Finishing up



I have been finishing a few projects. Due to the "turbulence" induced back injury, sitting for any length of time is painful. So I sew for 15 minutes then press or cut. Standing and walking is much better. So here are a few of the things I have finished. I finally finished Norma and Leslie's Butterfly quilt. I actually have 5 quilts to go to the machine quilter. I think I need to build another quilt rack. The red and white quilt is titled "Reclaimed". I used fabric I had on hand. The red was used as a back on another quilt as well as in some blocks on a scrap quilt. I think I have 1/2 yard left. All of the muslin was in my stash too.

Just finished Marley Jane by Remember When or
as I know them, Norma and Leslie. It's a little different from the pattern but I love it. I also used a piece of fabric for the border that I had and the piece for the border in the kit could be used for the back. I don't have a baby to give it to now but might put it away for the first "Great" grand daughter. Thanks Norma and Leslie for the fun pattern.

Fall Revisited. It just wasn't finished!

Giddie up


I just finished a quilt for my sweet grand daughter, Hannah. She loves horses and Texas. I backed it with fabric that looks like Texas wild flowers. Maybe she will retire her baby quilt which has been repaired too many time. Love you Hannah!

It's Harvest time at my house. No I don't have a garden...it's that time of the year to bring out all the beautiful fall colors. This is on my kitchen counter. I try to decorate it for the seasons but sometimes I run dry on events.
Today it is raining and it is a blue day! I haven't been able to focus or concentrate! What is up with that?
