I almost forgot to show you this finished baby quilt! I’m quite pleased with how it turned out.
I love this pink for the back.
Here is the panto I used.
It is from Urban Elementz .
Have a great day!

I made several bed size quilts in 2017. I think this first one was my favorite. I made this as a leader/ender scrap project. The top was completed while I was still in Arizona. It has quite a few scraps from dear reader, Ila. I wouldn’t have been able to finish this without her help!
This next one is tied for favorite! This was made during the Gwennie Inspired Medallion QAL . The idea of a collaborative project was started by Lori at Humble Quilts. Five of us were in the group and each suggested a theme for one of the “rounds.” As you can see, I added more rounds than that and mine grew to queen sized!
This one was a grad gift for my nephew.
This was my very last finish for 2017.
Another scrappy rectangles quilt, this time in batiks.
My Cotton and Steel Scrappy Trips quilt, AKA Sea Sick.
Shenandoah Stars was a long time UFO.
And my 1930s Ohio Stars.
I really love making bed size quilts. I’m so thankful for my long arm that allows me to do this!
Have a great day!
This QOV top was made by Val. I love the pattern!
Here’s a look at the back.
I hope send this panto from Urban Elementz . It’s actually a bit too wide for the 18 inch throat of my machine, but since it is done in two rows, I can adjust and make it work.
My two local grandsons spent the night. They are such a joy!
Have a great day!

This beautiful top was made by Kathy. The pattern is called Road to Oklahoma.
Not gonna lie, I struggled with the quilting on this one. For some reason I had real issues with tension. The most frustrating part is that I never did figure out what the culprit was.
Here is the panto I used.
It is from Urban Elementz. After I finished this, I spent a few hours cleaning in the sewing room. I had a lot of dust bunnies to evict! My tables are clear as well and my last QOV for this month is loaded and quilting started.
Today looks like another good day to stay in and sew. I think I will!
Have a great day!

Once a year for the last several years, Barb at Fun with Barb has hosted a block swap. I’m glad I was online when she posted the sign up for this year as it filled in a matter of hours! I’m in the group exchanging 6 inch churn dash blocks in Civil War repro fabrics. Here is my first block.
And this is what my second set will look like.
I have all the rest cut out and ready to go. It didn’t take long at all with my die cutter.
Btw, you can check out all the current deals at Accuquilt here. Have a great day!

I’m still working away on quilting these QOVs. This top was made by Greg. Yes, he’s a member of our Stitching Sisters group too.
This is the panto that I used. It is now available from Urban Elementz .
Have a great day!

Once a year, my local Guild has a Trash to Treasures sale at a meeting to raise funds for the guild. I cleaned out and donated some books and picked up a few things as well. I think this panel will be perfect for one of my grandsons.
Loved the Downton Abbey Fabric!
This is an interesting quilt top made from French General fabrics. I’m not sure if I will quilt it as is or recycle it on some way.
I’ve never tried silk batting and I’m looking forward to trying this out.
They had three tables of ties that were given to the guild. You could take as many as you wanted. Our guild will have a challenge using these ties at our show next year.
Have a great weekend!
I finished the quilt for Oscar. As you can see, the weather hasn’t cooperated for photos, so these will have to do.
I used my 6 inch tumbler die from Accuquilt . I didn’t want to cut the fabric into small pieces and this die was perfectly sized.
I used a pantograph from Urban Elementz called Malachite for the quilting. It reminds me of a topographical map.
I kept trying to pick threads off this blue print, then realized it was trails on the map. Silly me!
I love the backing fabric. I had to piece the back and I got it as close to centered as possible.
I think the center looks like a reflection.
This bench at the park looks very low, in fact, the snow is quite deep!
I’ve been enjoying using this quilt inside, but eventually it will stay in the Jeep.
BTW, if you click here, you can get free shipping on any order over $25 from Accuquilt.
Have a great day!

I just finished quilting my first QOV top for 2018. This was made by Joan, a member of our Stitching Sisters group.
I used this panto. I bought it from Digi-Tech. However, on January 1st, Digi-Tech merged with Urban Elementz. So now this is available through Urban Elementz!
I bought this one because it reminded me of waving flags so it seemed a good match for this top.
Here’s a look at the back.
Probably 95% of my pantos have come from either Digi-Tech or Urban Elementz, so I’m thrilled to be able to find all the best pantos in one place!
Have a great day!

Mr. Wonderful has a new title! I’ve mentioned before that he is better with the embroidery machine than I am. He has proven that once again.
He’s working on Jeep shirts for our grandsons. They all like Nana’s Jeep! Mr. found this graphic online, digitized it, and stitched it up!
I think he did an amazing job!
Have a great day!
