Blessings Baskets

Standard

Thank you to Temecula Quilt Co. for this great pattern!  Presented during the month of March, it was a wonderful opportunity for me to get back to sewing small quilts.  I have a space on the wall in the kitchen which had a little Christmas quilt, back during December, and now I have a new one to take its place.  Gives me the ambition to get back to sewing little quilts, which I used to so enjoy!

I got started on the quilting of this on the weekend, practicing little tiny leaves on the sashings!

planning borders, My Whimsical Quilt Garden

Standard

 I decided to finally determine the borders for Whimsical Quilt Garden.  The original quilt designed by Piece O Cake showed many different random circles all over the border…at the time that I decided to make this quilt,I thought it was a fabric print, not appliqued circles!  I thought that these random circles just wouldn’t work with the fabric choices I made, so after debating many ideas, I decided to use the border on the cover quilt of Kim Diehl’s book Simple Traditions

There will be close to 60 circles to applique!  I figure I’ll keep a stack on the side table near to where I do my hand sewing,, and just sew one or two when I feel like it.  I’m in no hurry….knowing how its going to be finished was the important part right now!
