Another Star Point Charity Quilt

This quilt is also from left over points to a quilt I made a few years ago.

These last two quilts have cleaned out all of the point parts that I had.

I also used the Baptist fan for the quilting on it.

All the other fabric is also from my stash.

It feels so good to clean out and use up my fabric bits and pieces.

Brown Star Charity Quilt

This is a left over star points quilt. The points were me over zealously making points for a quilt I made a few years ago.

I decided a year ago that it is time to clean all orphan blocks and parts.

All of the fabric in this quilt is from my stash.

I used the Baptist fan groovy board for the quilting.

Groot wanted to be a part of the picture taking.

Charity Quilt Completed

This pattern is from Jenny Doan but I can't remember the name of it.

I have cut up allot of my fabric into 5" squares so this quilt is totally from stash.

Some of the fabrics kinda read solid and one or two are kinda wild but for the most part the squares all have flowers in them.

It was great to finally use up the flower fabric I have on the border.  I have had this fabric for over 10 years and it is time for it to be gone.

This will be a charity quilt. I am finishing up a number these quilts and I will be taking them into the humanitarian center in August.

Keep on Scrappin!

Mystery Quilt 2018 Completed

This is the Bonnie Hunter annual mystery quilt for 2018.

I was able to stay up with the clues each time and put the top together some time in February.

Although I am happy with the results of the quilt I don';t really like the colors of the quilt. I am not a fan of red and orange together. The quilt is very dramatic looking though.

This quilt is going to Lindsy, April & Kerry's adopted daughter. It's a long story so I won't explain it.

This quilt is the usual many small pieces that Bonnie is known for. Most of the quilt is from my stash. I purchased a few fat quarters so I could have more variety in the quilt.

Keep on Scrappin!

April Completion-Just barely made it!

This is a completely from stash quilt. It is a king size quilt!

I have made this quilt before and in fact the old one is on my bed right now. It is a double Irish Chain from Bonnie Hunter.

I have drawers full of 2 inch squares cut up and I was trying very hard to make a big dent in these drawers. I made a dent but not a big one.

The background fabric I purchased in Loa several years ago.  The border is a batik I purchased in Panquitch a few years ago. I have also made an apron from this fabric. The lime green poka dots is recently purchased fabric but not specifically for this quilt. I used a king sized flat sheet for the backing. I used a recent pantogram that LouAnn Wilkins purchased for me for quilting her last quilt.

Groot decided he would like to be a quilt star.

He is into a close inspection of the 2 inch squares. I am very pleased with this quilt.

More quilts are lined up for the HQ right now.

March Completions

I have two completions for the month of March.

This wall hanging is my own design. I have collected handkerchiefs for years with the plans to make them into a quilt or wall hanging. I have been very slow in finally doing this. These are just a few of the handkerchiefs that I had.

But I just wanted to use the prettiest ones and then I gave the rest to Jenny. It is time for me to finish up the projects that I have had in my mind for over 30 years. I custom quilted this project.

This wall hanging I made from the book I bought to make a special quilt for Ron. I really liked doing the curved piecing.

I also custom quilted this wall hanging.

I have hung this in the spare bedroom that I have decorated.

On to more Scraps!

February Completions

This quilt was actually completed in February.

I purchased these girls when I was 16 years old. They are a pattern I bought after taking  Tri-chem classes with my Mom. My parents bought the Tri-chem paints for my sixteenth birthday.

I have packed the patterns around since then. I was always going to paint them but finally I felt it would be better to hand embroidery them.

So a few years ago I started on them. There were 28 original girls and I finished 14. I had had enough so I am done with the embroidery.

I would look up each flower on the internet and then match my embroidery floss as close as possible with the colors I could see online.

I used my machine embroidery to do the names of each flower.

I know the pictures are not very good but I think they show them as best as I could. I used all fabrics from my stash.

I custom quilted it and I think it turned out pretty good.

These two last ones are the ones that would not fit into the quilt.

I have made them into wall hangings and will hang them in the spare bedroom.

I am working away on some more wall hangings and then I will be quilting for a friend next.

Keep on Scrappin!
