Two Finishes

Two quilts I finished in fall of 2014 "Trick or Treat" In time for time for Halloween!

And Scrappy Trips is done!

Basket #197!!

 

 

October 30, 2013

 

Here is basket #197! - finished it tonight. It's the last basket block for my "Trick or Treat" quilt. A little while back I switched to blanket stitch with matching cotton thread; got tired of the invisible thread.)

Will make the "moon" tomorrow to complete the 221 blocks needed for my quilt. (There are some pieced blocks, and cat blocks which are also done.) My goal was to finish for Halloween (which is tomorrow- Yay!,  my favorite holiday!) Quilt won't be completed, but the blocks will be ready to put onto design wall .

Trick or Treat

After a very pleasant and mild summer, we've been slammed with high heat and humidity this week, so inside I went to my sewing room. I'm working on my baskets! After trying several methods of appliqué, I've settled on fused with invisible thread zig zag stitch.

25 done, 178 to go.

LLQA Meeting

Saturday I went to the LLQA meeting in Heyworth.
I so enjoyed the quilts shown by the featured quilter, at Show and Tell and by the afternoon speakers. There was a finished Farmer's Wife, Orca Bay( a mystery by Bonnie Hunter, Spools (designed by Edyta Sitar), and some neat "modern" quilts-among others. Nothing like a day full of wonderful quilts!

 

 

I bought the book "When the Cold Wind Blows" by Barb Adams and Alma Allen from a vendor at the meeting. In it is the pattern Trick or Treat with lots of cute applique baskets in autumn colors. I must make it!! Here is a test block-I am forcing myself to finish some projects already started first.
