finished quilt

finished my class quilt....had a sq left over so i made a matching pillow

lot of work, but i loved it  learned not to make bigger than a lap quilt unless i "quilt as you go"

xeena seems to love quilts !

little chickies

 3 in sq envies.....chickie and happy easter on top, inside a peppermint patty.  made for the girls at a school where i volunteer along with other ladies from the service league....hope they like the cute little chicks

made the chicks with a scalloped circle for the body, parts of a scalloped circle for the wings, triangle for beak and 1/2 in circles for eyes....and small flower for their feet.

tumbler quilt april 2011

my first finished quilt...lap sized.  used the small tumbler pattern...DH made the tumbler "ruler" for me...........it was a fun project, and quite happy looking !!

the quilt measures 37x43

this is the backing for the quilt...i brought it over to the front and used it as the binding.  will be a gift for a special friend....

finished mini runner

first finished piece !!  woo hoo.  squares are the four patch posey, black strip border and a piano keys border caps it off.  i backed it with the cinnamon and tiny white dots, pulled the backing over to form a binding. the binding is pinned now as i have yet to learn the handstitching technique for the binding.....soon i hope, maybe this week !!

i am also making a card to represent each square or technique, well sort of....so i get to play with paper and with fabric.  this mini runner is on a chest in the front hall.....adds a pop of color to the chest DH made years ago.
