Eureka Quilt Top

Shirley C. beat us all to the punch and finished her Eureka Quilt Top ON TIME!!! Great job Shirley. Beautiful color choices, wonderful placement of fabrics and of course, lots and lots of patience went into the making of this top. Oh, Shirley is the envy of everyone in the Cambridge Class, including me. We all worked frantically on our quilt tops that day. We will get them done soon, wait and see. Meanwhile, we can admire Shirley's quilt and aspire to greatness. Aaahhhhh....

Great Knitter's Tote

Deb R. made this wonderful Knitter's Tote for us to show off at the shop. It has a zippered pocked, needle pockets, a book pocket. Wow, lots more too. It is made from fun fabric and Deb did a great job!!! Thanks Deb, you are a peach!!!!

And yes, we have the pattern. :)

What Do You Think of My Garden???

It is pieced. My "Bridgecreek Blossoms" garden seemed to have a will of it's own, just like the most well planned and planted garden. I had planned a striped inner border and then another border of the background fabric. This is what it told me to sew and "sew" I did. Quilting it in a floral pattern or in swirls seems to be the best thing. It is very pleasing to me and I hope it reminds you of your garden too.

Ode to the 30's BOM - April Blocks

The Ode to the '30s block for April with all the applique' is finally put together (but not finished) and the other blocks are so pretty they deserve a second look. Enjoy!

How Does Our Garden Grow?

So, okay, everything I think will take me about 2 days usually ends up taking 5. This is progress of the indoor garden "Bridgecreek Blossoms". I have added some setting triangles and sewn the rows together. It is looking very nice. Deb and I decided borders, different of course, from the pattern but the same dimensions. It's gonna be great!!! Now, to find the time!

Star Light, Star Bright

This is one of my favorite quilts of all time. Sorry about the blurry picture, I just couldn't get this one to focus!

It is "Star Light Star Bright" by Sue Weeden of "The Other Sister" designs. I always have this out in spring, it is so cheery. The quilt is 42" x 51" and has a wonderful piano key border with paper pieced corners. So easy to do too. Great design Sue. So cheerful and springy!!!

Blossoms

It's a beautiful day outside today and that means less people in the shop. I know they are busy planting and raking and weeding!!! I decided to "plant" some blossoms of my own today and I started on the pattern "Bridge Creek Blossoms" by Terry Atkinson. I "planted" my blossoms on brown and used jewel tones for the flowers. I am thinking a striped inner border to remind me of a fence and some scattered floral fabric for the outside border. Watch with me as they "bloom"!
