Completed in December 2014

I had three quilts that I finished in September through November, but just did not get the binding on.  I finished the binding on "Aoi Has Two Sisters" quilt.  Refer to what was on my design wall in September.  I also completed my "Sunset Sail"; got it back from Bev Hoek, my long-arm quilter, in September.  Also, I completed piecing the "Christmas Box" quilt in November and Phyllis Oneal long-arm quilted it the first week in December. I did a cheaty binding on it, so it was finished by December 9. "Sunset Sail" was finished on December 28, and "Aoi Has Two Sisters", I finished binding it on December 31.  Good-by 2014.  It was a busy year.  Now, I am going to prepare a cup of tea, find my list of UFO's and some gluten free shortbread cookies, and sit down and mark some things off my list and add two more, I think.  Plus, Caryl V. from Melba forced some reverse drunkard's log cabin thing on me, so I must add that to my list! Oh my!  Well, following are some lovely photos of those last three quilts from 2014.  I am so happy that the Sunset Sail and Aoi I started and completed in the same year.  That is pretty impressive for me. I am now thinking about a nap, but tea, list, and GF shortbread cookies . . . I almost forgot!

What's on the design wall in July?

I got my Sunset Sail quilt top completed and it is hanging on my design wall. I want to keep it wrinkle free until I can take it to my long arm quilter. Yes, I am not going to quilt it myself.  I have a scrappy one that is on the runway for getting quilted by me, and a few baby quilts.  I will post a nice photo of this Sunset Sail once, I have it finished.  Right now, Merlinda is sleeping peacefully in it's glow.

Sunset Sail coming along


these are blocks on my design wall
I am a slow sewer, even today, to say the least.  But I love it so much, I just keep doing it! I took the Sunset Sail class last Thursday and Friday evenings at Room to Learn in Kuna.  I am liking how this is going.  Of course, none of us finished by the end of Friday evening, so we are meeting again this Friday to do some serious finishing up and a baked potato bar.  Quilting and a potato bar! How awesome is that?  Sunset Sail pattern is by Margaret E. Stone for Snow Day Designs.
