Quilt News from the valley!

Where cooler temperatures and rain off and on sums up the weather here. 

Last week I got 4 of my quilts back from Lorna, at Front Porch Quilts in Buckley, WA. She finished the machine quilting and I was pleased with the results. Then I hustled and sewed binding onto 3 of the quilts. There is just one more to bind, my Squares on Point Medallion with Nine Patch borders quilt, yes, it's smaller. 

The Sampler Quilt, the Medallion HST Study in Red and my Squares on Point Medallion with Nine Patch Borders are quilt study projects I pieced together as I was going through Liberated Quiltmaking 2, by the late Gwen Marston. I learned so much going through her book and stitching up projects using her liberated method!

My Color Squares Quilt was inspired by a small runner size quilt I saw in a Connecting Threads catalogue about 5 yr.s ago, its background was black and the squares were smaller. I have made three quilts of different sizes, using this basic design with a white background, this the biggest and is the fourth.

Sashiko.Lab currently has a stitch along going on, 24 Days of Sashiko. I am stitching along using pink linen as the base fabric and DMC cotton thread, four strands. Maybe I'll use the stitching to make Christmas ornaments. I have finished the first square and will keep going at my own speed!

Have you started planning Christmas ornament projects yet?

And that Quilt Friends is the quilt news. 

Remembering to be thankful and I'll be by to visit!
