The following two photos are of items that will be in the Little Quilt Raffle for March at the Orange Blossom Quilters Guild.  Don't forget to purchase your tickets. You could win one of these.

Odds and Ends

At our friendship group we always do show and tell.  Here are some of the items shared this week.

Carolyn's small quilt.

Sheila's blocks from Craftsy plus....

Denise's Heart quilt.  Could it get any bigger?
Really pretty.

Diane's Strip Club quilt.  Oh so pretty.

I am so far behind I am not sure I will ever get caught up.  I have to work on my strip club quilt tomorrow at open sew and hopefully get some of it put together. 

Thanks for dropping by.  Encourage each other in quilting.  Paula

Tangled Threads

Our friendship group Tangled Threads is starting a new challenge.  It is a type of round robin challenge.  We each start with three different fabrics in the colors of our choice.  We make two different 12" blocks out of our fabric then pass it on.  We each make the same two blocks out of each others fabrics.  Here are some photos of our beginning.

Comfort Quilts

This past week has been one where I finally was able to finish up some of the comfort quilts that I started a while back.  I actually have 14 tops made and did not have batting.  Here are a few that are now complete.

This is all left over materials turned into a quilt.

Donated Sun Bonnet Sue blocks.
Makes a great little girl quilt.  

Baby Quilt made from left overs

The black and white fabric was donated by Jeremy from Thimble Towne.  This  quilt is a nice size and could cover a man easily.

This one is finally completed.  This was the New Years Eve on line Mystery quilt that our group did.  I finally got it quilted and bound. 

I have finished three others but have not taken photos of those yet.

My Little Blonde Girl

Everyone that know me well knows how much I enjoy having my Granddaughter Kristina home for a few days.  She came Friday afternoon and does not leave until tomorrow.  She brought her quilting material with her.  So friday night we spent cutting.

Our first trip was to Thimble Towne on Saturday for her to purchase some quilting rulers.  The one she had was broken in one of her moves.  So.....being the nice Grandma that I am I purchased her three new rulers.  Would have got four but they were out of the fourth size I wanted for her so she will get it next time. 

Sewing her half square triangles together.  Only 64 to go.

Notice the white cat helping her sew.  That is Miss Kitty.  At my house you will always have at least one of four helping you sew.

Sunday, she had to get some time in with her Grandpa and Uncle....so they went to the range in Fresno to shoot.  She is getting to be quite the dead eye.  I got to see the targets.  She is much more accurate than I am.  Then home again and back to sewing.
