odds and ends

Happy Tuesday - Just popping in with a post of randomness.

Here is a little quilt that I had hanging and I don't think I've shared it before.  It was made for a Brownstone Guild Challenge in 2009.

The challenge was called Literal Translations.  So you were to make a quilt based on a block name or a setting, i.e., Ohio star, barn raising, irish chain, bow tie, etc.

I did "Log Cabin".  It is raw edge appliqued and string pieced.


The backing is funny pig and holly fabric that I won at a fabric exchange.  It still makes me laugh.


Today I'm working in my "Frankenstorm" quilt.  It is really fussy working with this tiny pieces.


Look how much it has shrunk after sewing!  I'm not a great paper piecer, so this is a little bit of a challenge for me.

Last week I picked up a few Christmas Plants - Amaryllis, Paper Whites,


and for a change of pace, a Christmas Catcus.


Look at this lovely example of a red  and  white Christmas cactus quilt.  I found it on line Here.


Does this dog look guilty to you?
After the heat came back on, there were a lot of quilts to  put away.


Have a great week and I'll see you Friday.
