Not final...


These are Grandmother's Flower Garden blocks.  They could be sewn together like this.  But I am leaning towards a different way.  There always comes a point where the a final decision must be made.   And I am the most indecisive person you would ever want to meet.  I can always see so many visions it is hard to choose just one.  BTW, you can click on the photo to get a bigger view.

Stitched by hand


 I used to sew a lot by hand...and I still like to.  I just don't do it as much.  the above was a cushion cover.

Quilt as you go...


This started out just something to sew without thinking...totally did not think I would like it.    But I did like it. It was finished in 2006.  I named it River of Light.  it was a quilt as you go string block.  the only consistent thing was the yellows, the yellow sashing...and the black strip next to the yellow.  None of it was really measured, so it really surprised me that the black strips came so close to matching up in most cases.

Waiting...


 This is going to be a small quilt to hang on the wall.  IF I can ever decide how I want to quilt it.  I cannot even decide if I want to quilt it by machine or by hand.  I should do it by hand which would give me hand sewing to do at night.  The color of the border is not true though it is close.  It has a more fuchsia tone to it but it is still really dark in real life.  Meanwhile, it is waiting for me to make a decision.

Quilt....


 This is a quilt I made a few years ago...one of our daughters has it.  It has a flannel back and is so snuggly.

Quilt from 2012


 This is from several years ago...I was in the process of free motion quilting this quilt in the above photo...


The above is the front side of the finished quilt.  It looks darker than it was in real life.  And below is the back.

A quilt from the past...


Just for a change, thought I would show another quilt I did.  One of my daughters claimed it.  It was one of those things that just evolved.  I wish I had better pics but I don't.

Log Cabin Quilt....


Thought I would show one of my quilts...this is one I made for Roger.  This pattern is called Log Cabin and the way the blocks are arranged is called Barn Raising.

Can we say colorful?

I was looking for something to post, and ran across this quilt top I made in 2007.  It awaits quilting.  Another made from stash/scraps.

A quilt with red for Ruby Tuesday

This is the one and only quilt my older daughter made...when she was still in college. She made the blocks, and I had her do them in a quilt as you go method. After she got them made, I set them together and did the binding for her. If I remember correctly it is about 60 inches square.

And being that there is red in it, I thought I would use it for Ruby Tuesday...to join click the badge at the bottom of this post
