mystery five-0

I am so excited to be joining Mystery Five-O.  I went this morning to get my 6 fat-quarter bundle that my local quilt shop offers.  I learned that there will be 3 table toppers to make before the main mystery quilt starts, so I bought 3 bundles.  The first mini mystery already happened so I will be starting on the second one.  I will be able to make the first one and get the pattern at the end of the month.

I totally can't wait to start, it's going to be a long month.

moms quilt

Before my mom passed away, she had given me some of her quilting projects.  My mom didn't do a lot of quilting, more alterations of clothes and sewing her own garments.  I took this on a retreat and finally finished what she had started and can't wait to put it on the frame and quilt it.

 

some quilting done

 At the last retreat I went on I made these small stockings, though they were small they seemed to take forever to make.

This quilt I have had for I'm guessing about 7 years and finally made it.  I still need to quilt it and maybe put some applique on it.

Finally got this quilt on the frame and I was going to give it away but hubby took a shine to it, so I guess I am keeping it.

I still have a lot of tops to get on the frame and hopefully I will post them soon.

graduation quilt for aubs

 

I've been making quilts for the grandkid's graduation, for them to take to college or wherever their path takes them.  This photo really doesn't do the fabric justice.

retreating again

 

I went on another retreat :) Here are a few projects I worked on while there and my two quilting buddies.
