Lake Cabin quilt progress

You are all so clever! Yes...a star is missing one leg. I must fix this. So I am working on it right now! I have also added a narrow black border and am deciding on the final border fabric.

No rhyme or reason to the photos today watchers. I am whipped and yet very pleased with my sewing. I had to get away from the monster Oriental quilt. I worked on Lake Cabin from Kim Bracett's Scrap-Basket Sensations. This was another quilt that Mary Flynn made and quilted for Kim's book. I went totally scrappy with this one.

 I also decided I wanted the Friendship Stars on each sashing instead of how Mary and Kim had it. I saw after I did that that the dark legs of the block sorta diminish the effect. But I am still happy.

 I love keeping things organized while sewing. It really makes a difference to the total outcome and whether I can ENJOY the sewing process.

 Isn't this a great quilt?

 And I have bonus triangles. I made some Broken Dishes blocks from the leftovers. They will work in to my Neutral quilt I have blooming in my head. I was going to make 4 1/2" blocks. But these ended up being 3 1/2". too small? Maybe and maybe not...we will see....

Can you find my error?

Hubby found it right off. I have not decided if I am going to fix it or not.



Yo-Yo's for a quilter friend



A fellow guild member is in the hospital after emergency back surgery. One of our clever members asked all of us to bring in yo-yo's to tonight's meeting to donate. They will then be made in to a garland to decorate her hospital room. She does not wish for company. Oh how I can relate to that request. I need quiet to heal also! I made 28 yo-yo's. The problem is all my scraps are real small. And the best size for me uses 4 1/2" hunks of fabric. I tried a couple smaller ones but I was not happy with them.

My first block from Scrap Basket Sensations by Kim Brackett.
I loved the process and decided to cut in to some reproduction fabric for this quilt!

Here is a slightly blury picture of the quilt.

The quilt was made by Mary Flynn of Quilt Hollow.

The name of the pattern is "Blessings From the Hollow".

Too cute!

Sample block again....where did that come from? HA!

Only need to make 4 more blocks.

The sample block is up there but it seems to be playing nicely with the others.

I will take the extra block and slap it on the backside as a label!

Hubby does not like the middle block in the top row.

He says it is too busy.

That may be the block for the back side.

But I like it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
