Victory Quilt (Signal Lights)


Finished another one of the Victory Quilt Blocks (Stars & Stripes). This one is a little bit harder but still not to bad. None of these blocks take to long to make if I follow the video.

Kay's Embroideried Scrap Quilt


Kay's Embroideried Scrap Quilt is finished. Quilted it yesterday and put binding on today. Now hand sewing binding on her flannel quilt. Will post it shortly.

#100 - Stars and Hearts


Just finished the binding on Kay's Stars & Hearts flannel quilt. This was number 100 quilt that I have quilted on my Pinnacle Frame with the Janome 1600P machine. I had the Flannel one quilted on Monday but just now finishing the hand sewn binding. I have been sewing the binding on the machine but I cut the binding 2 1/4" and thought I messed up and it wouldn't be wide enough once it was folded but it would have been alright. Looks like Kay gets a special deal on this one since it was my fault. It looks much better by hand and I have enjoyed sitting and sewing.

Christmas Wall Hanging


Gretta's Christmas Wall Hanging is finally finished. Just finished hand binding and adding a sleeve to it. I have had this since November. The backing was about 2 inches to small and she had to get another backing, also my machine was in the shop. I just love the look of a binding done by hand.

Another Teacher's Pet


Finished another Teacher's Pet for Martha. She made this one for her brother for a wedding gift. This was a large one. It measured 78" x 93". I quilted it from top to bottom whereas I usually like to put them on the frame sideways to keep from having to roll as many times and also to keep the bulk in the throat from being so big. I always like to attach the backing on the frame with the selvage ends. I feel I can get them on the frame straighter.
