Favorite Fabric Monday

This little quilt is called "Fractured Diamonds"

Elm Creek Quilts - Gerda's Collection by Jennifer Chiaverini 2003 for Red Rooster Fabrics - 10787.

This fabric makes for a great background and blends well with browns, muted golds, certain tone-on-tones and some blacks as you can see in the pics above.

For A Friend

A friend of mine asked me to make a memory quilt for she and her family. Well that was back in February...........I don't know what happened to my time but, I'm finally finished with it. Most of the leaves have the family's names, birth-dates and marriages. The blocks are what Janice remembers from her early married life until the present. I really enjoyed making this quilt. It measures roughly 64 X 84.

Quick Quilt

Here are just a few sample blocks of a great quilt block that my friend, Molly introduced me to years ago. It's the "Double Pinwheel" and by using various contrasting fabrics, you can get two, yes I said two quilts from this one process. I call it the negative - positive effect. Anyway, this quilt can be made in a matter of a couple of days and striking results. Everyone will think that you have spent hours and weeks making the two.

I don't remember which quilt magazine or book this came from......does anyone recognize it?

Just Now....

I just took this pic of the deer between my neighbor and me. There were alot of them scampering about and party-ing before this weekend so it was hard to get them in one shot............LOL......They seemed to know that this was their last chance to be seen in the open before "Deer Season" starts this weekend...........I'm closing all the windows, hammering up all openings in my house..........because sometimes the "hunters" shoot alittle wildly........LOL.....but not funny when you're in the moment.

Embroidery Winners

Well, it's the third of November........I don't know where October went......I blinked and it was over. Anyway......the Follower Embroidery winners are.........First is Pat who gets to pick which block she wants and then Cindy. This is the last give-away for awhile........with Thanksgiving and Christmas coming up........I have a feeling that I'll be very busy. Congratulations to Pat and Cindy.

Favorite Fabric Monday

"Dappled Hide" - from The Alexander Henry Fabrics Collection. Of course this fabric is great to use for animal hides and some backgrounds. I have a couple of yards left.
