It is now a TOP!

WOW!! Aviary is now a finished top! I just love it! I took it out and draped it over the porch swing and took the following photos. Hope you enjoy.


Center Is together

I have the center put together, and the inside straight border is on. But, I ran into a problem. It was getting late and I thought I had cut correctly well guess I didn't. I have now seam ripped the pieced boarder twice. So, I am now working on getting it right. Maybe with some luck I will have this sucker done today.
Wish me luck
Penny.

There must be a rubber room out there......

some where with my name on the door. LOL I must really be crazy to make another Lone Star quilt but here I go again. I saw this one on the net and fell in love with it.




I will hand quilt this one over the winter. Just love the colors, my cream is a little brighter and a white on cream. I have the center star already started. So, look for photos mid week maybe I will have the star put together by then.

Have a wonderful weekend.

322 WHAT!

LEAVES!! That's right, they are done. I will work on the stems tomorrow and maybe I'll be ready to applique them on Monday. This is what the leaves will look like when the appliquing is done. Avairy, by Moda and Three Sisters



I have become an applique fool

I have now done 4-5 quilts that require applique. In the past I would have avoided that technique. But, after learning the method that Beth Ferrier uses and teaches, I can say I love applique.
Here are some photos of the quilts I have done.
