Gobble gobble

I used the easy tutorial on The Cottage Home and whipped up this turkey shirt for baby Jesslyn tonight. The stitches on my bernina are giving me fits but I got it done. I think the Bernina will have to go to the service center. Visit The Cottage Home blog for instructions.

I was a winner

I won a giveaway last month from Tamera Quilts, a subscription to McCall's Quilting. The first one came today and I love several of the quilts. McCall's has lots of visual instructions and I like that. This was a neat idea for a giveaway. Thanks Tamera!Tamera Quilts

Help!

okay the black border is out!

I am so tired of worrying with this quilt! My daughter bought the fabrics over 2 years ago. I bought the black batik and planned on using it to sash 16" blocks of the batiks and white....thought it would break all those squares up. Now I am worried that it is too busy. What do you think of this layout with a wide border of the black batik. I want this finished and at the quilters by the weekend. I orginally made this with big split nine patch and she didn't like it so now we have all these squares. ugh

Day of Sharing

 The quilt our guild is raffling.

 One of Jane's beautiful quilts.

 This one with the red and orange was my favorite.

 An example of Jane's foundation piecing.

 I think someone gave her this beautiful Peace Lily quilt.

Neuse Quilters Guild

My quilt guild attended the day of sharing in Morehead NC on Saturday. It was alot of fun. I really liked the speaker Jane Hall and her beautiful quilts. I think I need her Foundation Piecing book for Christmas.

first birthday

Jesslyn's birthday quilt

a little progress

the jelly roll quilt did not go together easily for me....this is usually when I fold everything up and try to forget about it......but I have taken a pledge to finish things so I will keep trudging along until this is done! I need to add the black sashing on the sides and then I wanted a narrow green border and a wide black and white print border .... I am past the point of caring if it's square (it's not) or ends up a weird size .... one day maybe I will make something perfect ...but I doubt it.....in the mean time I will try to improve with each project
