Finally Finished

Whew!!!
Finally finished the latest pillow/cushion on Quilt Shop Gal's freemotion quilt challenge for April
to see the finished pillow and view the process check out the Pillow Talk tab above.


Pillows are not all though I actually went through all the drawers in the chest I use in the sewing room, amazing how much stuff just gets stuffed away.

Still waiting is a cuddle quilt for our guild, and I am currently working on a BOM at the guild too.

Slowly I will get it done this month.  Of course red is my new black.

Thanks for visiting.  Geri

Spring is here

Spring has arrived although we are expecting rain over the weekend.  Pretty standard for us Easter almost always has weather.  After that we can plan on pretty nice weather although we need rain BADLY.

My lilacs are in bloom and the butterflies are busy which inspired me to make up this little wall hanging.




It is a challenge to figure out a design for 1" sashing but the little flower and leaf vine worked well.  On the borders the celtic circles one of Diane Gaudynski's designs worked very well although there are a lot of starts and stops as each spiral begins in the center and works out.  Over all kind of fun to do.

Next up is to design another pillow for April.  This has been a fun experience and challenging.  To join this Linky party go to www.quiltshopgal.com 

Until next time have a great weekend.
