Panel Finished and Two others are Done

 I finished the unicorn panel. It looks a little wonky in the photo, but laid flat, it is even all around measuring 35" by 42".


I'm quilting another charity quilt - one which I was given some cat fabric and asked to make a quilt out of it for St. Anne's.  Measures 36" square.


Lastly, is my leader and ender project.  The block was an hourglass.  I made the  4 1/2" blocks using 5 1/2" squares. Made half square triangle blocks out of them.  Cut them on the diagonal, paired them to make two hourglass blocks and sewed them together. I was going to give this to St. Anne's, however I let myself lay down the blocks whichever way that came to mind, and I realized I'd made a monstrance in the center. This is a vessel in which a Holy Eucharist is placed inside of for adoration.  Thus, I named it The Holy Hour with the surrounding blocks representing people praying. I'm going to keep this one for my collection.

On My Design Wall

Unrelenting heat and a family reunion has kept me busy since I last posted. Mainly the heat gets to me since I had near heat stroke in 2002. Now when it get to 95, I start to feel queasy, yuck. Went to WA for a family reunion. It was fun and so good to see my #1 son and his family (WA), and daughter's family (CA)plus #2 son and family(CO) all together.  Fishing for salmon was one day's activity and all three fishermen brought home 50 lbs of fillets. 




That's their other catch behind them. They had to throw back all the native ones (and there were some biggies), also some too small to keep. All in all they had a fun day on the water. And we had a great dinner that night with grilled salmon, rice pilaf, and fresh green beans.

On my design wall (which I started before I went on my trip) is a new baby quilt from a unicorn panel.

Going to be cute! 

What are you up to?  Would love to hear from you and visit your blog. Blessings!


On Display

 On display in my living room is my June quilt. In Honor of Flag Day, June 14th,  I call it, and it is a pattern by Fons and Porter in their Stars and Stripes Sampler book. They made a lap quilt. I chose to do a wall hanging.


A close up of the quilt:

Sorry they weren't better photos.  

Have a nice day.


It's a Finish!

 It's a finish!  That is a finished coverlet.  That's two layers with some quilting and bound. 36" square for a low income first time mother. We're switching to coverlets because the weather will get hot here. Last year we had 113 degree days in August.


And for the back some of that cute camping flannel I had left over.  This is the third quilt to have it as backing.

SAHRR Round 4!

 At last - Round 4 of my SAHRR.  If you don't know what that means it's the acronym for Stay At Home Round Robin. With my steady 15 minutes a day (well some days plus my mobility issues) I've managed to put it together.


I'm off now to consider treatments for round 5.  My inspiration for round 4 came from Barbara Black's Stars in a Time Warp .Was going to follow it with some of my stars but it didn't look right to me.  So I'm considering a different look.



Progrees is Made

Progress is made, at least some.  More blocks were added to the baby quilt I was working on (see previous post). More scraps were used. I...
