On a roll...

Number 2 is now bound and being displayed on the bed

Notice that the black fur ball is not here. I love the prairie points on this one. 

 These are quilts that are made more than 5 years ago Mom made the blocks through stores that had a block of month program. Mom used to sign up for 2 of the same and would put Dad's name down, Dad would carry one of the blocks in and brag about his sharp corners. 

Mom would get the finishing instructions we would peruse my collection and use fabrics that we thought suited the quilts. We would then spend a weekend speed sewing and putting the quilts together we would get 2 quilt tops completed in a weekend with great team work! 

Counting down with one more to go but also the 5th installation of the Hexagon mystery is out by Jemimas Creative quilting is out and I am still finishing 4 so back to work 

Hope you are able to get some stitching done! 

time is limited

Well I have been purging unwanted home items and rearranging our world in the process I am spending time on things that are easy to reach and mindless. I had some quilts quilted well over 5 years ago that I needed to needle turn the back because the borders are with prairie points. 

 I hope you can see the quilting I had the longarmer quilt it from edge to edge lengthwise so it looks like a trail of feathers love the effect it gives on the bed. 

You can see the fabric on the back so that if I wanted I could make this a nice 2 sided quilt Meara is playing Vana White and showing you the prairie points on the back side after turning over. 

Hopefully I will get back to my other hand work but now the gardening is calling to me. I haven't touched it yet! and the weeds will soon be bigger than the plants struggling to get by them! 

Hope you get a few stitches in!

a day in kitty land

It's been raining and what better way to enjoy by watching it fall the girls love when I put the chair in front of the door there is a bird feeder there so they were fully entertained

I had one of the beds that was on the floor and put it up in the window and one of them found it very cozy she is hunkered right in

The other one stayed close by and snuggled up on the dresser

I was showing some mini's I made this one was a sew a long I think by Humble quilts a while ago 

As usual hand quilted but also love the hottie fabric on the back!

This was the snippets left from my Pie in the Sky quilt and thought I would just put it together as a doll quilt as well 

A better view of the backing and all the quilting it said it needed, I tried to argue with it saying it can be too much but the quilt won! 

Sunny days will be coming...I hope the grass is way long now! freckled with yellow spots (dandilions)
