 Couch pillows.  Used the patterns from The Raven  book.  Hand applique and quilted on my longarm.



 Oldest granddaughter's 9th birthday outfit.  She wanted a jump suit and she picked out the fabric from the Connecting Threads website.  She tried it on for size a couple weeks ago.  I told her that she needs to forget about it for now so it will be surprise on her birthday.  Saw her a few days later and she said "Grammy, I tried very hard to forget about it but I thought about it all night long."
McCall's pattern M7459.........very easy to make.

Always need to have a hand applique project to work on while I watch movies.  Making 4 different Raven Squares for living room couch pillows.  Using the book The Raven by Blackbird Designs.  Using my longarm to quilt the block before it is sewn into a pillow cover.


Daughter picked fabrics and design for this quilt.  Wedding gift for her friend.  Random placement was fun.  Lines for quilting pattern.

My first pineapple quilt.  Watched Jenny Doan, Missouri Star, demonstrate how to make this quilt.  She made it look so easy.  I bought the Pineapple Trim Tool.  It was easy and I loved using my scraps.  Went together quickly.  It looks much more complicated than it is...........

Made this quilt a few months ago and just finished the binding.  Looks a bit like Christmas.  The block is called Union Square Variation.  Found the block pattern on the Quilt Blocks Galore website........by Marcia Hohn.  Very fun to make traditional block quilts. Did an overall quilting pattern with my Innova Longarm.
