Wheww! Off work today...and catching up! Above is a little needle case I made...machine quilted fabric that I quilted on my Bernina, then wool applique, then added little scissor pocket and pin cushion.
The inside...
The piece of quilted fabric that I made was too long, so the cut off piece became a book mark. That is an 1/8 inch binding..
I sandwiched this little quilt and quilted the borders in straight lines, to that I could bind it and quilt the triangles by hand when I have a spare moment. Just trying to make some progress, any progress will do, LOL!
And thanks to friends, I came up with enough pastels strings to finish the middles of the String X blocks. The pattern is a free one, and is on Quiltville, under the free patterns section. Thank you, Bonnie...I must have made twenty or more Bonnie quilts...how about you???
**************************Nurse's Notes**************************
Praying especially for one older fella patient...undergoing his fourth lung surgery for cancer...hopefully this is the last one and the cure!!!
Praying for all my co-workers...we are a mixed bag of nuts, and many of us have been at our hospital for many, many years...one for over 40 years!! We come from the USA, Canada, Mexico, Latin American, Scotland, Ireland, England, Germany, China, Vietnam, Nigeria, Pakistan, Kenya...and on, and on, and on!! And India...beautiful girls from India...Lots of other places too. I think each nurse/aide/secretary/tech lends something special and unique to her (or his) care of our patients!!
Praying for peace...just want peace on Earth and good will toward all men!! Don't like the news lately!!

What a lovely little needle case. I am glad you had the day off ... I think you were due. Nurses work way too hard for the little recognition and thanks they get. Thank you all nurses out there.
And thank you Julie for sharing.
Your needle case is a dear and I love the little lavender quilt-to-go, too! I only have made half a dozen of Bonnie's quilts but I love them all, LOL!
Beautiful work. Coming to the area soon to see my Daddy. What quilt shops to you suggest?
What a cute needlecase! I love BH's patterns, I'm on the 4th Bloomin' Pineapples, this time in green/creams. Yeah! to all the nurses, and I agree, news is the pits lately.
Wonderful projects as always! Beautiful little purple mini quilt!
I haven't made twenty Bonnie quilts yet, but I am working on it. I am in the middle of making the quilt at the top of your blog. I just love it. I sew one hour each morning before seven o'clock. Only time there are no interruptions--and I live with just my grown son. But four dogs and a cat. And don't forget the telephone, email, and facebook. Too long a comment, but want you to know that I enjoy your blog: the quilts and the nurse news, too.
I am in the process of my my first Bonnie quilt, I think I have been working on it for a year now! The scrappy trip around the world
Cute, cute needlecase!
Love the little HST quilt with PURPLE border and binding!! : )
I have 6 Bonnie quilts at various stages of finished (or not). She is the reason I began blogging. Bought one of her books online, saw her blog reference--and the rest is history!
Looks like you had a wonderful day off!
You have been busy.....
love the needle case
What fun projects, Julie!!
I share your prayer - when will mankind realize that to survive and thrive we must be civil to each other!
Love the Needle Case. I will keep you and your patients and do-workers in my prayers. Thanks for visiting my blog!!
