Whats on my Machine Monday

This is a customer quilt. Line dancing in the squares and feathers on the white. This woman does a beautiful job of piecing. Her points are all perfect. I'll show more when I am done.

Black, White and Red all over

with a little green and blue also. This is one just done for a customer.Feathers on the borders. Those I really like to do.

From the back side you can see what I did in the squares. A little squiggly.

and one bigger thing - My snowman wall hanging.? I think it's too big for a tablerunner.

Little Things

I've been working on little things lately, like these booties and socks.I'm also adding to my zoo.

My card reader isn't working, so I have to go a roundabout way to put pictures on. A little more work but maybe I'll get the hang of it. I'm also getting lots of jobs and spending quite a bit of time in the store. Next I'll be getting ready for Thanksgiving - but I have lots of help there.

This is my Dear Jane square complete. As you can see, it's not very good. I might put this quilt on the back shelf for awhile.This is a customer quilt. She likes the edible fabrics. I like them also. I've collectied some but haven't quite figured out how to use them besides hot pads. She did a nice job. It'll make a nice lawn quilt.

Dear Jane

I decided to try one square of a Dear Jane and see how it goes. I've always admired women who work on them. The pieces are tiny. Here they are all cut out and marked on the back. I decided to hand piece them. They seem too small for a sewing machine. So this is my first time at hand piecing. I've seen people do it, and read about it some, so here goes.

A little later. Things aren't quite as nice as I'd like them to be. Were Jane's perfect? I will get this one done, but it'll take some energy for me to start a second one. Now I'm really admiring those who do this. Sometimes we have to try something to really appreciate all the effort that goes into it. This will hopefully be a 4" square when I'm done.

Customer quilt

Here's a quilt I just took off the frame. The front is very busy and flowery. She used nice fabrics.The back is a rich green flannel. The back is what shows off the quilting. She did want a lot of quilting.

She also had a high loft polyester batting, so I did as much quilting as I could. I did the squares with an overall leaf and ribbon. A leaf vine for the sashing. That helped to bring in some puckering she had.

Feathers on the border. Thanks to Sally Terry for her class.
