Flannel Log Cabin Throw

Made with the leftovers from the big flannel log cabin quilt.  I planned to give it away for Christmas... but Larry liked it so much and was so sad about it, I changed my mind, and when it was done, I crept into the living room and covered him with it as he slept.  (It's too small for him... but he likes it anyway.)


Printed Panel Quilt for Baby Lyle

This blanket for Baby Lyle is ‘cheat cloth’, with a teddy bear design printed on the fabric, so that there is no piecing.  It didn't take long before I was putting the ‘sandwich’ together.  I bought some fabric for the wide, mitered, blue-check binding at our LQS, Sew What, and had an enjoyable visit with my old school friend, Jo, who owns the place.  I used Hester’s sewing machine, on the kitchen table, hoping to get it running better for her (and then she’ll leave it sit idle for another 20 years, don’t you know, and it’ll freeze up just as bad or worse than it was this time).

Hester's Forest and Maroon Quilt and Pillows

I originally sewed these 16-patch blocks together planning to make large potholders for gifts for Christmas:


But they were so pretty together, they just didn't want to be separated!  So I put them together as a queen-sized quilt for Hester.  This was taken August 5th:


Thought I'd try out somebody's method of lopping part of the quilt up over my shoulder as I quilted in my itty-bitty office.  But Victoria came along about then, and of course I had to entertain her.

Quilt attack!


Yeah, Victoria has the camera, and is every bit as snaphappy as I am.  😅

Ethan's Kite Blanket

I had a bit of that soft Egyptian cotton left, and some of the silky polyester, too.  Sooo... I made Ethan a blanket.

Teddy and Amy's Egyptian Cotton Blanket



The Egyptian cotton I had wasn't wide enough, so I connected two long lengths with the flatlock on my serger.
