Scarlet and Gray Trunk Show

I spent this past Sunday afternoon with Joyce Ely from Jellen's House of Fabric in Lyndhurst, Ohio.  When I met Joyce last year we discovered that we were both Buckeyes!  Which means that we graduated from The Ohio State University and we Bleed Scarlet and Gray!!!

She had asked me if I would be willing to share with her customer's some of my Scarlet and Gray quilts.  I said sure, it would force me to get them quilted and bound by the beginning of October.  I was able to deliver 6 quilts, 3 wallhangings and 2 tote bags.  With the help of my quilter Jennifer McCann and my friend Leita Shahan who helped me complete the bindings.

Joyce and her assistants did a great job setting up the displays and hanging the quilts.

She has some great scarlet and gray fabric if you want to make your own quilt.

If you stop to visit Joyce you need to check out the Script Ohio quilt that Mary Coffey made!

The quilts will be on display until October 15th.

Halloween Kittens

A couple of weeks ago I found this Halloween Kittens fabric at Keepsake Quilting from Hoffman Fabrics.

I have never been a big Halloween fan, but this fabric just was so cute!!

I sent a picture to my Mom and see decided she wanted a couple pillows for her 70th Birthday.

Nermal is helping me press Grandma's pillow top!!

There faces and customes are just so cute!!!  Nermal and Garfield sure have a little devil inside of them!

 And check out this little witch!!

If you look close you can see the spiderweb motif I designed for the machine quilting.

Nermal decided to cozy up with these cute kitties!

The pillows are 14" and I think the orange and brown work well with the fabric.

Happy Birthday Mom!!!

I have entered my Scarlet and Gray Allover at the Quilting Gallery themed quilt contest.

For my non-quilting friends you may be asking what is a Flying Geese?

A flying is geese is a unit that is twice as long as it is wide and is made up of 3 triangles.

This block is made up of 2 Flying Geese units, and was used in piecing the border.

Flying Geese are also used to create Variable Stars.

The center block of my quilt is made up of 3 different sizes of Flying Geese.
