All is Calm.....

Happy New Years Eve.   I hope you had a peaceful Holiday Season.
I finished my mini Asian One Block Wonder
Lilly  21" x 24"

 Here you can see how small it really is.

 I quilted it the same design as the large quilt.

 The backing is a bit of a mashup with what I had leftover. (still needs a label)

I also made this quick modern mini.  I just felt like making something new the other day. 
Chicken Little 12" x 14"

 I had exactly 1 strip of this cute fabric.  I think I picked it up teachinga workshop or from the free table at guild.

I like to use a single fold binding for little quilts.  I have also developed a new pre-pressing method and glue basting which makes the hand sewing go very smoothly.   Hhhhmm  maybe I should do a tutorial?  

I found a fat eighth of this pretty fabric I picked up somewhere for the backing.

Yay!  Here are some great Liberated House quilts from a workshop I taught last spring for the Ocean Wave Quilt guild.  Thank you Lorraine for sharing this photo.  I see Elmo, lol.

My talented friend, Nancy, finished her Christmas Lollipop Garden workshop Quilt.  Very Cute!

Mah Jongg! Santa brought me a beautiful set for christmas.  I'm very excited to learn and play.

It came with a beautiful carrying bag.  

 I am spending time everyday with lessons on YouTube and I'm looking for a local teacher.

I also received a vintage ViewMaster and some new vintage reels including Mary Poppins one of my all time favorites.

Today we are going to see Mary Poppins with friends and then out for dinner.  Home early which is just how I like on New Years Eve.

Thank you all for making my blogging rewarding by continuing to read and leave comments.  I am very grateful for my little corner of Bloglandia. 

I wish all Peace and Joy for 2019~

Catch Up Post

Finished Swap Quilt!

Maureen brought her quilt to a presentation I was giving in Warwick NY.  It is hand appliqued and hand quilted.  I Love it!  What wonderful borders.

Lin McQ sent me this photo of her finished Folk Art Top.  She is calling it Menagerie.  Isn't it fabulous?  She used my patterns and made many of her own.

I finished this a while back but forgot to post it.

Lollipop Table Runner:   Dinner with Abe

Here is the backing a bit plain and tame for me.

I'm working here and there on my mini one block wonder.  It is time consuming and I had to take out a hexagon and resize it and set it back in....it is resting now, and so am I. ha ha

I am so happy that fall is here in CT. 
Have a Happy Week!
