Irish star triple chain with and with out the chain.

I put them on point, not having read the directions closely... Than as I was using my friends design wall... I wondered how it would look as a stand a lone star.... For the 2.5 inch squares the setting triangle and corners are 16.5 and 8.5

September

The wedding quilt has gone. I am getting ready to make a pair of pillow covers to match it. I have been working a a few art quilts... started on the Irish star triple chain in blues. The star is a bit of a pig with 26 parts in each 10 inch block.

It is in the 80's right now, warm for Maine.... Will post photos shortly.

Wedding Quilts and Promised quilts

Most of June and July were spent on a trip to visit relatives... and making two quilts.. one for an up coming wedding. The second one is for the significant other of a relative at the wedding.  I feel some days like I am on the viking Slave block making boat lol.

This is the wedding quilt in progress.

350 block project

Through  Prairie Moon Quilts I have been participating in the 350 block project.  This has inspired me to keep better track of the block I make.  It also tens to have me upping my productivity close to the end of each month.

I have been inconsistent in posting.  I have been gardening more.  I have been playing with Rob Appell Man Sewing's  checker cross... and my 2.5 inch scraps using  Miss Star Quilts split rail star.

I just keep pulling the fabric out and sewing..

Lions and Tigers and Bears Oh my!!!

It has been a busy month.  I participated in a free motion work shop that managed to get me over the hump. Than I went to a retreat and free motioned two baby quilts. Than the turn around had me spending two days with my college room mates. .... who are not clothies like me.

The class with Eliz Busch left me with lovely hand made fabrics and a burnign desire to get my small art quilt completed...  tired!!!

baby quilts for sale...

 

If you are interested in either one contact me. They are cribish sized.

March

I completed the two red and white squares , but turned them in before taking a photo. So I guess you will see them when the donation quilt is finished.
I have drifted into a variety of quilts.  I learned how to make the prairie braid, which is foundation pieced. I plan to back up and finish that quilt and put it away.Today is going to be a clean up and put away day.
I have really enjoyed putting away fabric in the new piece of furniture that is especially designed for fabric.
