQ- guess I'll have to make one- but do have another wallhanging. Will this do????

Happy 4th

Just wanted to wish you all a good week-end celebrating the 4th. Hope you take time to remember our military who are away from home protecting us and the millions of Americans who have given their lives so we could have all the freedoms we enjoy.
Didn't get much sewing done this week but have been busy. Happy 4th .

Look at what I won!!!!!!


This lovely wall hanging kit was in my mailbox- I won it from Bitten by the Quilting Bug 's blog giveaway. I am anxious to get at it but it will probably have to wait until after our Guild Quilt Show on July 24th and 25th. Our show this year is named Patchwork Picnic. Thank you very much for the kit. I really like it.

Teal & Brown Quilt-finally finished


This is a quilt that I swapped blocks on HGTV. It is large and I thought I would never get finished with the binding. It will be a wedding gift for one of my grandchildren. Sandie (CBQ) quilted it for me.
