Bargello class results

The bargello class is a success, although it will take some time for the students to get theirs done.  Lots of things going on in their lives and it's tough to get the time to quilt.  But, they are making great progress.  I'll be sure to post their quilts when I can.  In the meantime, here is the one that I did.  I wasn't sure how the colors were going to work, you never know with a bargello what the final outcome is going to look like, but I am pleased with how it looks.  Once I get some borders on it, I'll post those pictures too.

Hope you enjoy,
Debbie

Lena's First Quilt is done!

Lena is my neighbor and she decided she wanted to learn how to sew, so her first project she chose is this T-Shirt quilt.  She is 13 and learning very fast and did a GREAT job on her first project.  She has lots more that she wants to do now that she's got the hang of it.  Good job Lena!!!

Scrappy Quilt is finally done!

Here are a few pics of the scrappy quilt I did several months back.  I finally got it quilted and am pretty proud of it.  I did all the quilting myself free-motion on my friend's longarm machine.  Thank you Mona!  I'm pleased with how the flowers came out and the palm trees are a treat!  If you'd like Mona to do some quilting for you, you can get in touch with her at "Quiltsbyme@q.com"

Evan Alexander has arrived!

Our 5th grandchild arrived into this world on Friday morning!  He's got lots of hair and a set of lungs that won't quit.  Evan Alexander weighed 8lb 1oz and measured 21" tall.  Our daughter, her husband and the rest of the family are doing well.  Can't wait to see them all very soon!!!

The proud grandma... that would be me :-)

Civil War Quilt Progress

I am still working on the first Civil War Quilt; all the blocks are done, ready for sashings.  The only problem is I want to use one fabric from a second Civil War Quilt that I had planned, so in order to use that fabric, I had to finish the first quilt first.  That way I know I won't run out of fabric for the quilt it was originally planned for.  So... that being said, here is a picture of the finished quilt top and a picture of all the blocks ready for sashing on the other.  I will definitely post a finished picture when the sashings and borders are done on that one too.

Happy Quilting!

Christmas Trees!

Another great class under our belts!  This was the Paper-Piecing Christmas Trees class.  I believe both ladies may be making table runners once they have completed more blocks.  They turned out terrific!!!

Happy Quilting,
Debbie

Civil War Quilt Progress

I've been working on this Civil War Quilt for my husband.  It will have pictures of some of his relatives who actually fought at Gettysburg and other sites during the Civil War.  It's coming along very nicely, I got twelve blocks done at the retreat I went to over Labor Day weekend, but there is a total of 30 to do!!!  I'll be sure and post a picture when it's done.  Enjoy!  Debbie
