I've been busy!

I have been really busy doing some quilting.....Here is a Christmas table runner that I pieced a while back and I am just now getting it quilted.

Here is another look closer up.


This is another table runner that was also made a while back and is just now getting quilted. I pinned it up on the design wall to get the picture.


The following is a project I've been working on while watching TV. This free pattern is from Val Laird. She made a table runner, but I decided to make it into a small wall hanging. The hand embroidery is done in only four colors -- two shades of purple, yellow, and green. I have really come to enjoy hand embroidery -- great TV work!



Here are a couple of close-up shots at the blocks. They were so fun to stitch.


Here is a picture of my Bunny Hill BOM on the quilting machine. This was one of the funnest (yes! that is a word!) that I've made in a long time.



Here is a close-up of the November block -- isn't that squirrel cute???

This is a baby quilt that I put together recently and I have it loaded on the quilting machine. I decided to practice my feathers and they look like BUTT FEATHERS! Yep, I said butt feathers -- a new original design -- 'cause they look just like big ole butts! LOL

Well, I'm off for a girls' weekend with my sister-in-law and niece. They are going to scrapbook and I'm going to tack down bindings and do some hand embroidery. Ya'll all have a Blessed Weekend.
