YOU CAN DO LOTS WITH QAYG

Marilyn and I had a Quilt As You Go one-on-one Friday at the Attic Window Quilt Shop. Marilyn said she had a bunch of homespun fabrics she wanted to use, so she decided to make her quilt with those.  During our session she made two blocks, learned how to attach them to each other. and quilted them.  She did a wonderful job and I can't wait to see the finished quilt.

Above is a closeup of one of her blocks.  There are a multitude of ways to quilt these blocks and Marilyn chose to use the straight line method.  That is my favorite.

While Marilyn made her blocks, I decided to use up some of my black and white scraps and made the above mug rug.

I've decided to use this base and applique this bright flower on it.  Haven't decided what to use for binding.  You can learn my Freezer Paper Applique method and make a mug rug with me on Wednesday, September 28, from 2 - 3 p.m.  Call the shop to register and get a supply list.

MORE FINISHES BY MISTI

When recently talking to Misti (co-worker) I learned that her quilt was finished.  Naturally I had to see it and take a picture to show you.  Isn't it lovely!  Misti said it is a Christmas gift and I'm not telling who she is giving it to.

This closeup shows you the adorable kitten fabrics she used in the quilt.  As I recall, she said the quilt came as a kit.

But the kit did not include this beautiful Moda fabric that Misti used on the back of her quilt.  She actually has two quilts in one!

Misti also showed me this table topper, table runner, and mug rug that she recently completed.

This is a closeup of one of the blocks.  Misti said that the Primitive Gardens pattern was for a quilt.  However, during a recent move, the pattern was misplaced and Misti decided to make the blocks that she had finished into these other items instead.  Pretty clever, don't you think?

Thanks Misti for sharing your lovely work with us.

IT'S PERSONAL

Today I want to show you the PJs I made for my great grandson.  I didn't have a pattern, so I took his clothes and traced a pattern.  Worked well on the shorts, but I had a little trouble with the top.  The point is, he picked out the fabric himself and told me what to make with each piece.  I love it when that happens.  Isn't he one handsome dude!

I wanted to show you this too.  It has been a wonderful growing season here in Michigan.  This Sweet Autumn Myrtle  Clematis is loaded with blooms.  I love how it's sweet fragrance drifts through my back yard.  I read recently that Autumn shows us that there is beauty in letting go.
