New Projects Anyone?

[Charley]

I am starting on a red, white and blue flag pillow. I hope I don't get sidetracked. With the colder weather, maybe I can stay with it. Got a lot of it planned today and am working on machine embroidering the 50 states' names on the stripes. Oh, this is for me!

4 table runners complete, there are two of the one at the top (gold triangles).

Blue and yellow quilt complete, no idea what my camera did to the lighting/exposure, but it'll do for now.

 

[Marsha Cassada]

Nice work on the runners! Lots of mitering there, too. I did my barn quilt in that bottom pattern.

Tree skirt top. If I sew the last seam, and add a circle of fabric to the center, it could be a table topper.

 

[Marsha Cassada]

That's a fun topper! Reminds me of my men's tie projects.

Enjoying everyone latest creations! I am now inspired to finally complete a tree skirt begun some time back.

This baby/lap quilt I am slowly working on is at this stage now. I think it needs another narrower border in pink to frame it off. The photo is poor I know, it looks greenish but the print is blue and pink. I will have to machine quilt it for lack of time to hand quilt.

Or just pink binding, maybe.

While I figured out (find) an appropriate fabric to bind my tree skirt, I've started on this panel project...

I found this fabric a year or two ago, and just couldn't resist, it's too cute. Started working on a quilt; pieced side borders and using border stripe fabric for top and bottom borders (may make them the same or use both "prints" one for each).

I just got some buttons from a button friend in Australia. The male kangaroo is called a jack and the female is a jill. The creature that looks like a hedgehog is a echidna. The bird is a kookaburra.

The black creature under the boomerang is a Tasmanian devil.

The black creature under the boomerang is a Tasmanian devil.

The ones on the left look like ceramic, but they are made of bread dough. The button maker is from Tasmania.

 

[Ryan Johnson]

I would of said ceramic for sure, would never have guessed bread dough.

I'm working on miniature horse fly bonnets!

These are amazing! I have favorited your shop.

I make my own yarn and sort of some hats and such.
Blue hat before I accidentally shrunk it in the dryer...

I got my center sewn together today, now to measure and cut borders.

Your quilt is so beautiful. I just love blues and yellows together.

I don't do much, if any, sewing in the summer, too busy outside.

However, fall is upon us, so I went to the quilt guilds Saturday sewing day and got two tops pinned for quilting. The tops had been finished awhile ago, and just needed layering and pinning to get ready for quilting. ANd, then I had a rainy day with hubby out of the house, so I got them both quilted. I also started a quilt last spring that I'll be digging out shortly.

And, the one I need to get back to work on, I sewed all the half-square triangles last spring, then set them aside, not sure if I can sew them as is, or if I'm going to need to square them all up, there are nearly 100 of them.

Is that strip quilt made from a jelly roll? All of them are really nicely done.

 

[chandab]

I think it was a small jelly roll, plus a few strips I cut, as it was a small jelly roll, there weren't quite enough strips to make a lap size quilt

 

[Sam]

It’s very beautiful. Was it easy? I’m thinking os doing something as a laprobe for my Dad in the nursing home.

That is so beautiful, do you have a photo of one of your mini’s wearing one? And is it your own design?
