Freedom's Wings is finished.

I took all the great possible names and tossed them in a box.  And pulled out Freedom's Wings.  Thank you, Bonni - I picked your title from the hat and that's what I'm going to call it.  I think it turned out nice.  All the fabric except for the focus fabric came from my stash - didn't even know I had that many stars - LOL.  The bald eagles were bought at our thrifty corner at our guild meeting.  What do you think?

Done ahead of time.  We're suppose to turn these in at our June meeting.  I have TMPB phobia so I came up with this design rather the mystery assigned to this challenge.  Can you guess what TMPB stands for?  Another fat quarter awaits the correct guesser.

The quilt tops will be divied out to our group of long armers and then returned to us for binding.  Came out 50" by 65" .

Fabulous opportunity at Annie's

You know how much I like eye candy!

 Well Annie is actually giving away this great little quilt in honor of her 400th post.  Go to http://anniesquiltorts.blogspot.com/2011/06/400th-post-giveaway.html  and give a look.  Leaving a comment could win you a beautiful Amish quilt.

Thou shalt not Covet thy Neighbor's Garden...

Well.............., at least I can look at it!  They have done such a wonderful job!
When we look across the street we see:

and here's a closeup of the flower - they're usually at the top of the plant but this one was eye - level. 

and just to the left of the first picture and across from our driveway you can see these:

I LOVE these roses!

The Fourth is Finished!

My fourth charity quilt is finished.  Yeah.  Even showed it to the Sewdality members. I got to practice as I quilted this one.  This follow the design as you quilt it is good practice for making even stitches as one moves over the top, especially as one goes around curves.  I tried to have the least stops possible, too.  I used  a stencil and chalk for the border.  All of the fabric for this one, except the binding was donated to St. Ann's for charity quilts.

Now the back had some scraps from my stash so I got to report those in my stash report this week.  I wasn't that happy with the back - I added three pieces I dug around in my basket of scraps and found that matched the Japanese fabric, but what I didn't like afterwards were the pink strips - felt they should have extended all the way to the edges by adding the dark blue first and then adding the pink.  Oh well, it is a practice piece.
