Done!

 

Finally, a finish!!!  Have too many works-in-progress, so this feels good.

Jelly Roll Challenge

 

A fellow quilter gave me this jelly roll and said she knew I could make something with it.  The colors are much like my Persian rugs,   I have been mulling this over and finally was inspired by the "Over and Down Under" quilts my friends have been making.  With the help from quilt teacher, Judy Doenias, I am making a table runner.  I do love a challenge.  Thank you, Sally!

Now to quilt and bind...

A Gift to Be Simple

My friend Jim and I made this quilt for the veterans' hospital on LI.  Jim selected the colors and cut strips while I sewed.  I love how it looks with my Shaker boxes and basket, and now I want to make another... to keep! 

Another Year, Another UFO

Have been in the quilt doldrums lately.  My beloved Jack's Chain is progressing ever so slowly.  Knee replacement surgery knocked me out for a long while. Now I really need to get moving on something easier.  I have been smitten with my friend Karen's quilt (above)...her version of a Kaffe Fassett design.  What the heck!  Will kick off the new year with something completely different.  The whole world is in a state of disequilibrium anyway! 

However, I will not abandon "Jack"

Jack's Chain

Have started another new quilt!  I know I already have too many works-in-progress, but I simply could not resist taking one last class at City Quilter before it closes.  "Jack's Chain" is an oldie but goodie.  Am piecing it all by hand and want to make it for my son and brand new daughter-in-law for Christmas.  Think I'll make it?

Big hearts for Orlando

 

My dear friends, Naomi and Geraldine came over to make big heart blocks today.  They will be made into quilts for the victims in Orlando.  It was a pleasant afternoon considering the ugly tragedy that took place last week.   Quilting in rainbow colors is very therapeutic!

Hand Sewing with Agnes

Hand piecing trees is good on this beautiful spring day.  Allergies are keeping us indoors for now.
