America the Beautiful

Another group is working on the quilt America the Beautiful.  I hope to be able to work through this during the year.  It seems to have lots of pieces, but will be beautiful when it is done.  Instead of working on Section A, I started on Section B.  LOL  Leave it to me to do it differently.

I started the hand stitching of the binding on the Turtle applique.

I got the binding sewn on 2 of the Christmas quilts and they are ready to hand stitch.

It's been a productive day.

Uncle Dick's quilt

Not the best photo, but this is Marge's NYE Mystery that I made for my Uncle Dick.  I can't say the colors are what I like, but I had the jelly roll.  I started it last year, and left it a day, so it squeaks by as a UFO.  LOL  I did have to buy the backing because I didn't want a fully pieced backing for this quilt.  Everything else was from the stash.  Even the batting was sewn together to make a larger piece.  I am making progress, even if it is slow on that batting.  I do need to figure out what to do with the smaller sizes.

I'm working on squaring up the 2 Christmas quilts and putting borders on the 3rd.  That is if this cedar allergy allows me to keep my eyes open.

One step at a time

Uncle Dick's quilt is done, and in the washer.  When it is out, I'll take a photo of it.  This is the second Christmas 6" block quilt that I'm quilting today.  the batting for both of them came from the pile of batting over to the right.
My room is a mess.  Gets messier when I'm doing something.  I wish my desk would stay clean, but that never seems to happen.
I am excited for all that I've accomplished so far.

Turtle Applique

Well, I don't want to post the photo until I'm done with the binding.  I did lots of intricate quilting on the Turtle applique wall hanging.  I hope this one goes in my bathroom for decoration. 
I'm pleased with it, and learned some things on the quilting aspect.
Hoping to have it bound in the next day or two.

Uncle Dick's label is ready to sew on too, so that photo will be coming soon.

Using Firefox will let me upload photos

Seems that Firefox will let me upload photos, but not Internet explorer.  DS is trying to fix it for me.

 

this is my Jo's Club UFO I finally finished.  I noticed that the pinwheels are not turning all the same direction.  :()

The baby quilt for the high risk pregnancy clinic at Brooke Army Medical Center.  This is another UFO

 Notice the left side has the 3 rows sewn together in columns. That's 1/4 of the quilt.  This is a long term UFO that I need done so I can get my design wall back.

Two Troll pillowcases I started, but didn't finish for some reason.  Why?  Who were they meant for?????

Problems with photo loading

If you have an idea how to get it so I can upload photos again, please let me know.  There isn't a way to browse photos to get one loaded.  :(

I did finish the binding on Uncle Dick's quilt, and Vicki digitized the label for me, so now to get the label stitched out and sewn on the quilt.  It should be able to be mailed on Monday.  :)

Oh, I also cut some more of the baby clothing quilt.  That is a long term project.  I hope to use my 15 minutes a day to cut.  I have 2 large bins of those clothes already cut apart.

I am also working on the Christmas quilts.  Need one more border on one of them and then I can load it.

Then I'll need borders on the other 2.

2 UFOs done

 I wish I could get the photo option on this blog to work.  :( 
I finished 2 UFOs
One was a small 4 patch baby quilt that will go to BAMC High Risk Pregnancy ward.
One is a Jo's Club challenge that is in purple instead of patriotic.
I have one ready to load and quilt tomorrow.
I have 3 Christmas square quilts that need borders.
