Little wall hangings

Happy scraps :0) made into a little log cabin..the logs are .5 inch finished, this hangs upstairs in my hallway and is a 24" square
This little tumbling block quilt was made in 1989 completely by hand, it is a 22" square. I remember dragging these pieces around to my childrens activities to keep me busy while I waited.

Little log cabin

I love this little quilt, it hangs in my powder room where the 28 inch square does not get lost in a big space. I quilted it by copying a pattern on tracing paper then stitching by machine through the paper then tearing it away.
On non-quilty subjects I've had laryngitis for nearly a month and believe me it is getting old !

shirt-stripe boxes


Oh how I love this orange striped shirt......so much so that I hate to cut it and I got it for FREE!
It is a brand new Brooks Brothers 100% shirt!
I keep debating with myself should I add it to this quilt top or use it for something else?
Keep shirt-stripe boxes as shown in Kaffe Fassett's book "Passionate Patchwork" or add some
pizzazz? Should I just go for it?

Pick and Choose....still talking?


Everything but the kitchen sink is in this scrappy top. Directions on how to make a fabric book from a panel, scraps sent by Erin, reused pieces from my top swing your partner, and left over bits from various other Bonnie Hunter mysteries. Somehow it just doesn't feel finished. Lazy Gal pointed it out to me and I have the left the top out to study it a bit more.........maybe it will tell me what it wants.......I'm listening :0).

Pick and Choose take two

So I added the border.....is it better or worse? Well... it is done. This is how it will stay :0)
It has everything in it, the turquoise is from a shirt, the directions for how to make a baby book are in there too, you know the stuff they print on the side of a panel.......and almost everything in between ......this is truly scrappy. I even have a few pieces that Erin send me from her leftover Pick and Choose. :0)

Pick and Choose

So when does a scrap quilt become just too scrappy and start looking like a jumbled mess.....this quilt is right on the edge of being that mess......I'm going to try adding a border of two constant colors, still following the pattern and see if that helps.

Micah's hand label

Micah's Birthday quilt

This quilt is for a dear friends little girl.......she is turning 13 this week! I made the label by tracing her hand then transferring it with stitches to the label, adding some embroidery from my new Janome 6600, then writing Happy birthday and signing it in my own hand with red ink.
