States Quilt

A "States" quilt that was in my mother's cedar chest. I assume she made it, but can't say for sure.

Triangle Runner in the Works

Working on a table runner for a customer - it's pieced, pressed, layered, pinned, and now ready to quilt.

Slump

I'm in an awful slump with anything quilting. I have an idea or two rolling around in my head, but can't get anything going. Just let it all set there, and keep trying, I guess. Hopefully, will have some quilty things to share again soon.

Fair Result

This quilt has been several years in the making, but since I did technically finish it since the previous fair, I was able to enter it in the local fair a few weeks ago.

Back Burner

Quilting has really been on the "back burner" for a long time, as I've been involved so deep in yarn stuff, and getting ready for the fair. I already have a quilt for the fair, so quilting right now is a low priority. Nonetheless, at some point, I did get that table runner in the hoop, and have started quilting it.

Runner

After being inspired by something I saw somewhere - Pinterest? - I cut out some pieces the other night to make a small table runner. Today I got them arranged, and sewn together. It's been a stormy day, and as of now (9:30 p.m.), we're not out of the woods yet, with a bad storm to our west headed right at us. Hopefully it will JUST RAIN. Please, Lord, no tornadoes or hail.

Anyway, this is ready for the next steps: Cut out backing and batting, quilt, bind, and done. Be nice for summer, Flag Day, Fourth of July, etc. It's just a smaller one, but may be fun to set something on.

Feed Sack Find

One of my favorite things is Depression-era feed sack material. I just love all the colors and patterns that are unique to this time. At the thrift store the other day, I found this bag of blocks and pieces for $3.50. It's crammed full. I haven't opened it yet. I want to have time to savor it when I do. Here's the view on one side of the bag, a bunch of colorful hexagons.



The other side - I see a Dresden Plate block, among other things.



Love these colors and patterns!
