Retirement Quilt for Marge
Block number 4 of my Lucy Boston Patchwork of Crosses quilt.
I love how the fussy cutting makes the center stand out. I feel good about selecting the plaid fabric for the corners. The beige adds just enough texture to give interest. This block makes me smile.
Back to the Hexagon Grandmothers Flower Garden while I search for the fabric for number 5 of the Lucy Boston Patchwork of Crosses! Love EPP!
I am obsessed with Hexagons! Hexagons are all hand sewn. It is so much fun, love doing these. Both of these projects are made with quarter inch hexagons. First attempt using this size, seems so small.
Began making these items for Christmas Gifts. The most difficult part of the coin purse was adding the hardware. Goodness so fussy! But done and happy with the project.
Had to do one project for me! These are quarter inch Hexagons too! Could be a mug rug but right now it's a small Christmas decoration hanging on the wall. I used fusible hexie shapes on this project. Not happy with them and won't use them again. I prefer the paper hexes.
Been fun projects for November. Now back to the Lucy Boston and Grandmother's Flower Garden.
Merry Christmas!🎄
Finished block # 3 of my Lucy Boston Patchwork of Crosses Quilt. This one has green with an accent of red and gold.
When I make a quilt, I always have left over fabric. So how about a matching bag. What new mom does not need a bag or tote?
My church quilt group donates quilts to Casa Teresa, A Loving Home for Pregnant Women in Crisis . The "ducky quilt and bag" is my favorite. I hope the young mom will enjoy the quilt and the matching bag.
Block number two finished! Love using striped fabric. I really think that I love the "fussy cutting" portion of this block best. Beginning block # 3, thinking some green!
My first completed English Paper Piecing project. This topper will reside on the bookcase in my sewing room. Halloween theme would be great and I'm way ahead of time.
