Happy Valentine's Day

  A Heart filled with small blocks was begun in January 2020 and completed in January 2023!  Wahoo, a UFO (unfinished object ) completed!  The blocks are 3 inches completed, love tiny blocks. The patterns for the blocks were posted on Temecula Quilt Company Facebook page. 



It's a small table topper made with small bits of red, pink and a cute pink and white background.

Lucy Boston Patchwork of Crosses #8

 

Block number eight with a few more to go.... 


 Lucy Boston Patchwork of Crosses block #8 is complete!  The tones of this block remind me of fall.  Fall is my very favorite season.  Love the colors and the all the leaves.  I feel that the fabrics I chose for this block remind me of the textures of leaves and the colors too.  Really like the swirls in the  center of the block.  Now onto block #9!

Charity Quilts

 Having so much fun working on Charity Quilts!  I purchased the Creative Grids Pineapple ruler and have made two quilts, one with 30's fabric and another with blue fabrics.





This quilt will be donated to Casa Teresa, a home for unwed mothers.  Love the teddy bear back!  Just too cute.


This quilt is made with the same ruler. Amazing right?  Love this pattern!  It will be a Prayer Quilt for a friends mother.  Already have red strips cut for a red and white quilt.

Love Scrappy Quilts




I love scrappy quilts and hexagons!  So a combination of the two is just grand!  Nancy is a very special retired lady who has dedicated her life to education!  She just needed a special quilt.

Still working on my Grandma Maggie's hexagon flower garden and my Lucy Boston Patchwork of crosses!  Just because I didn't have enough projects going I started this table topper using 3/4" hexagons!
With some embroidered daisy flowers!

Hexagon Pumpkin

 


Just a fun pumpkin rug mug to begin the season.  Fun small project that was quickly done.  I love polka dots, but I should have chosen a different fabric for the center of the pumpkin.  The print is too large, oh well,  I'll just have to make another one!

Lucy Boston Patchwork of Crosses #7

This is my forever quilt.... Just completed block number 7 of my Lucy Boston Patchwork of Crosses!


 I love to fussy cut fabrics for the centers!  Each of the blocks is so different and I will look long and hard for the fabric that will join the blocks together.  But for now, there is no rush....this is number 7 of the 20 blocks I am making!  Goodness there are a lot more to go.

Until next time I will be working on my Grandma Maggie Flower Garden quilt.

Dilly Flower Hexagon Table Topper

 Just completed this Patriotic Dilly Flower table topper!  Whew, just in time for the July 4th Celebration! Cute little Gnome makes me smile!


The hexagon pedals were first stitched to the background fabric pieces.  Loved using a variety of fabrics.


Connecting the seven connected Dilly Flowers together made this topper.  The most difficult part was doing the binding!  Goodness those inward points were a challenge.  White centered hexagon do not do well with white background.  So, I purchased flag buttons at Hobby Lobby and attached them to the center.  Much better!





This project is the creation of Elise Baek https://www.elisebaek.com The templates and hexie papers were a Mother's Day gift from daughter Linda!  
This was an amazing project!  Loving the table topper!

Lucy Boston #6

 The fabric I used for the center of this Lucy Boston Patchwork of Crosses was perfect!  The combination of blue and gold made the center amazing.  I love "fussy cutting" the elongated one inch hexagons!  


The elongated hexagons are sometimes called Honeycombs.  Every piece of fabric presents a new way to "fussy cut".  I have the feeling that this quilt will be my Forever Quilt.
