A new table runner. Love a quilt that involves piecing and hand applique.  This pattern is called Treasures from the Scrap Bin.  Love the color combination of orange and blue.

 This quilt pattern is called My Happy Place by Lori Holt. Depicts all the different parts of sewing.  I found a friend who also loves quilting and we both made this quilt using Lori Holt fabric.  It was a new way to prepare applique using interfacing.  I really like this method.  So now my sewing room has a new wall hanging..........it is my happy place.

 Moda Love Charm Quilt pattern.  I used Lori Holt fabric instead of Moda fabric but used their free pattern.  I really enjoyed making this and I feel my quilting turned out well.  It is easier to quilt a smaller project.

 This is called Art Square.  Wanted a quilt to hang on my dark orange wall.  The white squares look like pumpkins but they are actually pin cushions with needle and thread.  


 This quilt is called Swoon Sixteen..........sixteen inch blocks, sixteen blocks.

I used Lori Holt Fabrics.  I've bought 4 fat quarter bundles of her fabrics.  I really love the colors and patterns.  I imagine I will grow tired of making quilts from the same fabrics, but not yet!

This is called Coming Home by Sarah Fielke.  Took 2 1/2 months.  It was really fun to make........as I always say.  The pattern had pieces to trace instead of measurements to cut multiples so I had trouble lining them up.  Not the usual way to put together a quilt.  Also, it weighs a lot and was a bit difficult to move around especially on the longarm but I'm happy with how it looks now.  Want to do smaller quilts again.

Hand applique projects from My Enchanted Garden book by Gretchen Gibbons.

This block is called Happy Bouquet

This block is called Fancy Flowers.




This block is called Bountiful Tree.

Love to have hand applique projects to work on while watching shows.  Also nice to do a smaller project.


 

 Sew spooky quilt pattern by The Quilt Company.  Used steam a seam for smaller pieces.  Some embroidery and extra accessories were also used...
