Say It Loud


I am still working on catching up on the Eleanor Burns Quilt of the Month.  Have finished constructing the May pattern "Girl's Best Friend".  I am calling this one "Say It Loud". 



It is not quilted yet since I had to order some thread for this one.  I am quite pleased with how it is turning out.


This is the March pattern, "Piece of Cake".  It was quilted with Isacord 24 karat gold thread with Warm and Natural batting using a bubble pattern.


It is not one of my favorites maybe because it is too subtle for my taste.  I like a little bolder fabric.


Then there is the newest addition to the family.........


A female Irish Wolfhound puppy which we have named Ziza.  She is 10 weeks old and weighs 22 pounds!!!

Hole In the Wall

Sure am glad to be back home.  Woo Hoo ....... sold a quilt.  It was the I've Got a Hex on You quilt so I guess that makes it official, I am a business!

Am working on catching up on the Eleanor Burns Quilt of the Month.  This was the February pattern called Hole In the Wall.  The front was done with a fat quarter set that I got from Joann's a while back. 



Used Isacord 24K Gold thread for the front, Superior Magna-Glide Brunette thread for the back, Warm and Natural batting with the pantograph Tickle.


I am getting to really like the pieced backs.  They add interest to the quilt and help to keep the scrap bucket empty!
