There is proof —no goofing off here! Some days, of course, are more productive than others. The past few weeks my quilting buddy and I had prepared our tops to do long arm quilting at our local quilt shop. It’s a fun day when we venture into that special room!
Top #1 my friend has used this interesting set for this top!
She had a collection of "Fiesta" shirts from San Antonio big yearly event. The tee shirts are so colorful-she took a tee shirt class and used her shirts to create this smashing top
The backing was a bright yellow minkie--when I took the photo, the yellow color washed out--but trust me, it is a bright yellow.
Finally! Put this heart quilt top together--been sewing on it for several months. THis is from Fat Quarter Shop charity yearly event. Lots of hearts!
I used a good portion from the stash bin
Another one finished! THis is a top I had in my 'to do' list for awhile--finally got it under the long arm needle. It was a free monthly quilt along several years ago
I decided to do boxes for my quilting mode--not bad for my first time quilting straight lines.
THis is a leader-ender block top--done on paper 8.5'X8.5" When I had several, I had to put them together to see the results of all those blocks of strings--think I'll add to it as time goes along.
Now, it's a perfect size for tot's bed
up close and personal. I used my camera to see how the blocks fit together before I sewed them together.
An orphan finish! I really enjoy constructing these orphan blocks into a top.
If you ever make one too many blocks--then think what am I going to do with these leftovers?
no problem--just save them for later sewing.
So many interesting orphans went into this top! The geisha girls are from a wall hanging my friend did many moons ago--didn't have the heart to destroy this when we redid our bedroom. It fits nicely in this group. IN fact, I don't think there is anything that doesn't fit into an orphan!
At the present time, I'm working on 'chicken' orphan! Soon it will be completed for show and tell!
