Tannenbaum

 

 

 

 

I am now on my last row of the Tannenbaum quilt. The applique has gone easier than I thought, especially since the applique pieces were already cut out. After this I will be matching up the lines in the background fabric which I am a bit nervous about. I am dedicated to having this done by Christmas.

Tannenbaum Stars

 

 

I spent my Friday Night Sew-In working on my Tannenbaum quilt creating a row of stars. I am on the second to last row of the tree but then I will need to do the applique. 

 

 

I am really hoping to have this done by Christmas. It has been a while since I have sewn such tiny pieces but I am enjoying the challenge it brings me. 

There is a Silver Lining

 

 

I am so happy that my Silver Lining quilt top is completed. I finished it last week and now it is at the quilter's. It was a huge relief to have this off my shoulders and now I can work on some of my Christmas quilts and other quilts I want to get done.

Cat not included - Friday Night Sew In

 

 

 

 For my Friday night Sew In I finished sewing together all of my sashing strips for my Silver Lining quilt. Next is to put together the corner blocks and then I can sew it all together. My ever helpful cat decided to pose for this photo, and after it was taken destroy the layout. It did get cleaned up faster with her help since it was in a big pile!

Silver Lining

 

 

I have all of my rows sewn together now and I have started sewing the sashing sections together. This is a quilt that I wanted to give up on a few times. I am so happy that I chose to stick it out as I can see the finish line in the near distance.

Silver Lining, Botanica Park

 

For my Friday Night Sew In I finished my last block for my Silver Lining quilt.  

 

 

 

 

I laid out the quilt and I am so happy with it. I need to complete the four corners but I wanted to see the balance in the quilt before I picked out fabric for them. Next step is to complete the sashing for the blocks.

 

 

 

 

 

 I also completed the flying geese for Block 6 of my Botanica Park quilt.  It feels good to have these projects well on their way.

Dresden Plate Quilt

Well, my namesake quilt was finally finished in May. The Dresden Plate blocks is one of the first blocks I learned to make when I started quilting. It has been 10 years in the making. I belonged to a group called Bee Beautiful in 2010 and when it was my month I chose the Dresden Plate and beautiful Art Gallery fabrics by Patricia Bravo. The group was wonderful and I learned so much each month with all of the different blocks, many which I had never tried before. I am so happy that it is completed. It was quilted by Tammy Spencer.

I had this cute backing which reminded me of Dresden Plates and the binding was bought by my daughter last year as a Mother's Day gift. She knew I was working on a few rainbow quilts and decided to have binding to match. She also got me another one, with reds and darker stripes.

I am so grateful to all the women and my daughter who helped make this quilt a reality.
