Cleaned up my sewing room and closet today...

....LONG overdue!! 

Anyone have selvage edges they would like to send me?  I will pay for the shipping.....just leave a comment below. 

It looks like the wedding is off - sadly - so the black and white quilt top will just sit for a while.  I may post it on ETSY at some point. 

Working on candle mats for Christmas gifts, will be making candles on Monday.

Next project will be something made with selvages.  Looking forward to that!

Finished Flag Block

November quilting class.....

I brought my Dresden Plate quilt for show and tell.  That allowed me to enter my name in a jar for a door prize.....and I won!!!  It is a booklet pattern for WOODLAND STARS. 

Oh...the quilt got some nice compliments too!

This months block is a flag with a border of  'amber waves of grain' fabric.  I am going to turn it into a flying geese border.  Should be fun.

Dresden Plate......here are the pics.......

Freshly washed and dried.  I am so excited to be finished with it!

Quick Posting.....

Just 2 more plates to hand quilt, then its off the the laundry mat (quilt is too big for my machine) and its all done!! Only took me about 11 months?? I never said I was a quick quilter......

Never thought I would see the day......

.....when all the machine quilting was done on my Dresden Plate quilt!  Oh my, does my machine need a good cleaning and rest.
I did a lot of quilting on this one and I love the feel and look of it.  All that is left are 4 plates to hand quilt, then making and attaching the binding.
Will post pics of the finished product very soon.

Finally finished my first block for the class......

It is a 12 inch block,  however our instructor said we would be making some 15 inch ones.  So I used up the scraps and got it (almost) to 15 inches.  Adding anything different, embellishing or changing it up a bit makes you eligible for a door prize at each class.  So heres hoping........

I really like the way it came out!
