Frame Rulers!

My goal at the Houston Quilt Show was to purchase rulers to use on my frame.  I love the look of ruler work on quilts.  So I bought rulers!!  Now I'm broke.....again!

Ruler Purchases

Now I need to learn to use them!  Hopefully December will see me loading quilts on the frame again.

Keep on Stitchin'!!

Mystery Quilt from QCA

And one more top finished!!!  This is the one from Quilter's Club of America, Mystery Quilt #9.  There will be no border on this quilt.

Mystery Quilt #9

I have to say, I thought I would NEVER get done putting those half square triangles together!  There were 500 some odd of those boogers!!!!!

Keep on Stitchin'!!

Christmas Star Strip Quilt

Here's another project that got left behind.  I worked on this one last week, too.  I only have one more border to do and it will be ready for quilting.  I will do a pieced border using 5" sampler squares.  Just a plain border using the squares.

Chicken Placemats

I started working on these ages ago!  Finally got them finished while visiting a friend in the Houston area over the last week or so.  We went to the Houston Quilt Show, as usual, and as usual, I spent more money than I intended to.  Oh well.....  We got a lot of sewing done, too!!
You may remember that I made a center piece in a class I took at my local quilt shop.  These chicken placemats are the rest of the table setting.  I will display these on my round breakfast table during the summer, I think.

Free Motioned a wing

Hard to see, but I free motioned a wing in the center of the placemat to help hold things in place.  This is the back of the placemat. I drew the placemats myself, so there is no pattern available.

Keep on Stitchin'!!
