Merry Christmas!

I think I will sit by the fire till next year!

My favorite wool socks made by my friend Nancy in Wyoming.

Stadium Quilt #3

 Done sewing and quilting for the rest of the year.  I put the binding on this last blanket last night.  Whoot.  Now, I can make caramels.....

Freehand topographical quilting.

Fleece and denim, Hobbs 80/20 batting, Signature cotton thread.

Fleece binding. 

Stadium Quilt #2

Just finished up another stadium blanket: Denim and fleece with fleece binding. 

I made one last month with no batting.  Good thing it was for myself ...it's great to fold and sit on at the hockey games, but I didn't think it was warm enough when we wrapped up in it at the last October soccer game.  They are 60 x 90--perfect for 2 people.

So.

I put batting in this one and used Hobbs 80/20.  I had several good sized chunks of batting and pieced 3 together for this project.  You can easily piece batting.  I posted a tutorial 3 years ago HERE.

How fun is this?

I grabbed some red fleece from the shelf and whipped this binding on in no time.

Tutorial for that is HERE.

Quilted with bright yellow cotton thread.

Pantograph pattern: Sprung, by Willow Leaf Studio.

Quilt of Valor #63

This Quilt of Valor top was made by Judy in Newark, Ohio.

I worked my way across with this fun freehand motif and highlighted a star in the white blocks.

The border got sets of random curves sprinkled with more stars. 

Love her flag and stars backing.
