Friends at the Fence...
It is quilted, bound and up on the wall
in our living room...
Friends at the Fence
This horse panel is surrounded with
english paper pieced hexagons...
I love paper piecing and it was fun
to incorporate that into the
edge treatment on this quilt...
This image reminds me of looking out
the kitchen window to see our own horses
looking back at me over the yard fence...
Close-Up views of the Hexagons:
Top left border corner...
Bottom left border corner...
Bottom right border corner...
Top right border corner...
It grabs my attention every time I walk through
the room...I can almost hear the horses
whinny at me.

Baby Nines....Quilted & Bound
The Baby Nines Quilt is....DONE !
I machine quilted daisies all over...
I just kind of made this design up
as I went along....it was great FUN !
I had this lavender binding cut out
a few years ago and never used it...
it works nicely on this baby quilt.
How about that PINK backing...
This is a gift for our tractor mechanic...
He has been coming out to our place for
a few weeks now working on my
red tractor (it blew up last hay season)...
His baby is due any day
and the baby quilt is ready to go !

Poppies Quilt...
The binding is stitched in place
and the Poppies Quilt is on our bed !
It is definitely Spring here in Western Oregon
and the flowers are beginning to bloom,
even the ones on our bed !
I absolutely loved this line of fabric
and just had to make a quilt with it...
The center Poppy panel is so beautiful...
I kept the outer borders white so there
would be no distraction from the
center of the quilt...
This quilt brightens up our room...
Makes me happy every time I walk
in the room...
Machine Quilting...Close-Up views
Nothing like sleeping under a
hand made quilt.

Medallion Star Quilt...DONE !
The last time I posted this quilt
it was still on the design wall...
I was just finishing up the borders...
Today the machine quilting is complete
and I am in the binding stage...
I always use my trusty Folgers can to hold my
binding while I am at the machine...
I can't live without my clips
to hold down the folded edge of the binding...
I recently made a few of these Clam Up pouches
to hold my binding clips...
The pouches open wide and it is easy
to get the clips in and out while I am working...
Machine Quilting Close Ups:
I used a C fill for the center of the quilt...
A curly feather for the pieced border
that surrounds the center medallion star...
C fill again in the small stars area of the quilt...
The final border on the right side,
I used my straight ruler and did
some crosshatch grid quilting...
This is a queen size bed quilt 90 x 90 inches
It is a holiday gift
and nothing gets things done like...
a deadline !
The label is sewn to the back side...
Need to find a box and get this wrapped
and under the tree...
Believe it or not,
I still have one more quilt to finish up...yikes !

Christmas Quilts...
I spent this week finishing up the
Christmas Quilts
I began in January of this year...
Time to trim off the rough edges...
The binding is ready to go...
I do most of my bindings by machine...
Large scale quilting...I love it !
Back side of binding...
Just need to get the label sewn on...
Ta-Done !
The Vintage Christmas quilt
is machine quilted...
Love those swirls and snowflakes...
Trimming off the rough edges...
The binding is pieced, pressed and ready
to stitch in place...
The red binding works nicely...
The label is sewn to the back and
it is ready to go !
So happy to have these done and ready
for two very special people.
I will give them at Thanksgiving
and they can sleep under them the whole
month of December.....FUN !
