My how time flies especially when you are being very productive! The cold has made me stay home and get some quilting done. Backings use up some serious yardage so while I am on a kick to get UFO's finished, the numbers will look good.
First up:


A Young woman whom I have know since she was 7 months old just finished a 13 year stint in the Navy. I am grateful for her service and decided she needed a quilt to celebrate that accomplishment. I used the #10 Mystery from the Quilts of Valor page and pieced the back with some "Navy" themed scraps. Quilted with loops and stars.

#2


This is from Pat Sloan's Globetrotter for 2014 Mystery. A vintage back was found at Salvation Army and I just love it! I even fussy cut a few blocks. Quilting is a meander.

#3
A baby quilt using color crayons and a coloring book page for the center. Stitch in the Ditch used for quilting. She just turned one and I hope she drags it around and wears it out! I will make her another one then!

#4


I am a Tester for Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks and the last few issues I have made the blocks in all the same colorway in order to turn them into a quilt. These are all from Issue #11. This was quilted using a wave panto.

#5

This is called "Take a Hike" for someone very special. If she reads the blog before she gets it (I am mailing it Tuesday), then the surprise isn't quite the same but she will know it is done and on the way. Quilted with a loopy leaf in variegated thread.

Allietare has taken a back seat to these and am hoping February is just as productive.

  2. You have been busy. I especially like the first quilt, the red & white checkerboard is great.

    Did you get my email with requested info awhile back?

    1. SO hoping you would reply, wrote your address down, took it to the sewing room and promptly misplaced it. Could you send it again? I have felt so bad and have added to the pile!!!!
