SAHRR Center Block

Here is my center block for SAHRR 2026.

I tried this out as a practice block.

I think it looks like a flower.

I used 5 inch squares.

Let's see where this leads.

Happy Sewing!

Quilting and Binding Finish

At the November guild meeting I picked up a charity quilt to finish.

Someone pieced the top and someone made backing and cut batting.

My part was to quilt and bind the quilt.

I used a navy Aurifil thread and used my sewing machine to quilt straight and wavy lines.

Then I used the strips provided to bind the edge.

I used a gray thread on top and the navy in the bobbin.

Here is the finished quilt after washing and drying.

I love the crinkly texture.

The back looks good, too.

If I can get a label, this quilt will be ready to give to someone.

Lots of people helped make this charity quilt.

I think I like this step best.

Next, finish quilting my Frank Lloyd Wright quilt.

Happy Sewing!

 

First Flimsy Finish of 2026

The baking and sewing for Christmas was finished.

I needed a quick project.

UTQG has been asked to make mini quilts for first time home-owners.

The quilts will be part of a celebration in April.

We were asked to include inspirational words in the quilt.

I found this house pattern in the book Quilty Fun.

Trying out some fabric for the sky.

The green and flower prints represent the fence, grass and flowers of the yard.

I made trees from a pattern in the book All in a Row.

I found a strip of fabric with the words "I think I can" repeated in blue.

The clouds have the words Faith, Hope, Friendship, and Love.

The center yellow diamond represents the sun.

After I quilt it I will finish it with a hanging sleeve and facings.

The mini is 24 inches square and all the fabric is from my stash.
