Some Quilting

I want to thank all of you have sent me prayers, hugs and shared your similar experiences.  You will never know how much this means to me.

I go tomorrow and have the savy tracker place in my left breast.  This will help the surgeon access the right spot.  My surgery is scheduled for Monday the 21st at 9:30 am.  I will be happy to get this part over with.

I have been able to work on a few projects.


This is the final block for Pat Sloan's Out of this World Sew Along.


This is the completed top.  I am going to add a 2" inner border of the black fabric and then a 3" outer border of the background fabric.  I'll use the black fabric for the binding.  This is going to happen after my surgery.

I purchased Layer Cake of some Christmas fabric.  I had printed up a pattern for a Layer Cake Log Cabin quilt.


I have enough strips cut to make two table quilts.  I haven't sewn this blocks together yet but I love how it looks.  I have another Layer Cake that I want to make a couple more of these.  They will be Christmas gifts.


Did you see Lori's (Humble Quilts) latest sew along.  It was called Almost Amish.  Well I couldn't resist.


The original call for 9 blocks to make a square wall hanging.  I made an additional block to make a table runner.  I love how it turned out.  Thanks to Lori for another wonderful Sew Along.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs, Cathy

  10. Your table runner version of Almost Amish is beautiful. Best wishes for a successful surgery and a speedy recovery too. From a 20+ year survivor.

  11. I love how you arranged the colors for your Almost Amish quilt table runner, Cathy. It is just gorgeous! Did you know in advance what would happen -- that the red and white inside the blue would move forward and the grey and turquoise would recede? Of all the ones I've seen, this is the most stunning.
    I hope you're feeling better and better each day. I'm guessing you're home already but maybe not quite up to par? Take care.
