Small finishes and more


Do you remember this one?
It's finally quilted!



designed by Lori Smith
Block Size: 3 1/2" finish
Finish size: 20" x 16"

You won't see much of quilting
 in this piece as I just quilted
in the ditch to give a simple look.

To be honest with you, I just got 
totally lazy and couldn't think 
about any good  quilting plan, 
especially for the borders.


"Patriot Wreath" version of
"Primitive Pinwheels"
Fabrics: "Rural Jardin" and
"La Petite Ecole" by FG
Size: 17" sq

This one is also quilted :)


Just all over meandering free motion quilting.

I'm just happy to see 
they are both framed and look nice
sitting in the wine lounge :)))


And this is a pic of the back of them.


Fabric: Vtg. Sand Dune 40ct @LL
Fiber: called for

Now Ann Grant.

I'm finishing up the top part now.
I still need to fill some little things
here and there, but almost done doing that
in the area.


The above is Ann, nearly two weeks ago.

This picture of her looks closer to her real color.

I'm truly enjoying every minute of
stitching her with such pretty colors
regardless of her creases!! lol

Is there such thing - 
crease resistant or crease proof?

Now even more fun to tell you!

Deb at Thread Gather is hosting

Check it out!!


Ms. Limo: Mommy said 
we are going to take
 a blog vacation till
the weather gets cool down.

We may pop up every once in a while 
to say hi, but she won't blog
as much as she usually does
during the summer.

Our plans during the summer are
to go up to Ouray, CO later this month
 to enjoy the cooler climate there
and also making her to study 
extra triple hard for something 
she needs to get certified 
by the end of the year.

So everyone,
stay cool and enjoy your summer!

  6. I am such a fan of your little quilts. Enjoy your summer in cooler temperature - I have to say, I do not miss the hot Texas summers. Study hard, so you can get back to more quilting and stitching. Your Ann is stunning, by the way.

  7. I love your quilt finishes -- and especially how you frame them like that. They look so elegant! Love Ann Grant too -- she's looking good! Good luck with the certification. Hope you manage it with flying colors! Have fun in CO. Is Ms Limo going too? Did you survive the dust storm? Ugh!

  8. Lovely finishes. Never saw quilts framed, I do like the look of it. Also admired your actual quilting. I totally fail at that. Never come further then stitch in the ditch technique. But then again I'm not really advanced when it comes to quilting.
    LOVE your Ann Grant. She is so very very pretty

  9. I just love those small quilts in the frames. I saw that done years and years ago at an antique shop in California and never forgot how wonderful it looked. Never got around to doing one though. These are truly an inspiration!

    Enjoy your summer and have fun stitching and cooler weather. Colorado is a beautiful state. We have been to Colorado Springs many times and stayed at the historial Broadmoor Hotel. Lovely place and setting---have you been there?

    Thanks for sharing your stitchings!
