Finished Projects

Here are the most recent projects I have finished. I have another wall quilt that is almost finished. Just need to do the handwork. Then I can get started on the first of two baby quilts for new grandbabies.

This is a quilt I quilted for Michelle Lyon.


Table runners I've been making.





A wall quilt I made. Love this one!!!

Moving Right Along

Got the wall quilt quilted and the binding and hanging sleeve on. Just need to take the time to stich the binding down. I will post a picture when it's finished. Pieced the table runner and got it quilted. The binding on it will have to wait until I can get to Urie, Wy to get fabric for binding. One of these days I'll remember to buy all I need for a project in one trip. Started cutting pieces for a new wall quilt last night. It feels so good to get projects finished!

For some reason last night I couldn't sleep. I went to bed around 10:45 fully expecting to fall right to sleep. An hour and 10 minutes later I gave up and got out of bed in search of a remedy for the insomnia. I mixed up an essential oils blend, rubbed it on my body where the book told me to and 10 minutes later I was sleeping like a baby. Oh how I love my essential oils. :)

Yay!! The Top is Done!!!

I finished the king size quilt top. It now awaits quilting. That will begin as soon as I get the quilting pattern that I ordered to use on it.

I have the table runner cut out, layed out on my big table and it awaits piecing. Today I hope to get that done. The wall hanging is on the quilting frames ready to be quilted.

I get an email everyday with a new quilting pattern. The other day one came in that I knew I had to make. I ordered and downloaded the pattern yesterday. I printed it and then went to my stash and found all the fabric necessary to make this wall hanging. Since I plan to use it for a gift exchange next month, the baby quilt got pushed aside for a little while longer. After all, I have until January to get said baby quilt finished.

Whittling Away!

Amazing how staying home can facilitate projects being finished. I've been able to stay home all week, except for a funeral and some brief errands. I finished a wall quilt top today. I'm working on putting a king size quilt top together. One that I have been working on for months! I will be so glad to get it done! When it is finished I will start on a baby quilt and table runner. For some reason I think I need to have more than one project going at a time. It takes longer for the boredom to set in that way. Here's to hoping I get the king size quilt top pieced tomorrow. :)
