We had our wool ornament meeting last week and this was the bird:


So beautiful! It really makes a great Christmas ornament with the beads and the bow...

I quilted a flannel quilt, quite big this time and beautiful!
I like how she put the fabric to create a diagonal design...

I was working on a sample and needed to make 168 Flying Geese blocks!!
I decided to have a little template made to the size of the Unfinished Block, what a great help!!
You could put some sand paper dots to grip on the fabric...
I decided to have some different sizes templates made as it really was a great help and they are not to expensive so... Check out the website and if there is a size you need but can't find, let us know, we will have it made for you...

Here are Irene's quilts I quilted
I really love to custom quilt a quilt, it's so beautiful!


It's hard to see on the picture but O did some feathers, my favorite and some curved cross hatching
In the center I just did lines following the fabric  design and in the center center I did cross hatching on the diagonal, just beautiful!

 

And she made also this little one on which I did a tiny meandering

We got new fabrics from Betsy Chutchian with Moda, can't wait to play with them!

Wow, December is going fast, already mid month!
Here are some quilts that I quilted lately:

 I was invited to a Christmas party organized by my friend Lisa, and here is her work in progress:
Amazing 1/2" hexies!!! Beautiful!

A Lucy Boston quilt I quilted, stunning! Patti did such a great job!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Because today is a special day, I want to let you know that I appreciate you all every single day. I am so grateful to have friends and a family I love.

I went to listen to a talk given by Eva Schloss, a World War II survivor, she was Anne Frank's neighbor when she lived in the Netherlands and has been deported to Auschwitz. She survived!
And she is so positive! It was very nice!

Here is another quilt I designed: We have the pattern with the template. It is not just any triangle, it has a specific angle! A reproduction of an antique quilt I own... I called it Cassandra Triangle quilt...

I love to read but dont have much time. So I listen to books! Not quite the same but better than nothing... And I just finished listening to Where the Crawdads sing, loved it!

Last weekend I broke a toe, not fun and boy that hurts!
