Mini Wholecloth Cross Quilt

My daughter requested that I make a miniature "Cross" quilt for her.  After thinking about different crosses and techniques I could use (applique, patchwork, combo, etc) and thinking about different cross designs (Celtic, stained glass look, etc) I decided on a white on white wholecloth.  I combined some different quilting designs and came up with this one.   I've got a long way to go but it's taking shape.  The blue lines hide my quilting stitches so I took pics from the back and front.  I will stuff the cross, the channel design around the cross, and the feathers.  It will finish 10" X 12".   Of course the blue lines will be removed with water!

This is Miss Priss,  my quilting buddy. Sometimes she is more of a hindrance than a help but she is good company.

PPQ Meeting

We had a great time at quilting last night. Blocks were cut, blocks were sewn, quilts pinned together, tops finished, potholders made, g-tube protectors made and lots of show and tell.

Thanks Mary and Wilma for coming and sharing your projects with us. Now you just need to start bringing projects to work on while you are with us. ;)

Anyone in the area is welcome to join us each Tuesday night from 6:00 - 8:00.

It is Tuesday. And you know what that means!!!! Quilting tonight!

All of those interested we will meet at 6:00 - 8:00 tonight at First Baptist Church in Hatfield. Come join us for fun and fellowship and lots of cutting up and sewing. Bring your machine, hand project or just yourself and join us.

I am ready to sew something. I am so far behind in my projects. My sewing room/office is a mess from taxes. I have to get that all cleaned up so I can sew at home again. Maybe that will be my project tonight as I watch along with Bonnie Hunter on QuiltCam.

Have a wonderful and blessed day.

Busy Weekend

Friday began with my DH mowing the yard, cutting up and hauling downed limbs from the snow storm back in December all before I got home. My father-in-law had our chainsaw..same chainsaw he was using when he rolled himself up in the tree three weeks ago and ended up in ICU for two weeks he is in hospital rehab now--needless to say we have removed all his toys..lol.

Saturday DH finished he yard and it is beautifully manicured. It was then time for us to cut a tree down at the church it was beautiful tulip tree but it was growing into the foundation of he church and had to go. When we finished cutting the tree up and hauling all he limbs in preparation for a possible end of school bonfire for youth. Back home for lunch and more work I raked leaves in and around the dog pen and house, this has not been done at all since last spring. I also dug up dirt and laid brick to extend the porch at the doggie door. In hopes of having less dirt and mud from coming inside. I'm hoping it works.

After all that we went to Spinelli's 4th Anniversary Crawfish Boil. This is an Italian restaurant but they serve everything. They have the best steaks and Chicken Parm....
