Completed Quilt Top

Just finished putting the rows together. I can't wait to quilt it with some beautiful variegated thread. That will have to wait for awhile though. There is another project to do right after the show.


The quilt top will hang in our booth at the Rocky Mountain Sew Expo this weekend. The show is July 12 - 14 at the Denver Merchandise Mart. We are in Booth 217 - 219 at the show. 

I can totally see this as a great baby or toddler quilt too. It goes together easily. I did the whole top in a weekend and didn't spend all day every day on it. These are 6" blocks so my version measures roughly 30" x 42" without quilting and binding. That is an ideal size for a baby quilt.

I have cut out the pieces for my next project. It is the From Marti Michell Tessellating Windmills. I got the pieces cut and stacked very easily. Now they are ready to sew.

One tool cuts 8 different size blocks. I'm doing 6" finished blocks.

I haven't had a lot of time to quilt or stitch. My youngest daughter got married on June 30th. The wedding is over. They are on their honeymoon and I have a few days before we leave for a show in Denver. So I've had some time to finish up a couple projects. These are the two I just completed.

Nativity Pageant Stocking

Robin Kingsley of Bird Brain Designs did the stitching on this. I just finished it up. There are five compatible ornaments to go with it.

This is one of two pillowcases in the "Bee Humble Bee Kind" pattern.

Now it's on to the next project, From Marti Michell's Tessellating Windmill. This is Marti's sample.  I'm making it in hand dyes and black. I think it is going to be stunning when it's done. Stay tuned for progress pictures.
