I dropped my one block in the mail to Marianne today, from Dallas.  I look forward to seeing the finished product!

Here is one double 9 to enter.  I love this block, but no time to make more because trying to finish quilting my entry for the Dallas Quilt Show in...

Finally had a chance to make a block for the Lotto.  Unfortunately I failed to read the color directions because I was struggling so much with the paper piecing, so just grabbed some scraps in my sewing room (I used red but do not have a white-backed fabric.).  I’m donating this anyway, so Sophie you can add this to the winner if they want it.  I think it is in the “spirit” of the block.  I’ll “read twice, cut...

For those of us who have enjoyed the house blocks on this site over the years, I thought I would mention that the newest issue of Quiltmaker features quilts with house blocks of various types. There is a nice 2-story house with gables designed by lori Holt, and a traditional house block combined with an Irish chain.  you may enjoy browsing it at your nearest magazine stand. [added by Sophie] Linda made me go looking online for images. I found...

This will make 8 to donate for the month.  These were...

These were blocks from 2011 or 2012, and I’ve posted pictures before as it was a work in progress. Now it’s quilted and bound, so I thought I would share the finished quilt.  Thanks to all who made the squares!   (that’s our new cat Nick sitting on the quilt)....

 I used method 2, which is pretty easy.  A couple of the white corners are a little “shy” so I will replace them before mailing.  I think the photo is a little over exposed, because the colors are a little brighter in person.  These are to donate.  (sorry about the 2 yellow prints together; I didn’t visualize how it would work together until I made the first one. Linda from...

I have Chevrons all tucked away in their envelopes and I’m on the way to the post office to mail to Marie and Shelley. Gorgeous day here in Dallas – clear and sunny, probably in the 70s! After lunch, headed to a choir practice for Mendelssohn’s Elijah. Sorry these are so late – I hosted a book group and had to hide all my quilt clutter and it took me awhile to find where I had hidden them! Hoping to get back to making a...

This is a work in progress shot of my “mini” quilt (about 24×18) for our Guild’s mini quilt auction in March benefitting the Children’s Craniofacial Foundation. I used Sophie’s birds and added hearts to make “Love Birds.” I have a book that shows sort of modern patterns for free motion quilting, and I used the basic swirl pattern along with a lot of echoing the patterns.  The first hour or two were...

  The Dallas quilt guild will be having its annual Quilt Show in early March, and we have a mini quilt auction to benefit a charity.  This year it is the Children’s Craniofacial Foundation, which provides medical care and support for children and their families who were born with facial and head abnormalities. I had some extra hearts left over from my “row” quilt, and everyone liked the tall birds, so I thought this would be a...

this is my tentative fabric selection for the mod mod qal.  I’m thinking of the throw size.  My son and DIL like neutrals, so I hope this will work.  I may need an accent color; perhaps a dull mustard...

Many thanks for the eclipse blocks win several years ago.  I finally got these re-sized and sewn together at this weekend’s quilt retreat.  Next stop the long arm...
