Been Quilting!

I have another quilt finished!  Yeah!  This was one of those simple ones.  Didn’t take long and was so easy!

 

The pattern was from the December/January 2011 Quilt Magazine.  I used Fairfield 80/20 batting and Isafil thread.

 

Here is the back.  I used a meander design from Quilters Niche.

 

I got a box in the mail today from Shiisa Quilts.  They were having a great Cyber Monday sale that I couldn’t pass up!  Just a Christmas gift to me from the DH.  I will tell him later what he purchased me.  Don’t have time to post photos today but will tomorrow!

 

Hope you are having a great day!

Civil War Love Letters Quilt

By now I am sure everyone is getting ready for their Thanksgiving holiday meal.  I am no exception.  I have a couple of things to make for the family dinner tomorrow.  I am lucky that I don’t have to clean house because we are all going to my wonderful Mother In Laws for dinner.  So here is hoping you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving Day!
The title of this post is not about Thanksgiving though.  It is about a Civil War Love Letters quilt that I started probably 3 years ago.  It has been a UFO for quite some time.  But not anymore!  I started this quilt with the intentions of doing all 121 (6 1/2”) blocks from the Civil War Love Letters book.  If you haven’t heard of the book, check it out on Amazon or your local quilt shop may have it.  After 3 years in the UFO pile, I just couldn’t bring myself to do ALL those blocks.  I had around 40 already completed when I started working on the project again recently.  At 50 blocks, I decided this quilt needed to be done!  So using just 49 of the finished blocks, I completed this 75” x 75” quilt.  Lets just say that sashing can be a UFO’s best friend!  lol
I used an 80/20 batting, Isafil thread and a meander design from Quilters Niche.
  

Enjoy your Thanksgiving holiday!  And be sure to stay safe on the highways while traveling!

Another Finish!

I did get my Log Cabin quilt finished Friday night.  Yeah!! 

I used Hobbs 80/20 batting, a golden brown Isafil thread and the Just Curls design from Quilter's Niche.

The photos are NOT great!  Have you ever tried to get a quilt to lay on the back of a leather couch?  It isn't easy at all.  My language got a little rough before I finally just took the photo.

Is it just me or is blogger?  I had to upload my photos in my Picasa Web Album to get them uploaded to my blog.

Thanks for stopping by!  Hope you are having a great weekend!
