New Zealand fabrics

 This is another quilt for Project Linus.  I used leftovers from a liberty quilt to make it.

This Disappearing Pinwheel patch was made from fabric that my daughter brought me from 
  New  Zealand last fall.   Thank you, Anne!  I added the turquoise color.  The pattern is from
a Missouri Quilt Company tutorial. Very neat how it works out when you cut the pinwheel!

Sampler Quilt Cocoa Cups and Leaves

These are the cocoa cups and leaves rows for the Sampler Quilt that Debi and I are each working on together.  It's been fun doing this quilt.  Hope the rest of the rows are as easy to do!!!

We have been getting snow down here in North Texas!  The roads have been slippery, so I have tried to stay in and only go out if I have too.  Hoping that winter  leaves soon!!!

Button, Button, Whos' Got the Button?

Working on a new pattern---Thanks Debi for giving me the pattern!!  It's called Button Up and is available through here.  Her pattern is actually for sale on Etsy and is available in PDF file for downloading or as a paper pattern.

Each Fat Quarter makes 5 buttons.  Here are my first five.  They are really fun to do and go quickly.

 

Happy Quilting to you!!!

Debi and I are working on a Sampler Row by Row quilt from Lori Holt.  Her book is called "Quilty Fun"  I think she did this quilt as a pattern on her blog, too.  Here are what the rows look like.  It's very fun to do and no pressure because we aren't setting any deadlines!

Chevrons Quilt

This is a Chevrons quilt using Joel Dewberry Notting Hill Fat Quarters.  The pattern is on Moda Bake Shop.  I really like the colors in this one.  Sending to Project Linus.    It's a larger size (56" square) so I think some teenage girl will like this .

Life After the Flu....

Between the holidays and the flu-like bug, I have been remiss in posting-----sorry!  Hope to do better this year.

Maynard finally caught up with me and quilted all the quilts I had in the pile.  Here are pictures of them.  I made them so long ago that I don't remember the patterns anymore.

 Girly-Girl

 Yellow Brick Road

 There are 3 like this.  Also a YBR.

 

That wraps up the Project Linus quilts this year.  We made a total of 71 quilts and sent them to Project Linus who sent them to area hospitals.  Sure feels good.  We thank the good Lord that we were able to make them.

 

I hope your holidays were happy ones and Blessings in the New Year!

Down On The Farm Quilt and some Project Linus

This is  a quilt top called "Down on the Farm."  The pattern is from the Moda Bakeshop.  Up in the left hand corner is an elevator just like the one I remember from my hometown.  Here is a close-up

of the top part.  These were paper-pieced.  I set the Log Cabins in a furrows setting so it would resemble a field that is plowed and ready for planting.

Also here are some Project Linus quilts that we delivered to the drop off point in Lewisville.

 

We are finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel in catching up with the PL tops that needed quilting!  I think there are 3 left in the pile now.  But Maynard is working on the Batik quilt and then will do the Down on the Farm quilt.  I'll have to start making some more tops for PL now!

 

Attended two wonderful parties this last week.  They were so much fun!  Thanks to Jan A. and Debi for making them so wonderful!

 

 

How's the Christmas "doings" going for each of you?  I shopped on-line this year and loved it!  Makes it so easy to do.  The grandkids (with the help of their Moms) keep a wish list on Amazon and that makes it so nice to get something they really want!

 

Hope you all get something you want!
