A gift for pastor

Our minister is moving back to Oklahoma and that certainly is a reason for a quilt! 

Binding Completes the Quilt

How often have I completed a quilt top to let it sit?  

Once quilting, how long before it gets bound? 

Years ago I bought a Pfaff 1471 sewing machine and had it serviced. I knew it was special and even though it was from the 1980's, there is a loyal following of people who adore these machines. 

It makes binding a snap.  Easy peasy! 

Well this week I finally finished my version of a quilt called "Independence".  I had made it before and gifted to my daughter in law, Holly.  

This time, the blocks were damaged by a basement flooding incident.  There is color bleed from red fabric but it was some measure of work and I decided to quilt it and bind it and now I'll wash it to see what will come out.  This quilt is about 65" square.  It is another of my scrappy quilts. This quilt was given to my grandson, gage..

Scraps, scraps, scraps

They grow, they multiple!  But they can be quite unusual as well.  Inspiation from designer Jen Kingwell quilt. 

Aunt Duck Quilt

My Toastmaster friend, Dana, asked me to make a Quilt for a great nephew.  It took me way too long but it finally got mailed.  Apparently, her nephew called her Duck when he was small.  Hence, when I made the new baby quilt, it was from Aunt Duck.  I like to called the quilt, ducky.
