Some quilting "dones"...

Here are a couple projects that I have finished recently. The top picture is just the back of a small wallhanging, showing my freehand feathers and the red and green... well, it speaks for itself. I love it! My Aunt Sheila gave me the top which was appliqued by her grandma. I have been meaning to get to it for a couple years, but you know how things can get crazy on ya. So I finally bought the backing and goterdone. It reminds me of a Hawaiian quilt, so that is how I quilted it- echos and such. It looks great on the bed. I am still needing to bind it- binding is cut, and I just bought some green thread, so soon, maybe.

I do have a couple quilts to do for family of family. Ordered thread for these projects as I am running low. I have been finding my empty cones all over the house with strips of fabric wrapped around them- imitating lighthouses. The kids and their imaginations never cease to make me smile. I must being doing something right as a teacher as I have been having to make them put the books away and go outside and play! I am working on a wedding quilt- I have three weddings this year. I'll be keeping it simple. Then I went and bought 42 yards of fabric... yes I think that deserves a post of its own. Maybe tomorrow. Stay tuned...
