Some More Pieces on the Go...


Some progress in the quilt along...


This star is 1 of 4 for a baby quilt.


This is my first attempt at some applique (I think) Christmas wall hanging.

Another Preemie in Progress

This will finish at 24' x 24'.


Will have a name by the time I'm done I'm sure!

Red Sky

I think I'm going to start naming my quilts!

Red Sky - finished.


I quilted around and around the inside piece of each star with 1/4 inch sewing space.


Inbetween the red of the star I did my first attempt at free motion quilting.  It's hard to see in the picture.


And on the polka dot section I did my first attempting at free motion quilting - pebbling.



The backing fabric is similar to the fabric used on the top - but different.

Mini Star Piece Finished!

I wanted to do some tester quilting in a star pattern.  I really liked this start idea, and had made a large quilt with the same stars different fabric.  This was a test small piece.


It's finished at about 24' x 24'.  I like the quilting in the star.


Tried a few different techniques and stitches.  Machine sewed the binding, which I will not do again unless I figure out another way to do it so it looks better.
