April Quilts

Uncommon Threads Quilt Guild members are participating in Sewcialites 3 Sew-along.

I cut out the setting blocks and started making blocks.

I used some stash fabric I put aside to make something now forgotten.

My cousin's daughter is expecting a baby soon and I thought these blocks were perfect for a baby quilt.

The Sewing House offered a deal on long-arm quilting.

I chose a pattern close to the hand quilted Baptist fan.

The backing is cotton flannel. I washed and dried the flannel before it was quilted.

Below is my first mini house quilt for Habitat.

There are words of affirmation in the clouds.

I hand quilted around the sun with yellow pearl cotton.

Below is my second mini house quilt top in progress.

Below is the finished flimsy.

I raw edge appliqued the cloud, sun, and sidewalk.

I used alphabet beads to decorate the windows with Faith, Hope, Love, Family, and Friends.

Flowers beads were sewn to the sidewalk edges.

A button makes a door knob for the door.

I finished the quilt with a hanging sleeve, facings, and a corner label.

I love the old cars on the backing fabric.

Next up - David wants a renaissance costume for his birthday.

So glad I kept this pattern after making a costume for Noah.

This pattern is out of print and selling for $60 on Etsy!

Happy Sewing, friends.
