Finishing some things!

 I recently had some time to hand quilt these, and bind them.  Except the rail fence quilt...that was quilted by my friend Kristy!!  It is a gift for a patient.  The quilting made it so pretty that it is hard to give up, LOL!  The table runner was made from orphan blocks gifted to me...and the red work quilt is made from embroidered blocks that are at least ten years old.  Hurrah for some finishes!!

 This itty-bitty flower quilt is one of several flower quilts that I have made...I love flowers so, so much, and this is just made up of pieces and parts.  In fact...the whole quilt was made because I had a little piece of stem leftover...and I made the whole rest of the little quilt was fashioned around that stem, so I could use it up!

I have a fun, lovely friend, Audrey, of Quilty folk blog fame.  She recently posted about a friend who posted all her projects, perfect or not.  I immediately thought she must be posting about me...HAHAHAHAHA!! Of course she probably wasn't.....but...this quiltlet is just the best example of non perfection.  It is just about 6 inches wide...but one side is a whole half inch longer than the other!  Bwwahahahaha!  I have no idea how I did that, or how is fits together.

BUT IT IS FINISHED!


onward!!!

Cheddarback!!

Happy Easter to everyone!





This quilt along is started!  This is from Gay, our friend at Sentimental Stitches.  She is offering the patterns freely each month.  I have made a start, as you see!!!!    It is a pretty cool old, old quilt, and the fun thing is that the backing with a solid piece of cheddar fabric!!  Super fun!

The little swastika block will be replaced in my quilt...I think the original name of the block was "fly foot", at least that is what I remember from Momma.




Please see here for the current pattern!  Each month it is free, but then you have to pay five dollars for the prior months...but we are only one month behind!!   LOL!

A very quick chemo quilt in the works

My friend is going to have to start chemo and radiation treatments immediately for her cancer.  She likes reds and blacks, so I was given these blocks and told to "piece them today without fail!"  and send them back immediately, and all the separate pieces sewed by separate friends will all be put together into a whole quilt for her to take to her chemo by next Wednesday.  

DONE!!!

And I mowed the lawn...and that was today!!!

Hugs to all, 

Julie

Just a few blocks

 So....I have figured a system of getting things done!  Whoop!  Every day is assigned a particular quilt along.  Wednesday is the Temecula blocks quilt along...see above.  I am doing these in rainbow colors, and teal is the color for April.

 Monday is for the Meeting House quilt along...caught up on these blocks!!!

Tuesday is for Tiny Tuesday, with Rainbow quilts. (Angel at So Scrappy)  These are the most current blocks...so I am cheering right now...not caught up with all these projects but getting closer.

So there!  System-ness wins!!!  or something like that...hahaha!





************************Just a note************************

I am sorry about the death of Gwen Marston.  I felt like I knew her...what a lovely quilter...she will be very missed.


My very good friend from work has been diagnosed with metastatic cancer...from breast to lung mets.  Very difficult insurance problems are being worked through to get her treatment.  Just makes me so sad and a bit angry, actually.

My friend Lyn in Australia lost her daddy...and that is so sad too.

So I am praying for all and for peace, too!!
