A little fun on the long arm

I made a back for this top this morning before breakfast (pancakes and eggs).  Then after breakfast, quilted it with a gentle swirl.  The back is fun using odd blocks from the orphan bag which by the way need to be sewn up.  How did it get so full?

Enjoy the pictures of Maestro inspecting the quilt.  She thinks it's comfy!🐸

Another One Quilted

I started quilting this top yesterday and finished up around noon.  I used a digital pattern that I think was perfect.  Quilted with gold color connecting threads and MANY pieces of scrap batting.  Win win in my book.  The colors are much brighter that the pictures portray.  This quilt will be another for Chemo patients.

Lots of sewing

There has been lots of sewing here. More than normal.

These are the last of the kite blocks that I am using up. Love the layout.

I have started making the sugar bowl blocks that Bonnie Hunter recently provided a tutorial.  Very cute.

I am still trying to reduce the 2 1/2 inch strip bin. These are new blocks that are fun and easy. I hate to admit it but the level of strips never seams to go down.

Scrappy trips with additional sashing. I added the outside border. The blocks also use 2 1/2 inch strips.

It is ready for quilting along with a bazillion other tops.

Scrappy Trips

I used some of my scrappy trips blocks this morning and this top is the result.








This quilt is a Christmas present. Have you been making your Christmas presents or are you a last minute sewer?

I still have 27 blocks left so I don't have to make many more blocks for another top. I love having blocks made.

Lots of Progress

It's been a busy day. Yesterday I loaded my large scrappy trips so I could quilt it today. The setting is 6 x8. I get so excited when it comes off the floor.





The backing - paisley fabric is really brown. It was cloudy when I snapped photos this afternoon.


My count down to Christmas mini from Temecula Quilt company.


Yes I know mine is different. I'll be quilting it tomorrow and maybe enjoy it for this Christmas.


We had a nice thanksgiving with friends Thursday so today I have cooked a turkey breast. It just wouldn't be thanksgiving without turkey sandwiches YUM!

And I've already started Celtic Solstice. Have you started Bonnie's new mystery?
