Fourth of July - and a month since I've blogged, so it's time to say something about me. I've been really stressed lately, so I let go of a few of my current projects and am concentrating on a fewer number.
The circle game is one of those projects that I stopped. Very pretty paper-pieced quilt when it is finished, but I couldn't keep up the class and very frustrating.
Also the online BOM that I was very excited to start. I can pick up the project later though, since I downloaded the instructions. Maybe I can make a runner or something with it?
I have been encouraged to show some of my quilts at our local quilt show. This one is my daughter's wedding quilt. The hand-quilting took longer than I anticipated, and I finished it a bit late - in time for their 15th anniversary! It was made by my mother and me!
This table runner is 73 inches long! I'm looking for a place in my kitchen to hang it. It's called 'Chickens on the Run". I did not enter this one or the wedding quilt to be judged.
I entered these 2 quilts to be judged. This one is named "There's a Monster in my Closet", and each door opens and shows a fussy-cut monster inside! I made two of these for my then young grandsons, but they are teenagers by the time I finished, so I'll save them for my someday great-grandchildren.
These blocks were hand-pieced and hand-appliqued by my mother in the 80s. I sashed and bordered it this year. Pat Lange is long-arm quilting it, since I need something special in the solid blocks and lack the ability to quilt them. Another quilt that I am entering to be judged.
I'm still working on the morning glory quilt and will be for a long, long time - very intricate, very time-taking.
Now will start making baked beans for a friend's fourth of july party.
