First of all a question. What do you think of my new header picture? It reminds me of the end of summer.
I've been busy this last week.
This is September's EQ7 BOM. It was a difficult block that I made easier by dividing up the block into squares and triangles.
Here is the nine blocks all together. It is going to be a nice wall hanging when its done.
I got behind on my Barbara Brackman CW Blocks. Now I'm up to date.
I really love the 15 minutes play BOM. I ran out of cheddar and bought some new fabric. It is slightly different but I think it will work. This is the Anvil block. Victoria posted a tutorial for the block on the 15 minutes play blog. The link is on my side bar.
Here is Cowen's quilt. I just finished sewing down the binding this morning and had to hang it up to get a picture. I love how it turned out. I machine quilted in the ditch on the pieced blocks and had quilted either a heart or star in the plain blocks. I backed it with some flannel fabric. Now we await the arrival of Cowen.
I've mentioned before that I belong to a group called "Quilters, Books and Bindings". We are all reading the same book and then we are making a quilt from some aspect of the book. The book is The Lover's Knot by Clare O'Donohue. It takes place in a town on the shores of the Hudson River. In the book there is a scene along the river where the main character in the book is re-proposed to . This is what my quilt is based on. I made it small so I can kill two birds with one quilt. When I'm done it will be my September AAQI quilt.
And finally.....
I'm changing out my quilts again. I love this Log Cabin quilt. I was given a ton of strips from a quilting friend. At the time my daughter, Kim, was just starting to sew so I offered them to her. She declined by saying you can't make anything from them. Well I just had to prove her wrong. This is what I came up with. You know my scraps are getting bigger so I think it is time to make another Log Cabin quilt.
I hope you have had a nice time visiting with me today. I've enjoyed sharing.
Wishing you a quilty weekend.
Hugs, Cathy
