Fall Blogger's Quilt Festival!

Amy is hosting another Blogger's Quilt Festival.  This is one of my favorite online shows.  So many beautiful quilts - so many talented quilters.  Mine is so beginner compared to the beauties you will see, however I feel it is important that we participate, so I'm entering the quilt I quilted for my DIL from all her Ralph's T-Shirts.  I used the 20" blocks of the quilt to practice during SewCalGal's  2012 Free Motion Quilting Challenge .  That was a great project - learned so much!

Without further ado -

Measured 80" by 100".  Each block was quilted with a different pattern.

Now I'm off to see all those gorgeous quilts at Amy's.  Button on sidebar and below.

It's a Finish!

My SIL, Arlene, was here for two weeks.  Not a whole lot of quilting was done - too busy visiting and hanging out together.  But we did manage to make a quilt for my niece, her granddaughter, Nadine.  We did the fast (about 6 hours) tube quilt method - from picking fabric to assembling it, to done.  I didn't have a flannel large enough for the backing,  so off we went to Jo-Ann's .  Arlene found a darling kitty fabric to use for it.  Nadine loves kitty, so it was perfect.  We bound it in a nice light purple. Those are two of her favorite colors - pink and purple.


She nine year's old, so this 42 by 56" lap quilt should work for a while. I'm linking to Amanda Jean's Finish it Up Friday. Do go and see all the fun, beautiful, and amazing things there.

Hexie Friday Again!

Where did the week go?  Life is flashing by, but I actually got some hexies made.  Here is my third block for my hexie project:

It's laid out but not stitched yet.  And I have 7 of the next flower prepped - woohoo!  I've only made 178 hexies - feels like a lot - LOL.  I know some of you have made a gazillion more! Won't you share your eye candy.  Even if it isn't hexies - Billie and I would love to see it.  Linky below.  Closes Halloween, Midnight.
