It's National Quilting Day!

I visited the quilt shop that moved into Geneva, Ohio called A Quilting Affair.  While there I found Sweet Liberty designed by Pat Sloan and distributed by P&B Textiles.  It's a great patriotic fabric and I purchased a Fat quarter pack. 

I'm a member of the From Marti and Me Club at Cottonpickers Quilt Shop in Chardon.  Our current project is Seven Sisters.


Gayle had mentioned during our class that you could use Fat Quarters so I decided to use my Sweet Liberty ones.  I picked out seven of the ones I thought would stand out the best against a cream background.








I have completed the first three blocks.

Magic Moon by Elisa's Backporch Design

I recently tested a new pattern called Magic Moon for Elisa's Backporch Design she used my favorite colors in her sample!!


I have used her templates to make a Dunkard's Path quilt.


This is my Cat's Paw Drunkard's Path Quilt.  It's actually together and quilted, I need a new picture.  It was made using Elisa's Moon In Window pattern.

January 2011 Completions

Inaddtion to the finishing of my first UFO of 2011 I have also completed some others projects. 

Unfortunately I can't post pictures.  They are patterns that I have been testing.  I have to wait for the ok by the designers before posting pictures.  In January, I completed 3 lap quilt tops.  They all used fabric from my stash.  One was scarlet and gray, one was made of fish fabric and the last one was made of brights.  I also completed my first paper piecing project in the form of 2 BOM's (block of the months).  The 2 BOM's may have to be made again, because I think they are too small.  With paper piecing that you print the foundation off of a computer you have to be careful with the size. 

I hope I have as productive of a February.
