Quilt Therapy Thursday

What a busy week we had, so today we are ready to put things together. 

Pierina has finished all her trees

and she had squared them up.

All ready to sew them together in strips.

Maria was able to sandwich her star burst

and is now quilting it.

Joyce received a kit for Christmas. 

She had cut out the pieces for the cushion

and we completed the applique.

Now she is ready to stitch it onto the top.

I am making another bag so I was piecing the

front design together.

This is the Quilter's Carry-All

from Thimbleberries.

Christmas Gifts I couldn't post until now

Since Christmas has come and gone I can now post 2 gifts that I made. 


Lynda really likes roosters and she purchased some fabric when we were in England this past fall so I used some of it make her a new bag.  I fussy cut the rooster from the fabric and used a different fabric for the body of the bag.  This bag is a take-off of  "A Quilter's Carry-All".  I made it a little smaller than the pattern called for.

Rooster Bag

I made Maria a bag for Christmas too.  This one is from a pattern that was a mystery bag that the Thunder Bay Quilter's Guild had a few years ago.  I made one for myself and Maria liked it so much that I decided to make it for her for Christmas.

Mystery Bag.

I have been doing some quilting over Christmas week  and will post tomorrow.

Christmas Tree and Bags

I finished one of the Christmas Tree Table Toppers that I had been working on for a while.  It is 27 inches in diameter, just big enough to go on a round kitchen table.

The pattern said that you should mix the

green fabrics up for the trees

but I decided to make each tree

 the same colour.

I think my nickname should be "The Bag Lady".  I have made another one.  This is called a Quilter's Carry-All from Thimbleberries.  I changed the pattern a little and made the bag a little smaller and also inserted the handles in the top of the bag instead of along the front like the picture shows.

This is what it should have looked like,

I just used the idea.
