Red White Blue Quilt
Your eyes are not fooling you - this is a wall hanging I made to celebrate the Fourth of July! Isn't it awesome? I had to take pictures indoors because the weather, again, is gray and windy. It measures 17-1/2" x 26" and was made with scraps in blue and red. I even used leftover binding from another project, adding another piece of red binding to it to make it all fit. The quilting is very simple: walking foot with large straight stitches, and free motion quilting on the side triangles. I … [Read more...] about Red White Blue Quilt

Rectangular quilt blocks
Last Saturday night I went to bed at 9:30 pm and woke up promptly at 12:30 am. After staying in bed for 30 minutes trying to go back to sleep, I realized my only option was to get up and go do something without waking up the rest of the household. Toby, the dog, looked up as I walked into the family room as if to say: Not again! Yes, again I can't sleep. The two latest books I received from Martingale for review were standing guard at the coffee table, and I needed no further … [Read more...] about Rectangular quilt blocks
