August Finishes - Little Snowballs




Finally finished this Panel Kit that I bought a couple of years ago.
Plan on giving it to my GGS on his second birthday. 

I love the cute little Sweetwater print for the back.



The Bunkhouse Plain and Fancy quilt is 57 by 66" and I will donate it to Pine Tree  this fall.


Backing a red and tan paisley that I had on hand.


"Flywheel"  44 by 60"
Another donation quilt that I was glad to finish!



I even finished sewing bindings on a couple of Table Runners that have been laying on the shelf for more years than I can even remember.



The Fifty-four Forty quilt (64 by 72") is also ready to be donated for the VA Hospice Unit.


This is my new  - old project!
  I have been making these 4,5 inch blocks on and off for a few years.
I initially started making them intending to use them as a border for a quilt I was making at the time.
I put them aside but made more now and then. I put them away while cleaning up the sewing room.
Found them again!
I started sewing them into 9' blocks, by colors, this week. 
I'll have to see where this goes!

A good quilting week!
Lunch out with friends from Ladybug Quilt Shop Tuesday,
Regular sewing day with friends C and S on Thursday and 
Undercover Bee tomorrow  - always fun!

A Bordering Day with a Visitor


I wanted to make this 60" square top a little bigger so I used most of the cut off HST's from the star blocks  to make the borders for the top and bottom.  Added a 2 inch border to each side.  It's 64 by 72" so  now I can make a backing for it


Several years back, a friend loaned me her Accucut (sp) cutter and I cut out a whole lot of blue and white scraps.   This past winterI sewed the triangle/square pieces together. Then I made a few blocks and figured out they needed a shoo fly block as alternate block.
 

Added borders to this top to to make it 64 by 70"
Made a backing for this today so it is ready to quilt!

It has been very dry here for the past month with only a few light showers.
We finally had some good rains and my flowers along with the weeds are flourishing.



It was so nice that this little guy came over to visit and stop to smell the flowers with GiGi!




Tickled his nose!
