It's been too long since I've posted.
Not having any blog hops anymore decreases my incentive to get on this blog....
I do have some finishes to share.
Sarah and her dad

I made table runners for both of our daughters for Christmas using jelly rolls. I don't remember the name of the pattern.
I finished the Santa Fe Trip Tych for which I had bought the patterns from Santa Fe Quilting in January, 2024. It was a block of the month for them some years ago with 13 patterns in all. I love this! (even if I do say so myself). I put it in the Salt Creek Patchmakers Quilt Show last month and won a 3rd place. :)
This is a Suzanne Marshall pattern from one of her books. I started the needle turn applique years ago, made myself finish the applique a year or so ago, and finally quilted it this winter. I wasn't keen on filling in the outside so left it with the straight lines. Perhaps more quilting would eliminate that puckery look...
Pat Sloan's Stringbean quilt pattern--I made some of the blocks in Arizona and finished it after we got home. It uses jelly rolls and I also used some coordinating yardage I had. The jelly roll and yardage are Sandy Gervais designs.
I bought this pattern and fabric at Santa Fe Quilting too. Both table runner patterns are in the pattern. I don't remember the name--I'm not home as I write this so can't look it up. I used ruler work to do all the quilting on these.
This one is called Grand Central. I bought the fabric and pattern 3 or 4 years ago at Threads of Time in Danville during one of our retreats. I put the top together right away and then it sat for a while until I sandwiched it, after which it sat another while. It was time to get it quilted! Now it's done and on our guest bed.
One more--this is called Color Love and it is made using the Sew Kind of Wonderful mini curve ruler. I decided to quilt it with a concentric circle all the way out. It's a wall hanging--about 42 x 42".
I have another quilt top sandwiched and ready to quilt. When I get home, I will get after that one. It uses Tim Holtz fabrics.
Now to end with sweet 3 year old Sydney. She is a delight (so are the other 5 older grands) with so much energy and joy!
