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!

A Small Completion

I have a small completion. I call it a small completion because the quilt itself is small.

The quilt pattern I bought several years ago and I have finally got around to making this one. I have made a number of quilts from this book but for the most part I haven't liked them because the quilts in the book are too small. I really prefer to make 65" by 85" (twin/lapsized) quilts.

I again used the Baptist Fan groovy board from my HQ. I backed it with pieced together leftover sheets from the previous quilts.

The fabrics in this quilt are all from my stash and many are leftovers from the fabrics I purchased for the trailer quilts I have made.

I am very involved in a number of other quilts and will post when I have another completion.
I will Keep on Scrappin!

Hey, Another Completion!

This quilt is an extra made from the extra blocks I had from the big quilt I made for our trailer bed.
I was going to make the trailer bed quilt larger but then changed my mind and decided I wanted a couple of borders on it instead.

This quilt will also go into the trailer as a lap quilt.

I used the Baptist fan on this quilt. I use this quilting pattern allot because it is pleasing to the eye but also because it is just enough quilting to help the quilt last longer.

The backing is a sheet that was purchased for the trailer bed but it ended up being too small for the bed. No problem there though because I use sheets often for these quilts.

This was a quick and easy quilt to put out and this will get used allot while camping.

I will keep on Scrappin!

Using up parts in stash

This quilt is another example of using up parts from my stash in my clean out efforts. I had many leftovers from a previous quilt that I just didn't want to throw out.

It is a very small quilt but should be OK as a charity quilt for a little girl.

I was having trouble with the HQ again so I had to talk to the tech about the issues I was having after I got this quilt off from the HQ. I am disappointed in stitches but I think it will work out OK.

I used the Baptist fan groovy board for the quilting. I used a hot pink for the thread on this one.

I think this is a very cheery quilt in spite of the issues I was having.

Lots of Scrapiness going on around here!

Second Completion for 2019

Bright and cheery! This quilt also would have been completed in December 2018 if my HQ had not gone down.

This was a jelly roll I had for several years. I have been cleaning up in my Quilt Studio and wanted to clear out old stuff.

The inner and outer borders are from my stash also!

I did the Whirly Gig pantogram for the quilting and bought a new sheet for the backing.

This quilt will be going to Sarah. I hope she likes it.

More Scrappiness!
