Hey, can you believe it I finally have DS's quilt off the machine. This quilt was a long time in the process, I actually started it about 2 years ago to hang on a very large wall in their house. Oh well, now it will go on his bed. I think it is a very masculine looking quilt, just great for a guy, and it being a "Carpenter's Star" it fits the receipient well as he is a carpenter. So this is quite a large quilt, about 93x105, I don't like square quilts so I added the 2 stripes top and bottom. I used up a lot of my stash, didn't buy one single new fabric, even had some flannel to use on the back. I will use up scraps for the binding so this will be one scrappy quilt. I really do like it and hope DS does too. So then one day last week I went to a friends for a play day and we finished a project we planned a year or so ago. We each bought one of the "Laundry Basket Quilts" patterns, the Poinsettia and the Daffodils. Well here is my Daffodils, and my Poinsettia is still in the works. These are a lot of fun and go to gether pretty quickly, they are cut and paste, or fusible if you prefer. Now I have about 6 little wall hangings that I need to find time to quilt. Oh well, customers first. I have quite a few of those now so probably won't hear from me for a while. Have a Blessed Day.
