Christmas Quilt Embellishment


I am working on embellishing the appliqued Christmas quilt. I found some very cute plastic charms that I sewed down on the tree. I also added very cool red pompoms as garland.

Owls and more owls


I am designing a quilt top with the owls that I received in the Mary Lou Weidman owl swap. So far I have a tree designed with layers of owls. Not sure where I am going from here but ideas will come with time.

My Second Block

This is the beginning of block 6 in the Civil War Bride Quilt. It is my second block but it's the 6th one in the pattern book. This will have about 40 leaves or more on it before it's done.

Civil War Bride Quilt


I decided to start working on a 20 block appliqued quilt called the Civil War Bride Quilt. I have completed one block, well almost one, I still have to do the feet. I chose to do this on a lightly polka dotta background. This is going to be a long on going project. I predict at least a year and that's if I don't get bored and give up.








This is what the completed quilt will look like except mine will be on a golden background and a little brighter fabrics.
