First time I tried Needle Turning. I like it, and will try to do more of it later on.

Block 61 -  Traveler


This one is fun and rather easy. I love the effect. I had cut out the pieces and put them aside to take to a stitching day. When I started to put it together, I had forgotten what I had planned. The strips where to be in the middle. Oh well, next time.

B's quilt from her Grandmother

Almost two years in the making and it is now finished and gifted.

Here we have back from the quilters and getting the binding started. I am going to get a walking foot though as my machine does not seem to do a very even seam when it is this thick.


Tacking down the binding.


A couple of extras that I put together from the leftovers in making the quilt.


Here is B after being given the quilt, She was cuddled into it for as long as she was here.




and then her and J spend an evening in front of a movie, I know she loves it.
