Projects....

This is a huge bag I made to carry quilts in.... or to take stuff to retreats.... the pattern was for a wall-hanging and was free from This-n-That Fabrics..





Some table runners for Christmas gifts......

 

 

A reverse applique pattern, which was given to my sister as a birthday gift..

Finishing up some UFO's.....

This has been a great month for me to finish up some of my UFO's (not everything is on my list - LOL).... I finished my Poppies Block of the Month that was part of our Guild program, another quilt that was part of a Saturday Sew Day with the guild ( I had to work that day but managed to get the top done), finished up two table runners, pillowcases for Boston Rescue, a quilt top PLUS customer quilting...

The picture top, right is the "Non Mystery" quilt that we did as part of a guild sew Saturday.  I had some Andover Civil War Fat Quarters that I used in this top. 

The pillowcases at left turned out quite well.  I think I will make a few more.  Below are the table runners that I made.  The sunflowers turned out quite yellow for some reason.... they aren't really that yellow.

The Last Day of the Month...

wow, I can't believe where January went... before you know it, it will be Spring. We received some new fabrics at the shop where I work, and there was a striking floral that I really wanted a piece of. I am not a floral person, but I loved this one... and when I put it with a red batik and green - I knew I had a winning combination. I have been wanting a Valentine's type table runner for awhile, but didn't want to use the cutsey fabric I had - I thought these fabrics would be great... so I whipped this up last night... I am really pleased with it.... I may have to put it on display for a day or two... but eventually it will be on my coffee table.
