Sunroom Quilts

lots of quilts in process: unicorn, hummingbirds, color falls, star quilt, hexies

Tunisia is the name of the pattern.  

Unicorn

patriotic stars made by several park quilters.
The start of a birthday present.  I may get it finished before she really starts pushing 90.

This really belongs to our neighbor but she wanted it to be out where folks could see its beauty.  So it moved to our front porch for a time.

Another patriotic quilt that has great additions to the stars.  Constructed by several park quilters.
A cute small project.  This is a placemat turned into a bag.

Loved this project.  A neighbor was cleaning out some storage and came upon quilt blocks that were already constructed (the 9 patches).  She no longer quilts and brought them to me.  I constructed the quilt and quilted it.  It is now back home for the owners to enjoy.

This wild top is made from the "class quilt" pattern.  Color falls.  Not the traditional black background.

 

These hexies are made with a Missouri Star template.  They would make great coasters but the plan is to connect them with a decorative stitch to make a table topper or a small quilt.  

 

December photos of several projects: bags; red, white, and blue quilt, and more

Playing with the embroidery machine on a placemat from Dollar Tree.  Loved the outcome.

Cute fabrics and it was a fun and fairly fast project.  Owner to add buttons to the pocket flaps.  There are plenty of pockets inside too.

This one was a UFO.  The paperwork on the pattern/kit was dated 2015.

Trip to BOK Tower for the Orchestra.  Great evening.  

Note to self:  if 63 degrees and evening...take heavy jacket!

This little fella was on the tree behind the house.  He was unhappy that I was sitting in the sun and apparently in his space.  But he jumped between the three trees and finally down to the ground.  

This one will go to American Legion in Avon Park.  A quilter in Rainbow will finish it up.

Our local cranes!  

This kit was purchased at JoAnn's this summer and now I have another UFO finished. 

Here's our aloe plant.  Trudy does such great work on keeping it going in the summer.  

We have finally checked what kind of light and water it needs.  Maybe it will continue to thrive now.

Another bag.  Requested by a friend for a friend.

Another embroidery library design on a placemat.  

Just a few of the projects for the last few months.  

 

Another embroidery on placemat.

A Lisa Sutherland pattern. Being sent to the quilter. Will be donated to the American Legion in Avon Park.

Oh it has been so long since I posted! mini mosaics, Braided Twist, Message Board, Bonus Blossom and more

These two mini mosaics are from Cheryl Lynch's patterns/kits.  Such a fun process.  Not much sewing but so very cute.    I'm teaching a class in a couple weeks for the Washington County Piecemakers Guild at Lora's Retreat Center.  Looking forward to all the fun we will have.

Before we returned from Florida there was a run on eating banana splits.  Here is one!

This is on a tea towel.  A gift for a friend.  Pattern is from Patch Abilities-Flamingo P-115.  I altered the legs a bit. 

These are two Doll sleeping bags for T.

Braided Twist runner.  Pattern my Phillips Fiber Arts.  Fun, fast project.  Book and ruler are packaged together and there are lots of variations in the booklet.  

Pattern is Totally Triangular by Linda Johnson for Calico Cat Patterns.

 

A footstool cover to match Mel's quilt.

Half square triangles left over from another project.  

Get well wishes for a friend.

Beautiful color.

Baby throw.

Three giants from Scottsburg in a pow-wow.  But they are supporting archery instead of basketball this day.

Cute fabrics and patterns.  From Lynn's stash.  Hopefully she would approve of the use.  

Update on my quilting projects for the past two months, rag t-shirt quilts, totes, table mat, cactus flower quilt progress, pumpkin table runners,

Small pumpkin table runner.  Loved the fabrics.  

Cut loose press pattern.  One of three layouts in the pattern.

Star blocks for Cactus Star pattern.

Front of a rag t-shirt quilt.

Bright and wild frog quilt for someone who likes frogs and yellow.  

My $10 yard sale find that has cost much, much more in stripping materials and time.  But the finished project is worth it.....I think.  

Tiny bag.  

Second rag t-shirt quilt front.  Love doing these kinds of t-shirt quilts.  Front and back of each shirt is used.  The back of the shirt is on the back of the quilt.  Works well when both have designs on them.  

Found this fabric in the mark down section.  Granddaughter likes mermaids.  Pattern is from Morning Glory.

Worked up pretty quickly.  Although I had to adjust my cutting for directional prints.  

Wo

Beginning to layout the blocks for the Cactus Star quilt top.   Had to order more fabric for the setting triangles and borders.  I am never sure what I want until I see the middle of the quilt.  Thank goodness it was still available.  

Cute strip quilt.

More Catitude fabrics but border is a blank quilting piece.  The pattern is Reflections by MountainPeek Creations.  Great, fast pattern. 

Thread Painting into a pillow

 

Twist and Turn pattern with a Kaffe fabric

Another finished project for this summer.  I purchased the Kaffee fabric from Nancy J's at Paducah.  Then I have constructed, quilted, and bound this summer.  Picture doesn't show the great colors.  The border fabric is a batik from the Quilters Nook in Versailles, IN-found the fabric while we were camping in the area-Versailles State Park.  

Recent projects.

 

This is where we started. A class by Beth Hunter from I Have a Notion.

This is where I went. Now to trim it up and make something.

Then I wanted to revisit chenille.

So I started here with three panels on top of a white base, batting, and batting.

I stitched about half an inch apart across the panel at an angle.

Then I slashed the top three layers.
My thought is now to cut out the squares and make pot holders. Still debating on that a bit.

Happy Sunday!
