A Flimsy

I finished another flimsy.



This is the same quilt I showed you earlier.  Only the fabrics have changed.  I've got fabric for the backing ordered.  Once it arrives I will get this one quilted and ready to give as a gift at Christmas.



Don't forget that Today is the last day to enter the Giveaway for a copy of Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Vol. 14.

Thanks for stopping by.

Busy Hands

It's that time of year when I am busy finishing up Christmas gifts.  I've put everything else on hold.  I'm not working on any of my sew alongs.  Putting these projects up and saving monthly patterns.  Time to get my hands busy.

We did take some time off the other day and went for a ride up the Lake Huron side of Michigan.  We ended up in Lexington.  This is a picture of the docks.


It was such a beautiful day.

Back home and back to work.  A few finishes.


This one is for me.  It is for my 12" quilt stand.  I can keep it up all through November.



A Christmas gift.  It is 5" x 20".



Another Christmas gift.  It is 36" x 42" and is made from Jelly Rolls.  It went really quickly.  I quilted it using a serpentine stitch.  This is my favorite go to stitch.  I am working on second one.  It will be 54" x 60".  The plus signs are in solid colors and the 4 corners on the blocks are gray prints.  I'm a little over half way done with these blocks.  Can't wait to show it to you.

Now don't forget about the giveaway I am hosting.


One of my followers will be receiving a copy.  Please enter on the original post here.  I have received comments from no comment bloggers.  They are Google+ followers.  Be sure to put your email in your comment so I can contact you if you win.  Good luck.
