Hello Again!

Life gets busy and blogging falls by the wayside. I haven't been too busy for quilting though! Over the next while, I will endeavour to catch you up with some of the projects I've been working on.

Woodland Animals reveal! I began this quilt as a way to use up a panel that I'd purchased some 10 or 15 years ago. Save the background fabric, I used fabric that I had on hand, from my stash. The quilt is much larger than I had intended. - a generous throw, almost twin size! The flannels make it extra cozy!

I made the backing by piecing leftover bits and pieces. In some ways, I like it better than the front. 

The label includes a tribute to our dear doggie Piper who passed away last fall. She was a treasure, a true blessing, a friend, who kept me company as I made my quilts and in life.

Little sheep is losing her stuffing...

First up tonight was to fix up little sheep who was losing her stuffing. Sheep belongs to my daughter and was a gift from a special friend. All sewn up, she is now ready to be tied back onto my daughter's backpack and off to school in the morning.

Every year our guild makes placemats to be given to the clients of Meals on Wheels.

The orphan tree block was the inspiration for the placemat. I pulled the bright and cheery colours to make it placemat size. Feeling playful, I added the fork and spoon fabric to the top and bottom, in keeping with the theme.

I brought some extra curved log cabin blocks to Gail's to make another placemat. Gail put the blocks together and quilted it. I finished off the binding. And voila! Another placemat lickety-split! 

This year the guild is making stockings for the women's shelter. We are making 300. They are to be filled with toiletries.  I will be handing these four in this week.

I have started binding the "Woodland Animals" quilt. Cathy did a fabulous job with the quilting.

I will do a big reveal when it is all done!
