This quilt is a Block of the Month from Primitive Gatherings.  It's called "Where the Cows Come Home."  The applique is wool. Wool applique is fun to do.  I just love the name of the quilt.

Two Different Log Cabins

These Log Cabins quilt tops show two of the many ways that you can set Log Cabin blocks.  These are small quilt tops and will go to Project Linus after they are quilted and bound.  Sorry, I don't know the names of the settings.  I think the second one might be called "Furrows."  The strips were cut from a layer cake.

Attic Windows Panel

This pattern comes from a tutorial by Missouri Star Quilt Company.  It is called Attic Windows with a panel.  The picture makes it look like it is bigger on the bottom, but it is all the same size.  Camera distortion, I guess.  Or maybe camera operator distortion!!!!!

Three for Project Linus

This one is called "Basic Math" and is from the Moda Bake Shop. There is a rhyme and reason to the layout, but it is very very hard to tell..  It was made from a layer cake called Mixology.  Still needs to be quilted.

This next one is a` pinwheel pattern and is fun to do.  It's a Fons  and Porter pattern. It's quilted and ready to go.

This one is a panel.  I think some little girl will like this one.  This one is also quilted and ready to go.

Redwork Sampler

 Finished the redwork sampler with a piano key border.  I was over a year embroidering the blocks----I only worked on them during our Sit and Sew meetings on Tuesdays. Now I need to find something else to do for handwork!!!  The pattern is from Red Brolly, a New Zealand company.

This is one of the blocks.  There's also chickens and pigs and "Fresh Eggs."  Lots of fun!

Farm Girl Vintage

The top quilt is very pink, isn't it?  Just right for a little girl.  It is a Yellow Brick Road pattern.

The second quilt is Farm Girl Vintage from Lori Holt's book of the same name.  These were very fun to do and are quite small  6.5 inches with lots of little pieces for each block.

Two quilts for Project Linus

 This pink quilt is one of two that are the same.  Fun and easy to do.

This is Bricks and Stepping Stones from Bonnie Hunter's website, Quiltville.  She has wonderful patterns and ideas on her website.  Both quilts will go to Project Linus.  This quilt uses up the last of 400    3.5" x 6.5" rectangles that were given to each of  the members of the DFW Gang to use in quilts.  I have 8 rectangles left over!

two quilts and a block

 This is the third block in the turning twenty block of the Month (really twice monthly)  They are all stars.

 New look on Courtyard pattern.  Instead of using white or off-white for sashing, I used red.  Makes it very bright and gives a cheerful feel to it.

This little quilt is another Yellow Brick Road and will go to Project Linus.

This was a very easy pattern to do and fun because it went so fast!!!!  Pattern is from Craftsy and is called Easy Fat Quarter Cot Quilt.  It is free!  Going to make several of these since it uses just 6 fat quarters.  I have lots of packs of 6 fat quarters!!!!  Next time, I'll plan the placement of colors a little better!!!!

Second Skateboard Quilt

  This is my second Skateboard quilt.  So much fun putting these together.  Thanks to my dear friend Debi for giving me the 3.5" x 6.5" squares.  This pattern is in the last issue of BLOCK Magazine put out by the Missouri Quilt Company.  This is a great magazine with no ads in it and each time (every other month) you get 10 patterns.  They are great patterns.  I'm really excited to be planning a trip to Missouri Quilt Company in Hamilton, Missouri sometime this summer.

.  From what I have read, they have 6 quilt shops open in downtown Hamilton.  There may be more, since I think they opened up 2 more just last week.  Can you tell I am excited??!!!

This quilt will go to Project Linus.

Courtyard Quilt

Courtyard quilt is a free pattern from Cloud 9 fabrics.  I used up all my leftover Joel Dewberry fabrics from a couple of quilts I did this Spring.  Felt good to empty out a box!  Now on to the next project!  My friend, Debi gave me a bag with 400+   3.5" x 6.5" rectangles of fabric.  I already used some  in the skateboard quilt I made last week.  think I will try Bonnie Hunter's pattern "Lozenges" and use some of them up!!!

Musical Notes Quiltets

 
 Got this pattern and holder in Houston last fall.  I like classical music and thought this  was a good pattern to show that.

We are having rain and lots of it here in North Texas.   Finally having sunshine the last 2 days.  Many roads are still closed.  I feel so sorry for the people who have flooding of their homes and businesses.

Skateboards

I finished the skateboard quilt.  It is in the latest copy of BLOCK magazine. Thanks Debi for the fabric rectangles!!  She gave away bags of over 400 pieces of fabric cut in to 3.5 x 6.5 inches. Since the rectangles were a different size than the ones in the pattern, I had to re-size the other pieces so everything fit together.  Good challenge for my brain!!!!  This one will go to
