CONGRATULATIONS!

You will have one more entry for giveaway #3

on FEB 28th.

Thanks again for following along in my journey.

snow day and a giveaway

                It's been snowing all day and the sanders have just come by.
                    Oh well it's winter still here in Ontario, Canada.
So I have been in my sewing studio sewing my little heart out.
I'm making a queen size quilt for my eldest grandson.

This is the fabric I picked out and started cutting 2 1/2 " strips.
I find that my June Tailor Shape Cut Plus works best and cuts the time in half.
The rail fence pattern goes together with ease.
Sew 3 stips together than cut at 6 1/2 " intervals. I get a total of 6 cuts from each.
I need a total of 224    6 1/2" blocks. Well I have a long way to go.

Just a reminder that my giveaway is still on til Feb 20.
                                           Go here to enter.
                                                 Good Luck!

NEED A LITTLE INSPIRATION

Remember this post on NEEDLE INSPIRATION.
This picture from Country Living mag.


Well here is my Quilt.

                                                                      It measures 68" X 84".

I JUST LOVE HOW IT TURNED OUT.

I also made a pillow sham to match.                                                   The sham measures 32 x 25 with a 2" flange.




I used scraps to make the centre and then used my leftover fabric for the rest.

Here is a close up.


 Here is the back of the quilt. Love the texture of the blues.
I do all my own quilting on a little gracie frame.
I used a meandering or stipple effect on both the sham and the quilt.

Enjoy!
until next time,

Linda

I ALWAYS WANTED A " HUMMER"

I always wanted a Hummer.
Mr DH has been busy again in his workshop.
I'm so proud of his work.   He puts his heart into it.....

This is not a kit.

Mr. DH cuts every piece by hand.
He uses scrap wood that has been given to him.
He uses all recycled.

LOOK AT THE DETAIL...

The wheels are made in three pieces.
The grill  is cut out with a dremmel tool.

Enjoy!
until next time,
Linda
