Where has the time gone!??
Oh my!! I can't believe it has been so long since I have posted!
I think I know, just by counting the new wrinkles on my face...but I am back!
Let's see what I have been up to. Or maybe I should say, let's see all the UFO's that have accumulated. Actually, I am currently working on some quilts for family members. The one I am working on today is a Double sliced Layer cake quilt that I found on one of my favorite sites The Missouri Star Quilt Company https://youtu.be/jxC-0T5lXw4
I love Jenny! Thank goodness for her, cause she makes my quilts look like I have worked so hard on them when in fact, they really are easy peasy!
I tried to go rogue and make a quilt without a design, and it came back to bite me in the ...well you know. I don't like it and so now it sits half finished and I have to finish it soon because it is a gift for Christmas eeek! sigh... Anyway, here are the squares that I am working on.
They are almost all done squaring up. (yes, I now square up my blocks before I put them together!) Its funny how you learn things after a few years of making quilts that do not come out right. What I mean by that is that they aren't square, or they don't line up with my backing, and every one of my quilts is wonky! But that's ok, because the quilts I have made so far have gone to love ones and they don't seem to mind. Did I mention that I have only been quilting for about 5 years? So yes, I am a newbie, but I am learning lots from some amazing quilters!
One of these great quilters that I have learned from is Bonnie Hunter! I discovered Bonnie Hunter and scrap quilting about two years ago and I am now hooked! I just finished my first mystery quilt of hers called the Grand Illusion. Here it is!
And then last November I found myself in the frenzy again with Alleitare! I have not finished it yet but am aching to get back to it. She is amazing! You can find her at http://quiltville.com/...but I digress...
Having said that, the quilt blocks that you see being squared up today, aren't scrappy, but they "need" to get done! And so, until next time...who knows, I might even get a chance to do some editing on that book...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Who am I kidding? I'll be busy quilting!
And sew...I stitch!
