Decisions

Good Day to you all I had to make a decision on which quilt to give to my Mom's hand quilting group and I decided on this one. 

The middle block was a sew a long with Border Creek Station I don't see it listed but there are others you can do. I had already made a quilt with this block it was a bigger version but didn't want to make it again so created my own design with books and mags to get some elements from them 

It was fun to venture out of the comfort zone of just following a pattern and making up your own. 

I love applique and especially with piecing it really blends well together. 

This is the basket quilt that I had returned to me from my Mom's group so you can see why I would like them to hand quilt another one look how wonderful their stitches are. 

This was a sew a long during covid with Piecing the past Quilts

It looks wonderful on the bed, I have the binding cut just have to put it together and sew it on

This was a block swap I had done on Carol Doak's Yahoo group many years ago. I was going to submit this to moms group but when I put it on the bed I noticed I didn't put the last border on. I feel better now it is complete. 

Carol is starting up another group on Facebook you might be interested in she has a new book she is promoting but also posting free blocks as she did in her Yahoo group! Carol's patterns are exceptional for paper piecing you will love it once you try her method and use her patterns 

Well I hope you have time for stitching, I really haven't I finally started in the garden this week.
