Hunter Star Placemats

I had some leftover fabric from making the Hunter Star Quilt so I decided to make some placemats rather than just putting the fabric in my scrap bin.  I added a blue border which I am not fond of but didn't want to rip it out.

Quilt Therapy

It was a cold and windy day today but we didn't care because we were in Joyce's sunroom enjoying the sunshine and a day of sewing.  The temperature is -22C with windchill of -30C.  Now that is cold.

Pierina has finished her tree quilt.

The colours are so striking.

She found some really cute fabric with houses

on it for her backing.

She decided to use the John Flynn method

to save on fabric.

Joyce's cushion - with the backing sewn on.

She is making the back of the cushion

envelope style but adding tabs with buttons

for decoration.

A cute idea.

Maria is putting the binding on her schnibbles quilt.

All finished.

The fabric is Sunkissed by Sweetwater for Moda Fabrics. 

So Pretty.

I finished my Quilter's Carry-All from Thimbleberries.

Maria has the bag I made her for Christmas.

I am making Maple Leaf Blocks for a kit

that I picked up last March in New York City, called

Shades of Autumn by Benartex.

I had started these in July at retreat

and had forgotten all about it until

Lynda asked had I finished it yet.

I managed to get 4 out of the 16

blocks finished.

Great Therapy today.



Three more Finishes

I have finished my first Monthly mini from Country Junk'tion.  I haven't decided if I am going to make them into a quilt or as minis so I haven't put any batting and backing on it but it is appliqued.

My January Snowman

The new Block also came down for Morning Glory Designs and I finished it today.

Block 2 - Tossed Daisies

I also joined a Block of the Week from Lyn Brown.  It is The Quilter's Alphabet.  Week one is the letter of the Alphabet and week 2 is something starting with that letter.

"A" and "Artful Arcs Of Appliqué"
