Christmas pillows

Hi friends!
Abby asked me if I could make pillows out of these. I prices pillow forms that size but they are high so I am going to make some myself. at least one to size by. It's 13 by 16, you can't buy that at Walmart.
They will make beautiful Christmas pillows.
They are very Christmas looking. When I go to Walmart I will get some invisible zippers.
They should be beautiful!

Friday Finish

Hi friends!
I finally finished this quilt and took it to my neighbor.
She has had 30 something treatment with radiation. Now they are putting on a pill for five years. She said it was a rare cancer and her Dr. had never even heard of it before. She had to consult with Dr.'s in Atlanta to find out how to treat it.
I think she liked it!
if it gives her some comfort then I am happy.

Quilted!

Hi friends!
I finished quilting this quilt but still didn't like the way parts of it looked.
Then I sewed the binding on and put it on the couch to hem.
The binding is the same as the border.
It's a good lap sized quilt. Maybe I can get it to her this week.

Doll Quilts and pillows

Hi friends!
This is what I made for the Babies!
We got Shania a toy to but I wanted to make them something.
Their is not much you can make for little except for babies .
Dawn and Jacky made the four charms and I sewed them together and sandwiched and sewed the binding on them.

I made each one of them a small pillow and a pillow case to go with it..
Maybe some where I will cause one of mine to get interested in sewing things!

Started Quilting

Hi friends!
I got a little quilting done to it after working on it.
Not a whole lot but I an going to have to take out some that I put in a first.
You know how slow that is.
But at least the last quilting I put in was good!
I was afraid I was going to have to carry it to the shop.
It's the best quilting machine of all the machines I have had.

It's better!

Hi friends!
Last night I finally got time to work on my quilting machine. Then I made me a small quilt from folding muslin over a piece of battening and pinning it.
I would do something to it and sew a little till I finally got it to do right. Just hope its still in that frame of mind today and I get time to do some work on that quilt.
I had cleaned and oiled it when I finished all those quilts before Christmas so maybe it was just tired! I did 5 last month.
I rethreaded, changed the needle cleaned the tension on the top and then re-cleaned it.
Don't know how I missed a wad of fuss and some thread hung in the machine .
Maybe it's happier now!
Have a good one

Sandwiched

Hi friends!
I finally got it sandwiched!
Hoping it will be pretty when it's finished!
I started to quilt it last night and ran into all kinds of trouble.
See that thread dangling down? It's just doing that here and there!
I know it's suppose to be the top thread so I rethreaded it and changed the needle.
I have cleaned it after that quilt-a-thon I had in Dec.
I will play with it to see if I can get it straighten out today!
Let you know how it comes out.
Have a good one

Butterflies!

Hi friends!
I was watching Jenny making butterflies and decided to put some in this quilt.
This is my start.
Got both 4 piece rows made up and thinking about putting this row down the middle. I may have to find some fabric to go with this because I don't think my jelly roll will do enough block for that many butterflies.
But I will see. Hugs
