Finished quilt is 55x55

Churn Again

Measuring 98x98 this original design quilt was a blast to create and to make.

The center Churn Dash blocks measure just 3 inches finished and were not paper pieced. From there I radiated out in multiples of three, 6, 9, and 12 inches. To put an extra twist on the whole quilt I changed the settings. Going from on point to straight set, and repeating the setting OH THE MATH for this quilt was crazy!! It has also been entered in 3 quilt shows.

Finished yesterday

This is a baby quilt for a friend who has had horses most of her life. Her mom and dad own the barn where I board my horse.

Going to up grade my long arm

Santa Came Early for ME!~!

My custom made saddle was delivered today.  I am thrilled!  The saddle fits Bear like a glove and feels like riding in a Cadillac.  Larry, the saddle maker, went out of his way to get all matching hardware for the bridle, breast plate and saddle.  Who knew that stainless steal would be so pretty. The quality of the leather is amazing.  It is still so strange to me, I was able to pick ever aspect of this saddle.  It is a little Australian, a little English, and a bit more Western.   Worth every nickel, dime and quarters. 

 

My Center is Done

Yep, the center is done I will do the hand embroidery while I watch TV tonight.  I still have the leaves to make but when they are done I will have all the components to add the borders. 

Nine Patch Blocks

The 4 nine patch blocks are now done.  Now onto the sewing down of the butterflies. 

 

Step 4 finished

Butterflies and flowers are all turned and ready for applique.
