Join Kelly's MUF group

I have joined the MUF's. It means 'Masterpieces Under Fermentation'. After 50 years of quilting I have lots of MUF's. I used to call them PIGS which means projects in grocery sacks.. My goal is to get some of the blocks I have into quilt tops in 2011. I also will be doing a few new projects.

Look what I rec'd


Rec'd a box yesterday. It came from Kelly @ Cotton Charm Quilts in St. Joseph, MO and had a pretty card signed- Mrs. Claus. What a beautiful collection of fabric in charm packs and layer cakes. Thank you very much Mrs. Claus. I have been admiring and playing with the fabric ever since it arrived. Click on the picture to enlarge.

inside of purse


This is the inside of the purse and it is reversed with the polka dots on the outside on the second purse.

Last minute gifts


Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas- we certainly did and the weather co-operated. Although the pictures aren't very good I will show a purse I made for a gift. I actually made 2 but gave one away. I used pre-quilted fabric so one was the brown floral and the other polka-dots.

Merry Christmas

Hope you all are having a great Christmas. Thanks to all who follow my blog. It really is a great way to make new quilting friends and get ideas and hints. I've learned 'lots'

Small Wall-Hanging


Just showing you a wall hanging I made. Think I should have given my snowman a hat. Have you purchased any thread lately?????? I stopped at our local fabric warehouse today and it cost me $2.81 with tax. Guess I'll be using my old thread and doing scrappy quilts. They tell me there is a shortage of cotton. Maybe they should not have shipped everything out of the country

Quilt is finished


Finally finished. This is the quilt I had to take off the frame and mark again. Really glad this one is done.
