Whirlwind Quilt Block

Whirlwind Quilt Block

SewCanShe provided a classic block tutorial.  I made mine from Colette by Chez Moi for Moda.  Fun block.

Whirlwind Block

Block from leftover triangles

I made a pillow with the blocks.

I see it's been a while since I've posted.   I did finish my weekly challenge quilt.  I loved the way it turned out.  I've also been busy doing embroidery with my new machine.  Had a lot of fun doing monograms for my niece's wedding.

I'm working on some pillows for my daughter, Jeanne,  I love the embroidery on these!  Just need to get the pillows sewn together. They are really the same material.  Just cotton and I cross-hatched around the design.  I plan to put red piping around the pillows and put a zipper in.

My sister, Margie, was wanting a tree skirt, and she sent me a picture of one.  Thought I could make it with my 10 degree ruler.  I think it turned out great.  Margie wanted to make her own, so my sister, Diane, asked for this one for her daughter, Courtney.  This is her first Christmas being married.  I had fun doing this. First picture doesn't show the ties I added to it.

I also made a quilt for Alexis for her birthday.  I love the way it turned out.  Used a tutorial from Jenny at Missouri Star Quilt Company.  Of course, had to make a pillow case to go with it and embroider her name on it.

HST Challenge Block Top

I have the top all done - just need to back and quilt.  I really had a great time doing this challenge.  Thanks to Liz Katsuro for hosting the challenge!

HST Blocks

I've gotten a little behind uploading my blocks.  Mom, Mary, Diane and Margie have all joined in doing this weekly block.  We have been having a great time talking and sharing.

HST Challenge Blocks 5, 6 and 7

Here are blocks 5, 6, and 7 in the HST Challenge by Liz Katsuro.  I always look forward to the new layout on Saturdays.  This has been a lot of fun!

Block 5 - Dancing Star

Block 6 - Broken Dishes

Block 7 - Castles in Spain

HST Challenge Block 4 - Tea Party

What a fun block.  I had fun with Mom and Diane doing this block.  Mom had to play catch up and she did four blocks this weekend.

Block 4 - Tea Party

HST Challenge - 2015

I am doing a HST challenge this year with Liz Katsuro of JellyRollFabric.  I am using some 2 1/2 strips left from a Christmas jelly roll. It has been fun!  Here are my first three blocks.  Oh, my sister, Diane, is doing this too.  Her first quilt!  :)

Block 1 - Jack in the Box

Block 2 - Dutchman's Puzzle or Wild Goose Chase

Block 3  Balkan Puzzle

(aka Windblown Star or Windswept Star)

Here are all three together - 

Fabric Boxes

Made these last night from a post by Seaside Stitches - need to get some buttons on them.  They were fun and quick.

UPDATE:  Here are the blue ones all complete with buttons!

Sunflower Quilt

I made this quilt to raffle at a convention I'm attending in Seattle this coming week.  Kansas is hosting the convention next year so I wanted to do something with a Kansas theme and what better than sunflowers!! The pattern is by Black Mountain Quilts - appropriately named Sunflowers.  I did change up the pattern a bit.  I appliqued the petals on by leaving a 1/4" border so when I washed it the petals would fray and give some dimension to the quilt.  Not sure I like it - but that's the way it's going to be.  :)

Here's a close up of a sunflower.

The cross-hatching was a chore having to turn the quilt so much.  Ohhhh - for a long arm!!!
