So Much Fun!!

I have been making GFG blocks.  I never thought I would like English paper piecing but I LOVE it!  It is so relaxing.  And this is the quilt I have started:

What to name it?????  Granny's Irish Jig?  Grandmother's Irish Chain?  I wasn't sure about the grey background fabric.  I ordered it from Green Fairy Quilts.  It is a Moda solid.  It looked like a softer grey on the computer but it has a touch of brown to it.  I was really disappointed when I got it, but it has grown on me and I like it now.
I have this on the longarm now.  It is my take on Edyta Sitar's Tree of Life Quilt.  I had to try Deb Tucker's migrating geese for the border.

Well, you can't see the trees but they are there plus a Oak ring block in the triangles.  Will get better pictures when it is finished.
Have a GREAT LABOR DAY!!!

Deb's Posies

This quilt has taken me much too long -- with weather and life, in general getting in the way.  But I really like how it turned out.  Hope Deb does, too!

Our guild had a batik exchange and this is how Deb used her batiks.  Now she is giving it away to a childhood friend!  Lucky lady receiving this!

St. Jude's Catholic Church's Raffle Quilt

I have finished quilting St. Jude's raffle quilt.  Hope they make lots of money!!

Came up short on binding so waiting for Margie to send me another 20".  And then to quilt the two pillow shams.
I do have another finish but no pictures yet.  I finished my wool applique quilt that I got from Barbara.  My niece is doing the hand stitching of the binding down for me so will take pictures of it when I get it back.  I really like how it turned out but, oh so glad that it is finished!!!

Two more quilts

Here are two of my niece, Paula's, quilts:
Her dresden-fan quilt:

And her quarter log cabin quilt:

Have a great day!

Gibson County Barn Quilt & Paula's Ribbon Quilt

Two more finishes:
Deb's Gibson County BOM that we did in the Tennessee Volunteer Quilt Guild last year:

The Gibson County art association designed quilt blocks to be put on various barns and buildings in Gibson County, TN.  Unfortunately, they did not use standard blocks!!   But all is good in the finished product.

Paula's ribbon quilt:

I needed this.  Fun and quick to quilt.  Love the colors and the quilt.

Periwinkle finished!

Periwinkle (some call it hummingbird) is finished!  This was so much fun to piece with a ruler from Missouri Star Quilt Company (www.missouriquiltco.com) and 5" squares and their triangle papers.  The pillows use a 2-1/2" square and their small ruler and small triangle papers.  Check them out. 

Sorry the pillow picture is blurry, but it shows the true color of yellow. 
Now I am working of Debbie's BOM:

Today is a longarm day!!  With all the rain we have been having, I haven't been able to quilt -- too many power surges.  This was taken the first day but I'm really almost half finished with it.

Oh, how I love the sunshine!!!!

BOM Monday, etc.

I am working on Edyta Sitar's applique quilt.  I'm up-to-date.  Here are the first 5 months:

No, I didn't get the laser cut appliques.  We had a batik exchange at guild and I am using those fabrics.  But it is machine appliqued.
And I have been quilting on my periwinkle quilt f-o-r-e-v-e-r!!!  One more row of filler around the sunflowers so the end is in sight!!  Mostly sunflowers but an occasional butterfly and dragonfly.

The second picture in more true to the color of yellow.  And here are pillow shams to go with it:

So I have been working -- just seems like I'm not accomplishing much other than gardening and washing windows!!
