Baptism Quilt And "Bikkies"!

This sweet little quilt from 30's/40's scraps that I had on hand, is ready to go off to MA for a little boy's Baptism………...

MBH, Finished On Friday

Tada!

My Blue Heaven quilt top is done, and I am celebrating cleaning up a couple of small projects before getting back to the longarm and another major project………….

Do You Have This Fabric?

The true color is darker ……...

My Blue Heaven Progresses

Linking with Heather's Needlework Tuesday.

This is a two block design and more than half the blocks are done, hoping to finish them today………….

35th.Ave 2013 BOM

Linking with Needlework Tuesday
And Lynn's BOMs Away

The last two days I have been working on putting all these blocks together and it was quite a big job!
However they all fit just as they were meant to, except for the top and bottom borders. According to the pattern there would be two FG in the center but lacking space I simply added another 2" color block to fill the spot……………………...

"Jacks" Is Done!

Only need to find a backing [ from stash I hope ] and quilt this, I am so pleased to have the top completed and I like it a lot. Everything came from stash…………

Playing With Jacks

Here are half of the Jacks blocks completed to date,

Underground Railroad Mini

I am linking up with Needlework Tuesday

My Underground RR mini top is pieced and I thought my experience was a good opportunity to talk a bit more about some of the challenges of piecing minis.

I wanted to give an idea of just how tiny these pieces are, 1" and 1.25"……….

NASA Star Blocks

Astronaut Karen Nyberg has faced down the challenge of sewing in weightlessness! She has made a quilt block and invited other quilters to make their own blocks to add to a quilt to be shown at the 40th. anniversary of the Houston International Quilt Festival where Karen will make a special appearance.
A group of Phoenix area quilters met yesterday to make blocks to be added to Karen's quilt……..

Five More Tiny Blocks

Making another five of these minis was doable but hoping to get all twelve finished and sashed- not happening! However it did go faster as the day wore on, perhaps I was finally getting the hang of it…..

Five For Friday!

Five little blocks so far……………

Teapot Cozy

Last week Heather over at Books and Quilts featured a very cute teapot cozy I want to make. It reminded me of the one I crocheted 40 years ago, this is it! You can probably tell it's vintage easily by the '70's colors, LOL……………...

2013 NYE Mystery

Here's my last NYE Mystery quilted, and now added to the two quilts that await binding. Another stash quilt, I pieced this one mostly in Boston…………….

Saturday Success

This quilt was much smaller than the last two and makes the third off the longarm for this week. I finished it up late last night but was too tired to finish posting…………...
