Sally Post

The block that is on the right is #1. These blocks are from a wonderful site that you can view by clicking on the Title of this bog. This young lady really makes quilting fun with all her wonderful free patterns!! I love her site.

There are about 36 blocks all together and they whip up fast. I am needle turning these and am trying to be a little primitive with it.

Gayle turned me on to this wonderful mustard color fabric and so everything is really geared towards it. I also love the leaf fabric I picked it is different and I will use it throughout all my blocks.

You will see some finished blocks on Gayles site just look at the top on her tabs and you will see albums they are just beautiful and I can also see she has started her own with wonderful color fabs.
This one is block # 2.. I am trying to go in chronilogical order and not to far from the path... I have blocks 3 and 4 in progress...really it is not to hard to do considering each block is so amazing!!

When Gayle first posted this quilt I fell hard for it and had to work it. I had to wait until I had a few of my commissions done. (darn deadlines!!) I am not waiting any longer!! so I started..

To view her quilt go to http://www.sentimentalstitches.net/ you will be like me soon enough to many projects on the go. I pretty well think that I am at my limit though.

Mom and I..

had so much fun when she was done at the beginning of Sept.. She bought this beautiful Hydrangea fabric when we were in http://www.quiltersblock.ca/ to go with the fabric we got a beautiful minty green and this wonderful pink fabric. The pink fabric is a finger painting design all over it.. the texture is wonderful!!
Well we took 2 days and got it all done except for the boarders. I had suggested a raspberry color around the boarder just a sliver and then she is going to put the hydrangea fabric around again... These are mom's colors.. this quilt is really her!! and what makes it most fun is that Mom loves it!! you will see the happy quilter pic below!!
The quilt is picture on its side cause of the design wall.. I need bigger walls. This pattern was from Quiltmaker Nov/Dec 02 (you would not believe what we had to go through to find it!)

I had made a quilt like this with beige colors and mom loved the pattern it is great for those thathave fabrics they don't like to cut up.
Mom happy in my little sewing studio.. I am sure she is going through with drawal!!.
Mom...proud as punch next to her wonderful creation. If you click on the pic you will see the fabrics better. As you can see she was not allowed to even get her jammies off!! Doesn't she look so cute?? I love my mom...

Well I hope you like the little adventure that I have posted... there is alot more to catch up on but I know you all have your own sewing to do and I want to post my Sally Post blocks that I have started... that is on http://www.sentimentalstiches.net/ there is another excellent site.
