Clean, Organize, Purge

I decided to rework my sewing rooms.  I have made many quilts and it was becoming a mess.  It started with removing drywall to expose an underused shelf.  

About 3 days into this project, I still have a lot of work but my donation fabrics are together and so much more!

Happy Halloween

A new quilting friend loves Halloween. She joined my 1st Friday quilt group a few times and together, we made this recliner size quilt.  

I did some custom quilting on it so the houses pop with clam shell shingles. 

I really like how it turned out. Zoom in on the houses for detail. 

More donations finished

Each year collections happen during the Christmas season.  I my little community, quilters donate throws and quilts to be used with new pillows and cases.  My church collect these items and I have been busy quilting tops made by my friends. 

Two more done! 

Baby Quilts Abound

It seems that everyone I know needs a baby quilt!  Relatives, friends and even for my church baptisms!  

I love to make baby quilts because they are quick and easy, unless you hit a creative block.  Lucky for me, I have a number of baby quilt books that I can draw inspiration from.  

Most recently, I created this charmer!  The book is called "Charming Baby Quilts" and as the title might tell you, it is made with a stack of 5" squares, typically referred to as a charm pack. 

Forward Progress

The borders are on the newest Halloween creation!  The photo does not show the true colors which are much nicer but this year, we'll have new quilts for the holiday seasons.
