Almost a Full Moon

I have got my top done for my Autumn Moons quilt and am now working on the borders. I so badly want to start on another quilt that I have finally gotten the background fabric for, but this top is so close to being done and I promised myself that I would finish it first. The background fabric was chosen by my son at our LQS last week and the fabric to make the quilt was purchased by my son for me for Mother's Day three years ago. (Thank goodness for blog posts.) I have the flying geese done for the borders, and just need to put together the rest of the borders.

Binding - Slow Stitching Sunday

My daughter made a gorgeous quilt and I told her I would put the binding on for her. I am so amazed at her creativity. As I am putting on the binding I am infusing it with all the love I have for her. This will get finished today and she will be able to use it tonight.

Flying Geese - Friday Night Sew In

I got most of my flying geese done last night for my Autumn Moon quilt. I have the top together now, and just need to put on the borders. I would love to be a flying geese right now; to find a cooler place to be. I also worked on the binding for the quilt my daughter made. I find that if it feels to hot to be outside, quilting inside is a wonderful thing to do!

Happy Canada Day!

Happy Canada Day to all my fellow Canadians! We have a beautiful country and I am proud to call it home!

Autumn Moons

I have my blocks all finished now for my Autumn Moons quilt. I am still thinking of moving a block around, or maybe making an extra one.  My blocks are a bit bigger than the pattern, so I made the sashing a bit wider around the Maple Leaves. I am drawn to these colours, much as I am the rainbow colours. I saw the Quilt of Belonging on the weekend and it was amazing. I had seen photos of it before, but they definitely did not do it justice. It is a work of art and a testament to the amazing creativity of quilters.

Autumn leaves appreciation

 My autumn leaves are almost done for my Autumn Moons quilt.I need to put a frame around the last one. This is another scrap appreciation quilt.

It has been great putting a quilt together that I don't need to agonize over picking out fabric. I keep finding treasures in my closet that work with this quilt. I can't wait to get it set out on my floor. My goal with these quilts is to appreciate everything I do have.

Scrap Appreciation

As the years of quilting accumulate I must say that I appreciate the scrap quilt more and more. Years of quilting also means years of accumulating fabrics. It is so nice to see a quilt you want to make and be able to start it right away because you already have all of the fabrics. This will become an autumn quilt and I am so excited to have started it. It is one that I have been wanting to make for a long time. The one block is actually gold and purple and I love the idea of having purple in the quilt. A nice, easy and stress free quilt is what I need right now.
