Miscellaneous Quilts...............













First two quilts are for Project Linus and the first one is called "The Electric Blue Chicken." I didn't realize that the color blue I had picked out was so bright until I was actually sewing them up. Hoping that some kid will think it's cute!


The second quilt I called simply "Fall Leaves." It reminds me of Fall. Oh, that it would be fall and all this hot weather would be behind us!. Just a few more weeks to go and my wish will come true!


The last two pictures show one quilt---right-side up and wrong side up, guess you pick which ever side you want to be the right side! This was a Karen Combs pattern. I didn't pick the colors with enough contrast for the yellow one, so it doesn't show up as well as the others. It was easy enough to piece, but my color choosing could have been a bit better, I think!

Going to the Plano, Texas Quilt Show with BFF Debi on Friday. Should be fun to see the quilts and the vendors-I hope there are some good ones!

Two Quilts




These are two quilts that I just finished for Project Linus.

The first one is "Red, Red Roses" and is, I think, the Easy Peasy pattern. The blocks are 16" and it goes together very easily. It's been awhile since I made it and I just can't remember the name of the pattern for sure---guess I need to write all these things down---then I would probably forget where I put the list---LOL!!

The second one is called "Amy Butler Bold." It uses 6 fat quarters of her fabric and is very bright and colorful! I hope it finds some child who really likes bold things!!!!!

It has cooled down for our part of the country---temps in the 40's at night and 60-low 70's in the day----nice fall weather. We had some rain too and that is nice.

We planted winter pansies. They last most of the winter and it is so fun to see their bright, shining faces sometimes through the snow!
