I know it has been a very long time since I have posted anything. My health has prohibitaed me from doing a whole lot but I have finished a couple of things, Have 1 quilt ready to go on the frame to be quilted and the Black & White & Red all over is almost ready to go on as well.
The first picture is for my neice for christmas. I took a class on how to do a dresdin palte using pre-made bias bindiing strips.
The second picture is a challenge quilt. I bought a bag with fabric in it for $5 and had to make something 
using that fabric. The fabric I got was the plowed fields in the middle. I had to add a house, path, bird bath, bird and another animal. It will go up to be judged at a ocal quilt store by my peers. I am not satisfied with the quilting. I think my machine is about to bite the dust. I used invisable thread for the quilt itself and matching thread for the border. I still need to put a binding of some kind on it to make it a total of 28 inches. I may use the same fabric as the border. I really haven't decided yet

I really haven't decided yetI am going to be teaching a class at the same quilt store on half square and quarter square triangls in Jan.

Hopefully I will get more accomplished in the New Year.
