Here she is, my youngest daughter, quilting a quilt in a frame for the first time. She has tied quilts and stitched quilts in her lap but this is the first in a frame.
She makes everything so fun.

I want to make Christmas quilts for all six of my kids. Three of them already have one so I need to make 3 more. I purchased Vera Mosquera's pattern called "Noel". And then promptly got out the book above to make the "Ravens" quilt by Blackbird Designs.
I guess it's because it's almost fall - not almost Christmas. It doesn't make any sense but I need to go with the project I have enthusiasm for.
I bought a number of pieces from the Wild Orchid line by Blackbird Designs when this pattern first came out. It's a really unusual color scheme and takes some getting used to.
I prepped Block 6 for applique. I'm still trying to decide if I like it or need to change it. The wing on the bird is not basted down but it is cut out of the fabric below. It's current fabric with the Edgar Allen Poe's poem "The Raven" written on it.
Have a wonderful late summer day. The concord grapes are starting to turn purple so I know autumn will soon be here.

I finally finished my "Baraboo" quilt. It is named after a city in central Wisconsin.
The Baraboo Chamber of Commerce states; "Baraboo is a charming small town in Wisconsin known for its colorful circus history, Devil's Lake State Park and a historic downtown square."
It has the Circus World Museum and was the wintering spot for Ringling Bros. (I think). Correct me if I'm wrong.
Anyway, it seemed like a good name because of the bright intense colors in this quilt.
I also finished this quilt that I have wrapped around my settee. Wouldn't it be fun to have it upholstered in this quilt? |
I had it machine quilted earlier this year but never got the binding sewn on till now.
It is from Temecula Quilt Co. and is called Beyond Baskets. It has wonderful reproduction fabrics in it.I haven't posted much because I don't really have much to show or much to comment on. But. here goes. I sure haven't done much...
