Dresden Plate Quilt

Hi friends!
Rainy day!
I finished quilting all 12 of my blocks Saturday.

Then i took pictures of it with the fabric that i had enough left of to do the saching.

This is the one i decided to go with and use the lighter fabric for the border when i get that far.
Now is the hard part , putting the pieces together with saching so that they look good.
Got to get to work friends.
Have a wonderful sewing day.

Dresdan plate quilt

Hi friends!

Beautiful day!

Yesterday i fixed up 4 blocks and made a sandwich out of them.

Then i got this one, the 12th block, ready so now i have 12 in all.

Maybe i will have time to fix some more blocks for quilting tomorrow.

We had a Dr. apt. today in Rome and came back and Tommy pulled and i shucked corn.

It's looking better this year.
Got a lot of work to do tonight!
Have a great day friends.

Snowman Dresden Plate quilt

Hi friends!

Beautiful day!

This is the 11th block of the 12 block quilt.

As you can see i just need one more to have a flimsy, thinking about a border for the sides out of the sparkling snow man fabric.
We spent the morning at the eye Dr. office and hubby got a good report. We go back in 4 months and then we will be released..  I said we but it's him!
Have a great day friends.

Dresden Quilt

Hi friends!

Cloudy!

I have been working on these and now have eight done, that just leaves 4 but i was running out of the background fabric.

I ordered some more  Moda Snow from from "Pink Chalk fabrics" Sunday and i got it today.  here
is the link to their shop if you need any thing in a timely fashion. That means i have six yards just in the background fabric not counting all the fabric i bought with snow men on it. And people think200.00 dollars is to much for a quilt!!! Just think at least 6 yards go into the back plus battening and them binding is another yard.

Don't they look pretty all together?

When i get the other four done i will sach around each block after i trim them down so they are all the same size.

Have a great day friends.

Making blocks

HI friends!

Beautiful day

I think three will be just right with saching and a small border, it already hangs off the side of the bed.

Just nine more to go and i will make up my mind how to proceed.  Need to check and see how much backing i have on hand.

I didn't get much sewing done over the weekend, didn't feel good. What little sewing i got done was done yesterday.

 This is how i do my centers, with lots of starch!!

A round piece of cardboard.

Now i just like 8,

Have a great day friends.

Dresden Block

Hi friends!

Beautiful day!

I made another one the other day. These are so much fun to make.

I have to make up my mind soon how i am going to quilt them.

I know they are boring to you because they are made out of the same fabric..

Hoping to get a lot of work done today while hubby cut the grass.

I was thinking about starting another quilt today, i will show you what inspired me
Isn't this a great block?  If i make it i am thinking about making it bigger so it want take so long to make it, it would be for us but where i would put it i don't know!!!!

Have a great one friends.

It took 5 minutes for blogger to load one picture just now!!!!!!

This is no 6 and made 7 and 8, just like 4 more having 12 done.

Want to ask the one that is going to get it about that snow or white fabric.  Then i may quilt as you go all the blocks.

i was going to up load the picture of all three but it wouldn't do it.

I will be so glad when blogger gets the bugs out!!!!!

Have a great day friends.

Snow Man Quilt

Hi friends!

Beautiful day!

I have made 5 of these snowman Dresden plates for this quilt.

Cut out some more last night and cut my self, i either cut my self or rip my self with the seam ripper all

the time.  All the Fabric in the Dresden is snowman fabric.

I am thinking about this for the background for the Dresden's, my moda snow, makes sense doesn't it

I should have one made later this week to show you.

Have a great day friends.

Dresden Plates

 Hi friends!
Beautiful day!
My next quilt , a snowman Dresden plate!!!!

I love these as you know because i made me one for Christmas last year.

I love mine with the pillow shams to match.

I made nine blocks for mine and put on a border but i think this will be 12  blocks . 

Don't have another Christmas pillow like mine , gave that fabric to a very good friend.

Wonder if she has made a pillow yet?  It takes a lot of stuffing for that big a pillow.

Have a great day friends.

Finished , Missy's quilt

Hi friends!
Rainy day!
I have finally finished Missy's quilt.  After i made these pictures i worked on the spot on the left that looks like it is drawed in    .Worked on it again last night so now i think i have it right.  While i was binding it i noticed a big fold on the back about 5 inches from the edge.  After i fixed it i had to quilt the spots that i took out.
Now it has a label on it and is ready for Missy to pick it up

That is one big quilt, so not perfect but i love it any way  I just hope she likes it.

Have a great day friends!

Missy's quilt

Hi friends!
Beautiful day!
This is what i ended up binding it with.  It has the red and brown that the quilt has in it.  Not through with it yet because i didn't do any sewing on Father's day , spent it with my wonderful Husband.

Sat. i cut out some Dresden plates pieces for my sweet step daughter Kim, she wanted a Dresden plate snowman quilt like i made my self last year out of Christmas fabric.

well i am going to get busy so maybe i will have a finish for tomorrow.

Have a great day friends.

Missy's Quilt.

Hi friends!

Rainy day!

I wrestled this monster all day yesterday!

Got the binding on , now i need to trim and hand sew the binding down and wash it, maybe the sun will come out long enough to hang it and take pictures. Maybe this afternoon i will get it trimmed and work on it tonight.
Have a great day friends.

Missy's quilt

Hi friends!
The sun is out!!!
Ironing this hugh quilt after i sandwiched it and added some more backing.

Love my brother machine, i keep it set up for quilting and use my Janome for piecing.

Wavy lines until i can replace my free motion sewing foot.

Got about half done, time for a snack, talk to you later.

Sandwiched!!!!

 Hi friends!
Rainy day!
I didn't think it was wide enough so i added 5 inches on each side for a border and 3 inches on the top and bottom.
I had bought a queen sized sheet to do the backing but  when i sandwiched it it just didn't quite make it all the way!
I sandwiched 80& of it and now i am looking for scraps to add to  the backing to complete it.

It's a nice big quilt!
Maybe i will have a Friday finish for this week to.
I am going to use what i can find of the fabric that is in this quilt top for the backing up one side.
I put nearly 5 yards of white in it , bought 3 yards to start and then bought another 3 yards of a white  not like the first white  because you can never find the same one.
Tried to mix it in so it would hopefully look alright.
Used one yard of brown and several yards of different colors.  One yard of cowboys witch was all i could get in a esty shop but i loved it and wanted it for her quilt because she is a cowgirl and rides in Rodeo's.
Hopefully by thw weekend i can call her and tell her to come and get it.
Have a great day friends.

Flimsy!!!!

Hi friends.
Beautiful day!
Finished the last two rows yesterday!  Think maybe a small border and then i will sandwich this and quilt it.

It's not perfect but neither am i so we will let it go as is.

After all i am getting better with each quilt i make.

I just hope Missy likes it when i am done with it.

Have a great day friends.
