Binding Is Next! (WIP)



Time to put this!
 
 
 
On This!



This is coming together nicely! 
 
 
What are you working on?
 
 
 
 
 
Something to think about:
 Why is it called a Caesar's salad? Did he invent it?

Graduation Quilt- Day #1 (Tutor.)

Secondary Logo
Day #1 of Graduations quilts I've made 
over the past few years.


Brooke, my niece attends....



James Madison in Harrisonburg, Virginia



 The "10 Minute Block" quilt goes together very quick.
(tutorial below)



The school colors are purple and gold!


Borders are left over blocks,
cut in half!





This is Brooke!
Brooke in high school


A mixed media wall piece I made of Brookes eyes.
(lean back and squint)





What I learned making Brooke's quilt:
Use any size square as long as they are all the same size.
Perfect for graduation quilts using two colors.
Fast enough to make in a weekend.
At first, if confused with dimensional piece-first pin
(as if stitched)then open to see if it falls right.
Layers Cakes are perfect to use-but I usually cut my own.

On Fridays I post quilts that friends have made

There is a mix of past and present since I am trying to
get better at posting in a timely manner--
it is work in progress.
 




 

Something to think about

If a Fly had no wings would they be called Walk?

Summer Solstice in April

 
 
I am quilting this great pattern by Marelize's quilt called Summer Solstices
 
   
I had big dreams when planning the journey for this beauty above! My overly energetic personality and plans went astray as I came down with the "Super Quilter Syndrome". I know this is a foreign disease to most, but when it hits--IT HITS HARD! In hindsight, I should have seen it coming but I was in denial. As this seeped into all aspects of life I found I was just too weak! My brain kept saying--Oh What's A Little More-I can do it!   
 
So..... as I often do, when this energy zapping disease hits--it is time to get REAL! Time for the Super Powers of Mediation, Pondering, Prayer and Reflecting. Once the head is finally clear it is time to "Eat That Frog" Which is my Go-To prescription for just about everything!
 
 
The quilt is now in its final stages!

 These are the fabric I used.
 
 
FYI

Marelize's is having a giveaway and this pattern is part of it. 

Go check out her site at Stitch By Stitch. 

 
This quilt is my ALYOF-For April 
(A Lovely Year Of Finishes).

To Marelize:
I will be sending you my photos and requested information very soon.
