In the Works

Trying to get this little table topper done.  I actually pieced it last year (or the year before) and now I'm getting it quilted.  I'm cross-hatching the center - but plan to do some FMQing on the rest - maybe some stars.  It has been fun working on it.

Jeanne's Quilt

My daughter, Jeanne, pieced this quilt quite some time ago (I think it was her first big quilt).  My sister-in-law quilted it on her long arm.  I put the binding on it and will give it to her tomorrow (Mother's Day).  I think she did a fabulous job!!!

Another Chevron Quilt

This was a commissioned quilt - I really like how it turned out. I especially like the backing!  It was fun to make - but I think I'm going to try the half-square triangle method next time.

Misguided

This is my first chevron quilt. Not too difficult.  But, I decided rows of quilting would be really cute - hum - cute, yes, tedious definitely.  Still stitching rows and have now run out of thread. I just love the elephants marching along on the backing.

Doll Quilt Swap

Front of Quilt

On QuiltingBoard . com I joined a swap for July 2013.  You have a theme for the month and the moderator assigns you a swap partner for that month.  The theme for July is Self Portrait/Where You Live.  Since I didn't feel adequate to do a self portrait, I did "Where You Live".  I used sunflower fabric (as the sunflower is the State flower of Kansas).  It was fun doing it and I hope my swap partner liked it.

Weekend Quilting

I kept busy this weekend quilting 3 table runners for our Annual July 4th Family Reunion.  I had fun doing these - simple and using fabric I already had. Can't ask more than that!  :)

Hymn-Scripture Challenge 10

This hymn is another that I remember singing.  It takes me back to my young life and our wonderful church family.  Our church was such an important part of our lives.  I remember telling our friends that we went to church "Sunday morning, Sunday night, Wednesday night, and every night of revival."   :)  I loved our church and close-knit church family.

I used Verna Designs - Peach Faced Lovebirds digital kit (which I noticed I also used on an earlier one).  I really love this kit.
