 I'm going to post early (9 p.m. versus midnight), otherwise if I start sewing again tonight I might forget.

I finished quilting the birdhouse quilt.


This is another quilt top that was donated to our Quilts 4 Kids group. I used one of my favorite pantographs. It has already been donated back to the group.

I quilted another quilt that came from my quilt guild. Sorry, not sorry, no picture. That quilt was ugly! Yes, dark brown, green and tan go together but not if the dark brown is the scariest sheep/shepherd pasture scenes ever made, with a solid green, and the tan was a Christmas print with carousel horses. I quilted it, put binding on it and will return it to the guild next Monday with the hope of never seeing it again.

Not much sewing occurred until last Saturday. It was another sew day. I finally finished the last pouch / purse I was working on. 


I think it turned out cute except that even after double checking it, I still managed to twist the handle.

Angela's Brightly top is done.


Maybe not...I think I'm going to add a small border. What do you think?


While not much sewing has occurred, I have been playing with EQ8

First up, Four Patch Stars. The inspiration for this little quilt was the Moda Blockheads 6 block 21 by Vanessa Geortzen. Jacob's Ladder is one of my favorite blocks.  I made the blocks bigger and plan on using just three fabrics.

Not the most original design but creating it in the software gave me all the dimensions I needed and yardage. These are the two primary fabrics.


The background will be a white tone-on-tone.

The second quilt I designed is Four Patch Stripe (my titles are so very boring). 


Good ole Microsoft Photos elongated the picture. The inspiration for it was a Keepsake Quilt kit / pattern. Their's had a vertical strip going down the length of the quilt that I did not like, plus I resized the blocks. Those are the fabrics I plan on using.

I'm trying really really really hard to finish a bunch of stuff before I start working on these. But I really really really want to make them NOW.

You have been so busy...I love that birdhouse quilt. The top one on the upper right is my favorite! Love the bag you finished. Are you making them for yourself or for gifts? Brightly turned out nice. I have ideas about finishing it and it does include borders.....which you might not want to hear.

I always like Jacob's Ladder type quilts...and the other is interesting, too.
