I finished this quilt. I struggled to get a nice photo that would showcase all the fancy quilting I did on it. It measures 52 x 70. It is a 3 - Yard quilt design by Fabric Cafe.

This project was a teaching moment with Angela Walters. She shared weekly online instructions for all the fancy quilting on this panel. I added borders to make it a comfy size 64 x 73. You can still view the lessons on her you.tube channel (628) Angela Walters - YouTube , Of course, I used the beautiful Glide threads on the top and Signature Bottom Line in the bobbin.
I wish the quilting showed up better in photos. It is heavily quilted with thread colors that blend but still turned out very soft and lovely. That dreaded center crease shows up so well because I had it folded too long and it hasn't been laundered yet.

Just a quick post today. I think I'm caught up with this years RSC project. I only started one new RSC project this year, due to the many from each of the past several years that are still waiting to become tops.
Sharing the lovely aquas today .......... one of my favorite colors
I'm linking up with Soscrappy today and Oh Scrap on Sunday. Be sure to visit those sites to see what other creative quilters are sharing.

This was a quilt along (last year?) .... quilting a block a day for a full year, ending May 2020. It was provided by Natalia Bonner of Piece and Quilt.com. When you do all the blocks, it made 7 quilts. I did them all ! I won this panel from Piece and Quilt. I made most of my panels and enlarged them with borders. I stitched this panel last year and set it aside waiting for quilting inspiration for the final border , as it is 10 inches wide.
So now it is finished. I wanted to keep the design in the border to coincide with the styles in the blocks, which were all done with rulers, so I kept to straight lines for the border. I tried to keep it suitable for a male. I gift most of my quilts, since I make so many and it's difficult to make them male friendly. The border fabric is same as the backing, which was a wide back fabric. The quilt measures 65 x 75 with a double layer of cotton batting.

I spent today sewing some blocks for my RSC21 project. Today it was the purple bin. I made my 5 half log cabin blocks (a design created by Cynthia of Quilting is More Fun Than Housework . I couldn't see the sense of returning small scraps back into the bin, so I made 8 crumb blocks. These will be the centers of future quilts.
I made an autumn tablerunner and wall banner last week, finished the binding this morning. This project was 100% inspired by Vicki of knitbug2 . Thank you, Vicki, for showcasing your creative ideas to help motivate our journey. You can also visit her Etsy shop for lovely seasonal patterns
I made this banner design into a tablerunner by placing a banner on each end and a center block to separate the two. It finished at 12" x 64". The appliques are top stitched down and FMQ in the piecing.
I used a pretty print by Kansas Troubles for the backing, cotton batt & gold Glide thread for the stitching,
Here is the banner finishing at 12" x 26 " .

This quilt began by pulling a print fabric from stash that I wanted to use up; pull 2 other fabrics to compliment the print................. then hunt for a pattern. I chose this pattern called Pink Picture Frame.
WoodValleyDesigns for Pink Picture Frame pattern
and Free Patterns (woodvalleydesigns.com) for a large selection of free patterns.
I added an extra border to use up the fabric , so my quilt finished at 53 x 62; a lovely throw size for a sofa. I quilted it with navy glide thread and gold glide thread on top. Each round was quilted with a different design to vary the fun a bit. This is part of the 3-Yard quilts challenge started by Mary Johnson of Heartstrings. You will also find her many wonderful free patterns here in the right sidebar:

This is a design by Gudrun Erla of GEQuiltDesigns.com. She offered this pattern for a minimal fee for a quilt along last year. The monies raised were given to local chairities in her area during the pandemic.
It had been sandwiched for awhile and recently I quilted it on my Janome sit-down. I used a special westalee template and quilted the honeycomb design in the blocks and straight line grid in the sashing and outer border. I used gray Glide thread on top and gray bottom line in the bobbin. It turned out nice and soft flowing.

I can't believe I've reached the end of this monthly project. Since my project is a miniature with 3 inch blocks (the original at For The Love Of Geese is full size blocks ), there is alot of small seams. I do not have any quilting ideas for it at this time. I hate when that happens.! I've reached out to Denise for quilting suggestions. I'm sure she will have some creative ideas to share.
So here is my Tree of Life flimsy. A quick measurement is 35 inches. I had some issues with identifying fabric colors in the chart provided... blaming some of that on their technical names and some on looking through a computer monitor. All in all, I am very happy with the results. When finished, I think it will take its turn hanging over my mantle.
Thank you, Denise, for leading us on with this project. I'm sure there are still other quilters working on their blocks. I'm gladly joining these linky parties this week. Be sure to visit them to see what other creative quilters are sharing.

In keeping up (almost) with the monthly tablescraps runner challenge with Joy at The Joyful Quilter, I rummaged thru my box/s of autumn fabrics and pulled 3 for a quick table mat. I'm not thrilled with the result which should be a lesson that it doesn't pay to hurry quilting creativity.
In any event, here is my fall candle mat. It measures 14 inches across. I used a 60 degree ruler to cut the wedges. I quilted it with Glide gold thread (my fav) and used a single fold binding.
I will gift it to someone and if they don't like the front, they can always use the back side.....
I'm joining the linky party with Joy this weekend. You can see all the lovely challenge tablescraps runners all this weekend at The Joyful Quilter .

We are nearing the end of piecing this project. One more month to go, then time to assemble, assemble, assemble. I am making it in miniature. What better reason to paper piece than to make a miniature? This fine project is the creation of Denise from For the Love of Geese site.
And so here are my June blocks. They don't look so exciting all alone, do they?
