Krazy Patch workshop......
Saturday I spent the day at one of our guild workshops. Rosie was going to teach the Kwik Krazy II pattern. Many of us were there to make them into Christmas runners and some to make quilts. (I've done this pattern before and the quilt I made is the one in the header photo above and also on my sidebar.)
Rosie showed us this gorgeous quilt top that she has made from the pattern!
Isn't this cute?.....she cut a block down and put it at each corner in the border. Nice touch, Rosie! I love these colors!
Rosie did these Christmas blocks for runners......
.....and also these beautiful black and white blocks! She has made a bunch of quilts from this pattern.
These are mine.....I wanted to do Christmas blocks and hope to make them into 3 Christmas runners and then sell them....watch my blog if I put them up for sale :-)
I tried to get photos of everyone's projects before they left, but I missed one person. This was a lovely set done in pink and greys.
M. was making hers for a quilt for a grandchild...very colorful!
Trying to figure out the proper way to line up the pieces.
Mary A. did Christmas fabrics and was testing them against possible sashing or border fabric.
Mary J. is not in the photo, but is standing back trying to decide if she liked this layout! It can be hard to position them so that certain colors don't end up next to each other if you don't use sashing.
A very "Spring" looking set of colors that will be a quilt eventually.
C. was still sewing hers up when I took the photo.
Her colors were very "country" looking and dramatic.
I think there were 9 of us working on the Krazy patches and one other person hand-quilting on a small quilt (which I failed to get a photo of!). We had a wonderful day all quilting together and accomplished a lot.

Now I have to get busy and decide how to finish up my runners......pointed ends or squared off.....sashing between or not.....border fabric.....binding.......Hmmmmmm....maybe I still have a lot to do!

Going "Crazy-Patch Christmas Stocking" Crazy.....
With the quilt show over and out of the way, I'm heading full tilt into my Christmas stocking frenzy.....I am making 4 stockings for my sister's family. I made one for her granddaughter last year and now they all want one.
The cutting room floor......what a mess!
Laying out Peter's
Stuff for Dorothy's....red, green, white, and gold.....not started yet
Trims and lace and ribbons everywhere I look....
....I love all this stuff!
Abi's in progress
Peter's in progress.....I still have to do hand stitching and fancy stuff on all of them once the fabric and lace are in place.
3 in progress.....Mary's didn't photograph well, but it will be beautiful when it is done! 1 more to get the fabric on and then I can relax and do the fun stuff.....beads, ribbon embroidery, crazy stitching, buttons......

Posey County Quilt Show....
Right before we headed off to Seattle for vacation I went to a small quilt show and antique tractor show in Posey County, IN. A nice mix for our family....I like quilts, Mike likes tractors :-) I can't show them all, but here are a few of them. Nice old fashioned looking quilts. Beautiful!

Small projects....2nd Monday sewing group
I haven't been doing a lot of quilting, so I haven't had anything to post. On the 2nd Monday of each month, a small group meets at Red Bank Library for a morning of working on hand projects and .......talking!
I was doing blanket stitch around the feathers of this little turkey. It is going to be a wall hanging to put in the silent auction at our quilt show in September.
Another woman was working blanket stitch on this Halloween quilt...very cute!
Marti was doing this weaving and she is then going to add a crocheted baby carriage. Should look wonderful when done.

At home I finished the turkey and added borders. However I think the brown border "overpowers" the whole thing and plan to cut an inch off all the way around before quilting it.
Another little project to donate to the auction. A little velvet pillow with crazy stitch work. I'm practicing up to start on those 4 Crazy Quilt Christmas stockings that my sister is expecting this year! Must start those soon. Real soon. Maybe this week.

Dollhouse quilt studio.....
I was taking photos at one of our local libraries which will be in my other blog on Tuesday, but inside there was a display of little miniature scenes all done by one lady (whose name I forgot to write down).
This appears to be a little quilting studio or quilt store.....so cute!
I just love this! Click to make the photos larger and see the details.
The little quilts on the wall are mostly not in scale, but the overall effect is very cute.
I love this little quilt frame!
A sewing machine by the stairs.
Upstairs, another sewing machine, ironing board, quilt magazines, a comfy chair....Hey!....I want to move in here to do my quilting! Too bad that I won't fit!
