Quilting Done

I took the quilt off the frame and sewed on the additional backing needed.  It didn't take long at all to resume and finish the quilting.  Done and looking good.

A sneak peak of the next top.  It has a lot to do with bags of 3.5 inch squares and bags of 3.5 inch four patches.  I'm so guilty of blocks in bags!!!!  They have to get used up soon before they may move me out.🐸🐸🐸






Sunny Thursday

I quilted this top the other day and the back is short.  How did that happen?  Ugh.  It is still on the long arm waiting for me ...

Some turkey tracks, a Bonnie Hunter pattern.

A wild and crazy top I completed but never posted.

Miss Kitty is Quilted

She is a beauty.  Maestro is the model inspector.  As soon as it was in the floor she was on it trying to cover herself.  I kind of yelled at her to stop.  Her look says "who me"?

Slow Stitching Sunday

I had quite a bit of time to hand stitch while recovering with my feet up.  I accomplished a lot on this project.  Enjoy!  🐸🐸🐸

Linking with Kathy.  For Slow Sunday Stitching.

A Real Cutie

A blogging friend  alefthandedquilter recently sent me three quilts to enhance with free motion quilting.  Well I got one on the long arm this morning and played.  I left the fabric that was sewn on for attaching to the leader in the picture.  This made it very easy for me to attach to my red snappers (a clamping device for loading a quilt top).   🐸🐸🐸

A Bag of Blocks

Yes another bag of blocks pulled out and sewn together.  I don't remember when I made these blocks.  They are cute though.  After sewing rows, I wanted a spot where your eye could rest a little.  I auditioned a few fabrics and favored the confetti on white but I picked that creamy yellow as it had the subtle movement I wanted.  Each row will have a strip of this fabric.  It will also encase the blocks.  It will be finished up as Quilty Hug.

My sewing time is limited as I get tired easily.  Just to do a little bit means the world to me.  Progress is progress.  Other than this sewing I have been hand appliqueing.

Enjoy🐸🐸🐸
