I finished making the last 8 blocks needed for my Plaid Jacob's Ladder. Then I got all the blocks sewn into rows and had time to sew the top together.
I really like the way this turned out. It will get quilted next month and is going to be a Christmas present.
Now for my WIP...back in 2013 Lori from Humble Quilts and Randy from Barristers Block had a QAL. I got it done up to the appliqued border.
I finished the appliqued vine and yesterday I basted the applique pieces to the bottom of the quilt. I made the date 2014 since this is the year it will be finished.
Now for my find.
While scrounging around some boxes in the basement I came across these blocks. Back in 1999 I took a class with Trudie Hughes. These are the blocks I made. Unfortunately I can't find any of the fabric I used for the stars and only a little of the fabric from the logs. So instead of a large quilt I will have a table runner. I think I want to try a large quilt with different fabrics.
As I told you in a previous post I finally made it up north to visit my son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter. It was a good visit but....I was sick all the way up, my husband was sick the next day, my granddaughter broke her arm the day we went up and she was sick the day after my husband and the day we left my son was sick.
We did have a day that Terry and I got to go out and do a little sight seeing. When we got up north they had 3 feet of snow. Luckily the weather was warm and they lost a good majority of it. Lake Superior had a lot of ice with pockets of open water. These are pictures taken at a little park by the bay.
These little islands are a favorite spot for NMU college students to swim out too and paint their graduation name on.
Here is the Marquette Light House out on the point.
The sun is shining today and I think we are going to go to Metro Park for a walk. Sammie too.
I hope you are having a wonderful weekend. Thanks for stopping by.
Hugs, Cathy
