A Couple of Finishes

I took a break from working on my "To Do" list for a couple of days.  I was going through some of the wire baskets I keep fabric in and I found some finished wall quilt tops that needed to be quilted.  So I spent the day getting three of them sandwiched and another day to get 2 of them quilted.

First up is Pink Lemonade....



Many of you know that this was a QAL hosted by Lori at Humble Quilts.  I machine quilted this with straight lines on the diagonal.  The pink fabric was some vintage fabric I was saving for just the perfect project.

Next up is a Doll Quilt...


Another machine quilted project.  I was happy with the way it turned out.

I usually hand quilt these little quilts....however, I have so much going on and they would have ended up in yet another forgotten spot.  So in order to get some projects finished I opted to machine quilt.

I have one more quilt ready to machine quilt.  It is a small Log Cabin quilt that was a very first project for me.  It is made from old calico's and polyester fabrics.  My seam allowances were very wonky, therefore the quilt is very wonky.  Not at all square.  But I'm going to practice some free motion quilting on it.  I'll show you when I am done.

I found a couple of hours to work on my Bluebird feed sack project.  I like where it is going.  All will be revealed in April.

Well we finally got some warmer weather.  It is 42 degrees out with blue skies and sunshine.  But alas...back to the 20's later in the week.  And it is suppose to snow again.  I just looked out in the backyard and there are big puddles from the snow melting.  Oh well!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you are having a great start to the week.

Hugs, Cathy

Wow Cathy you have been SO busy - I'm scrolling through 5 new posts I hadn't seen yet and am amazed at all you've done!!! I love that Pink Lemonade, and of course your Primitive Primer...I had a good giggle that your "to be quilted" pile is 3ft high though! I have 2 quilts that need quilting, that's it. Congrats on your new Featherweight, although I'm so sorry for the hubby and daughter. How lovely of you to make her a quilt, it's so gorgeous!
