Vacation time is over !!

 

 

Today I can say

"thirty years in waiting"  is finished

I had made a queen size quilt with these fabrics and I missed it so that I had started another but put it away for a rainy day.    So happy that I found the box many years later and was able to get it finished at last!!

A nine patch or simple irish chain, so off I went with my box, and this is what it turned into.... I am so pleased, and it is big enought to use on the dining room table. I have a few squares left, maybe enought to make a place setting or something.

The quilting design is from My Creative Stitches 

Monday Patch

Vacation time is over and we are back to our art!!

Two of the gals have finished their giant wedding ring, one is ready to be quiltied and another is alread to go on the table.  Quilting in lines, it turned out really nice.

Another double wedding ring but traditional 

still lots of pieces to sew, but it is going to be beautiful !

Someone is starting her birds, ravens maybe!!

During vacation time I had my granddaughter here and we were able to  

finish her little quilt.  She is 7 years old and did all the piecing herself over Christmas vacation,  

She chose a cute candy heart panto with words, HUGS, KISSES, and LOVE.  

It's already on her bed at home!!

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY

A little love for a special day 

Geese again, there may be more!  This one is Marie Claude's

This one is an oldie but a goodie.... a small quilt that we made in 2001 

for the mayor of Palavas.  Do you remember girls?  

An orphin block quilt, it will be great for a little table topper... 

Better done than in a box waiting... 

 

Febuary already !

 Febuary is wedding month for us... It has already been 47 years and we are still together,  It seems like yesterday that we were fighting the elements in Vermont on our wedding day... Life is GOOD!

Something new 

Something old 

and

Something finished !!

Lets start with something old,  Well my Dalhia quilt has been sent out

to a friend (Jeffery) in California to be quilted.  He does beautiful quilting and is 

such an wonderful awesome artist, I am so thankful for our friendship and all of the knowledge that 

he shares with all.  

Now, Something new 

My granddaughter is also sewing and quilting with me.  

How sweet is this,  it is wonderful to share things together...

Something Finished  

This is what we are doing in the quilting group, 

We are missing someone, but hopefully she will be back soon,  

We have been working on geese,  

this is the placemats that one of the ladies finished,  

more to come but little by little....

I had a head start on our next project which is 

A giant double wedding ring by Victoria Findlay Wolfe.

I asked a friend to bring me the templates from the states, and VOILA, she did. 

I doubt if they could have been mailed here to France.   

At last I have started the project!!

Of course, I have a friend who is supposed to help... but!  he would rather sleep!!

I should take better pictures,  the colors are not very nice and I 

so wanted to get out of my pink box, but no... It's pink !

It is just a table runner, but I will make another one with nine blocks to put on my round dining table.  

I love it's bigness!!  

Before Christmas we started a birdie project!

One of the girls managed to do a small wall hanging and I quilted it

for her.  It was her birthday yesterday so I will wrap it

up and give it back to her all finished,  Hopefully she will love the 

quilting and I did embroider a tag for her to put on the back of her small quilt. 

 Used my embroidery machine and it turned out super.

This little quilt is done, it is for another friend.  

I have had a hard time getting back to quilting, but slowly I am

getting my mojo back and slowly getting to know my APQS machine again.  

A wonderful new year of quilting in the future.  

Have a great day...
