Love Quilts Abound

 I have been chipping away at the pile of love tops waiting on me.  One by one I am slowly getting them done. My friend S came and picked up ten to bind. Yay!!!































That’s all for now.  I’m headed downstairs to load a quilt.  🐸

Wow Time Is Flying By

 And how has it been a month since I posted.  No clue.

I have been sewing like crazy. A few of us are making quilts 40 X 60 inches for the flood victims of Haywood County NC. They were flooded out from hurricane Fred. Our plan to provide enough to give out at Christmas time.  A lot of fabric has been used of which I am so glad. I need to see more progress so I will keep going.

I recently went on a quilt retreat in Jonesborough TN which was fabulous. It was a Sunday through Thursday morning long and boy did we eat. So much food, all good.  And the sewing ….  I did get my leaders and Enders top together. I will insert a better picture next time.  This is in progress. 


 The black and white corner stone patches were a happy accident as I forgot my jar of of 1.5 inch squares. Looking through the fabric I had brought I chose this one and it was perfect.

Some pictures of projects happening around the room:




It was a fun retreat and I signed up for next year.  🐸

More lovelies!

 Time seems to be just flying by this year. I am going with the flow.  Here are some of my creations of late:

This one was a piece that used all my large and small triangles in conjunction with a 3.5 inch square.  I love it and it has already been turned in with about eight others quilts for kids  



Next is a top from Kitty of ALeftHandedQuilter.  This one is so pretty.  I used the orange peel quilting pattern.




CN from my guild made a top for Quilty Hugs.  It quilted up beautifully using the Baptist fan pattern. 



This next one is a top also donated by Nancy F.  She did not know where it came from but I know where it’s going. To Quilty Hugs. 





This next one was just the inner piece in which I added two borders to make it sing.  It will go to comfort a child.  Donated by Nancy F who loved the result. 


Some pretty flowers around my property. 





Come back for more pretties.  I have some QOV’s to quilt up so those will be next on the agenda.  🐸

Stitching

 I haven’t quilted much in the last two months due to medical issues.  I have mostly been cross stitching on the couch between naps.

Here are the love quilts that have been quilted.











I have started my Sentimental Stitches 365 little blocks and have three completed.


And this is the sampler I have been working on. 






I have had my first Covid-19 shot and get the second one in a few weeks.  I will be glad when all the virus crap is over....🐸
