What I'm Quilting Now

[Maxine in Oregon]

Gorgeous! The colors look so rich together.. good job

 

[Patchouli]

Unusual prints and colors, @LadyLocust and I love it! Looking forward to seeing the finished product.
@phideaux your wife has amazing skill. I hope her quilts all are well taken care of and loved by many.

Just finished block 6 of twin size cross stitch quilt to be for Christmas.
Will put the sashing strips and border on tomorrow.
Hopefully will get the batting and backing pinned on by the weekend.
Then will do something like Mrs. phideaux to hold it all together.
Then the binding.

The powers that be will have do it I think.
I couldn't get them to download at all.
And neither could my oldest son.

She is making several of the baby quilts for great grand babies that , most likely, we won't live to see.
My oldest grand son is 18.

I'm not a quilter but my wife is. Hope it's okay to share her work with you.

Here's her latest (fresh from the wash), made out of denim from old jeans and left over scraps and squares from other projects.

Very nice quilt Fireman but take the link off and just tell us to click on picture ,that worked for me,not the link.

 

[CalicoKatie]

Love it! That's a great way to use up those old jeans and scraps. Thanks for posting the picture for us.

 

[LadyLocust]

Nice! Denim quilts are warm (I'm always cold so know that well - heehee)

 

[LadyLocust]

Finally got the top finished. It’s folded in forths so I could get a picture. It will have dark binding after quilting.

Beautiful quilt top Lady Locust.
Thanks for showing the denim quilt Fireman 13.
Nice work.

 

[CalicoKatie]

That is really beautiful! It goes perfectly with the area rug in your picture.

 

[LadyLocust]

@phideaux Jim, you mentioned Mrs. finished- picture?

She did put it aside for awhile ,
She finished it this week, laundry yesterday, just got it dried off the rack .

You really have to spread
/enlarge it to see the detail work. I counted the stitches ..yeah right, must be a couple bazillion.

[LadyLocust]

Pat her on the back for me - that’s stunning!

Your wife does such beautiful work that I envy and I KNOW she does all this by hand!! It just amazes me on how accurate her stitching is. I could only wish. . . that is true craftsmanship and a true artisan!! I rely on my machine and my color choices to make nice looking quilts.

 

[LadyLocust]

Think I am on block 24 of 63 quilting my first quilt from 25+ years ago.
Took a wee bit o' time to quilt a block for a donation - to be raffle quilt fund raiser. Nearly finished then will attempt to take a pix.

 

[LadyLocust]

On block 27 or 28??? of 63. Might sound silly, but I'm excited to be almost 1/2 way done after so many years.

 

[Amish Heart]

Love that white quilt!

 

[LadyLocust]

Had to take another break from my quilt I’ve been working on because some young friends are expecting their first baby in September. Got a baby quilt made and am quilting on it. Binding is cut and sewn so I just need to keep quilting then will get back to my quilt. Think it’s past the halfway point. Here’s the baby quilt.
