The Pro Stitcher

My pro stitcher was finally installed and I am learning by doing. These are not perfect but very useable and will be perfect for quilty hug quilts.  Meastro was my assistant and gave me the thumbs up.

Miss Kitty is Quilted

She is a beauty.  Maestro is the model inspector.  As soon as it was in the floor she was on it trying to cover herself.  I kind of yelled at her to stop.  Her look says "who me"?

A little fun on the long arm

I made a back for this top this morning before breakfast (pancakes and eggs).  Then after breakfast, quilted it with a gentle swirl.  The back is fun using odd blocks from the orphan bag which by the way need to be sewn up.  How did it get so full?

Enjoy the pictures of Maestro inspecting the quilt.  She thinks it's comfy!🐸

Eye Fooler

I attached the last regular row onto Liz and Bills quilt top yesterday.  This picture is a teaser for Liz as she will not see it until it is done.  This is a good representation of the fabrics and colors.  



Disregard the rug and litter box.  I am in the middle of a bathroom renovation and space is limited.



I found this top in the massive block pile.  I have other blocks.  Do I make it bigger or make another with the other blocks?



Sweet Maestro chillin.

Sew something today.

MAM Blocks

Lately I have been trying to tame a big bag of scraps.  It's 80% reduced now and I have put it away as I am ready for something different.  

On the way to be ironed.



The last batch.



Inspector Maestro checking it out!



A little kiss for Mama.  See my paw?



And finally a picture without the inspector.



The are 82 blocks here.  

The master bathroom is being remodeled and all the the stuff that was stored there has been dragged out.  I'm in the process of going through the multitude of bags of blocks.  Does anyone else have this issue?

Anyway I found 75 more MAM blocks so I have enough for at least two quilts.  Lots of labels were made and one batik quilt in progress was taken out for finishing with the possibility of another small one being made from the additional blocks.

Time to get up and start something...

Almost There

I thought I had enough blocks but I didn't. So more nine patches are needed. I am making this queen size and it will have borders of some kind. I'm thinking pieced hearts.

Making Blocks With Help

I started making blocks yesterday for the Celtic Solstice Quilt. As of late this morning I completed all the blocks with four patches and spiky stars and a few of the pin wheel blocks. I need to finish the pin wheels blocks and then I can start assembling the top.

Lucy is a block magnet as soon as they are on the floor.











Maestro had to get involved as she didn't want to miss out.





Shortly after these pictures were taken, my blocks were re-arranged willy nilly.

Having fun with the kitties!
