Phill's quilt!

As you can see this quilt is still in the need of binding on the edges.  I am making this for my daughter Phyllis that was started in 2010.  I have done so many other projects after I started this one  that I am a little guilty about finishing it.  When completed I will post another picture so you can how gorgeous it really is. 

Grandmothers fan in four colors!

I have been working on this for quilt most of this year.   What I did do was to make it in twelve sections (quilting and all) so handling it wouldn't be so difficult, but nah! I then assembled the blocks after quilting and it was still huge.  You see I have Fibromyalga along with a bad case of Arthritis.  There were good days and bad that I would still try to work on this project.  Today I can say I got through it.  The fabric I chose was dark red on one end of the selvage edge to light pink on the opposite side so it depended on how you made your cuts that would give you the look of four different patterns from one yard of fabric.  The background fabric is light cream on cream print to bring out the reds and pink  Can't wait to get it on my king side bed.

My sister Marilynn, who finally finished the top of her block of the month quilt she started a couple of years ago.  Beautiful work and now we are waiting for the finish product

Paper Pieced Pineapple Pattern

This little quilt was made by Marie Thomas,  a life-long friend of mine who I have known since we were in the first grade.  She's  been quilting for the last two years and I have been quilting since 1983. Finally I convinced her to come on board and try this craft called quilting.  Showing her some of the different medthods and techniques,  she says that she loves doing paper piecing.  Now that she has learned the process this is the results of her work.  Just beautiful!

SIGNATURES

When finished, ALWAYS sign your work.  This is the back side of runner.  On the front I machine embroidered my name, date and city.  This way no one can remove your signature.

MULTI-COLORED STAR TABLE RUNNER

Table runner made of scraps and color oh my!  A quick project to use up left over fabric laying around.  Pattern found in Fons and Porter, Fall 2009 quilt magazine.

THAT BEAUTIFUL BLUE

This is a little brighter version of previous photo.  The sunshine helped to bring out the colors.  The three quilt blocks shown here were quilt guild demos which after done what do you do with them?  Started out as a table runner idea but after running across a Jinny Bryer boarder print fabric it has ended up being a wall hanging that is shown in a previous post,  The ideas just kept coming once I got started.  Of course you know that!
