My Pinwheel and Posies BOM is done




I just finished my Pinwheel and Posies BOM by Beth Ferrier I am so excited that it is done!!!
This was a lot of fun. This project helped me get over my fear of applique. Thanks to Beth, I would recommend doing any of her BOM's .

Windmill's is DONE


After being put away in a shoe box for the past 11 years this poor UFO (un-finished object) is now a quilt top. :)
One more quilt that I can add to the "To Be Quilted" pile. That pile is getting taller and taller.
I will dig again into the chest and pull out yet another UFO and work on getting it done also.

My Pinwheel sampler


This great on line friend of mine has twisted my arm to do this Pinwheel sampler with her. LOL

The blocks are 12.5 inches unfinished. The photo is of my fabric choices.

The large floral print will be my border the print on the right will be my sashing fabric. The red print on the left will be the corner stones. The light, med, and dark prints will be my pinwheel blocks.

If you would like to join us here is the link where you too can find the pattern http://www.fatcatpatterns.com/pinwheel_sampler.htm

Check back often for updates and photos of my blocks.

Yet another UFO



I pulled out another UFO. The current project is called, "Dutch Windmills" it is an Anne Dease pattern and published by Quilt in a Day. LOL ya right, this poor "Quilt in a Day" is 11 years old. How do I know that it's 11 years old? LOL I found the receipt for the fabric in the box, April, 3rd 1997.
I started this quilt and found out that, "I HATE Applique" But, now that I have found a new LIKE, not love yet, for applique I have pulled it out of the ufo chest. The quilt is all cut out, enough to make a queen size quilt, and a few of the blocks are even started. I just have to finish it, so my goal is to have this one pieced together by the end of the week. LOL

Heart of Roses



Well, here is the center of my "Heart of Roses" quilt. I started this project years ago and put it away when I got frustred with the applique. Now that I have found this applique technique by Beth Ferrier I have found a new like of applique. Not in love with it yet, but it is more enjoyable.

So, I pulled this UFO out of the chest and today I got my center finished. I am so excited!!
