Welcome 2018

I guess I'm a little behind for the new year.  Here it is February and its my first post.  I've been busy completing two tops that I began last year.  The first is "On Ringo Lake", a Quiltville mystery quilt.   I have so much fun doing these mysteries, and this one came together so easily.  Lots of piecing to keep me challenged. This is the 9th Quiltville mystery top I've finished.   Notice I say top--many still need quilting.

 

This second quilt, Holy Toledo,  is from Bonnie Hunter's book Scraps & Shirttails II.  Its made from mostly recycled shirts collected from hubby, son, and the thrift store. 

 

 

I've been doing a lot of slow stitching as well.  I have about 115 of these small baskets appliqued, and I'm working on this embroidery design offered by Jenny of Elefantz .

 





 

 

 

I'll be linking up to Kathy's Blog for Slow Stitching Sunday, working on these projects, as well as doing a little hand quilting while I watch football.
