A Beautiful Year Ending

Two-sided quiltin . . . Front and Back!!!

I was pleased to look at a quilt I made last yr-2012.   It started when my lady-friend Merlene Amey gave me a bunch of scrappy hand quilted blocks.....  there were enough of the odd brown-green-plaid LOG CABIN patched to make the inner quilt... I meticulously ran the Log Cabin pattern across and down in kinda of a color sequence!   I had it machine quilted by Bill Crye.

Because it was such a scappy look, all of last year I was determined to use my own scraps... so I chose a country barn border and tan fabric to finish up the quilt.

Flip side.... I now know.... that I get a really good feeling when I can change-out... and flip the blanket for a different look on my bed for a couple of days ! ! !!

Quilt imagination and Beauty.... like poetry

Wednesday embroidery and quiltin'

I visited In stitches and Seams.....

and I think I'm feeling like a Christmas Stocking

I couldn't wait to get back to work to post....Blog!

This is the newest,,, but fabric I bought last year.... my newest baby blanket for a list of abot 7 give-away-baby quilts !!

Now for a bit of baking.... Thanksgiving 2012

back to the machine.... I must be feeling the end of the yars pressure and happy blues...

really motivated to pull out and finish some projects.   I'm pretty organized in my sewing room and closets... and bookshelves.... and bins...

Hand-quilting the blocks.... joining a sixteen block unit together

BELOW..... here is it sewn together.   Only thing about this CATHEDRAL WINDOW  is that everytime I finish a four-or 8-patch.... another machine stitched seam calls for another row of windows!!!!   LUV IT!!!

 Old favorite..... strip piecing

This says it for the Holiday Season
