The Little Ghost Who Was a Quilt and More!

Barb sent me "The Little Ghost Who Was a Quilt" for my birthday and it inspired me to whip up a little quilt to match.  

This is an Eye Spy I finished at the old house that I am not sure made it in the blog.  

Hazel enjoyed doing some art work at my house yesterday.  She made a pom pom jack o lantern and then several monsters.  She is three now--time flies so fast!

I decided to machine stitch around the flowers and all for September Golds by Kathleen Tracy.  I then quilted around those same things and got it bound.  I did a single fold binding and figured out how to meet it up.  I like the method and may try doing that on all my quilts (the meet up not the single fold).

Sewed with Becky and Barb today for a bit.  I made my brown RSC blocks (Dakota Farmer) even though brown has not been called.  October is light neutrals which I am not doing.  I did start putting some of my blocks together too.  The RSC is coming along and I have too many blocks already in too many sizes.  Super happy to be using up the half square triangles that have accumulated the past decade or so!

 

Midnight Flight Christmas Style

I updated my Quiltville Mystery Page and another Quiltville page yesterday.  It was long overdue. Apparently I never blogged about this quilt.  I took a workshop from Bonnie Hunter with a bunch of friends and my friend Barb went crazy and made too many parts for her own quilt.  You may remember I made a baby size quilt as I was so fatigued (and still working) that I struggled with getting the layout right.  I actually left several mistakes in it

A Pile of Progress!

Last Thursday I sewed with Becky and Barb online, we have a standing Thursday sew time which is nice!  So I decided to put most of the applique on this on by machine and then chain stitched the stem.  No awards won, but I will get it quilted so we can enjoy it this fall.  The pattern is September Golds from Red Button Quilt Company I love her patterns and have amassed quite a collection.  Barb made this one with me too.

I quilted this quilt myself a few months ago.  It turned out alright.  Finally got the binding made and on it a few days ago.  This one was BJ's Sundown pattern.  I love the chain in it and could see making it again.

I finished this one awhile back but do not think it ever made the blog.  Found it on my camera when I was cleaning out my pictures.  Barb sent me most of these leftover blocks (or gave them to me in person several years ago) and I made a baby quilt with them.  

 

September Sewing Homework!

Aqua is the color for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge for September.   Four blocks in two different sizes.

Also did the next block for A Quilting Life's BOM.  

 Here are all the blocks for that so far.  Looking forward to it coming together.

I also got the binding made for another quilt and it is half attached.  Hopefully today I will get the other half of it done.  

Ruby Jubilee--Forgotten Flimsy!

So today I did some cleaning up of my blog...my post labels have many duplicates, typos, etc. so I did some cleaning up on those.  Then I decided to update my Quiltville Mystery page and my Parade of Quiltville Quilts page.  I never even got last year's quilts on there!  Anyway, in doing that I discovered that I never posted the completed Ruby Jubilee top with the borders.  This was done almost a year ago now.  Sheesh.

Bug loves it!

The completion of this quilt was a labor of love.  I copied Bonnie's version (mostly) and really enjoyed sewing it with Barb (hers is in green) and Becky (hers is in purple).  Barb did all the blocks (I think) and then decided she did not want to put it together, so I am currently working on Emerald Jubilee too.  I am thinking I will get them quilted and save them for Hazel and Indie for a special occasion down the line.  

 

Chilhowie is a Flimsy!

I do not remember if I mentioned we finally got a new dog.  Meet Lady.  She is supposedly three, but we are not buying it.  She has a bit more energy than we expected but otherwise fits in nicely.  She loves Kathy!

Last Thursday I spent eight hours getting Chilhowie's center done.  Managed to get the border on too.  All the matching pieces were not my favorite, but it looks nice.

Yesterday was Kathy and I's eighteenth anniversary. She brought me roses!  

Today I completed the Chilhowie top.  Super happy with it and so excited to get it done before the next mystery as I was starting to think it was going to hit the UFO pile forever.

I then finally trimmed this quilt that I quilted a month or so ago and made the binding too.

I also got out my aqua for the RSC and am ready to go with those blocks next time I sew!
