April Finish

I love cats and this Purrfectly Pieced quilt by Bonnie Sullivan is sew fun.
I added some blue flannel and softened the flower and tomato center colors.
The FMQ was mostly echo quilting around the applique and
fmq added to the spools, flowers and the quilts.

Quarter 2 Finish along

This year's Lori Holt quilt is from Farm Girl Vintage.
I have one 6" kitty block sewn. 
The other three 6" blocks are cut and ready to sew.
I'll have a kitty, cow, sheep and hen looking out the barn doors.

I love this Bonnie Sullivan kit Santa got me for Christmas.
I added some blue flannel and changed some gold for a softer color.
I need to embroider some noses, eyes and bird feet, then assemble and quilt.

Bunny Hill's Rabbits Prefer Chocolate is made with my favorite colors from my stash.
The top applique and piecing was finished last December.
Since then I've finished the embroidery and now I need to finish the FMQ.
A closer look shows a couple of fun motifs I designed: bunnies and chicks.

Leah Day's Hearrs and Flowers whole cloth quilt with FMQ and trapunto.
Almost done:)

This is a linen table topper my daughter Kelley and I found at a cute NH antique store.
I love the colorful embroidery. The what knots are still there from the original sewer.
The trapunto is done with wash away thread and the quilt sandwich prepared.
Now I want to finish the quilting.

This is a tall order of sewing and quilting to complete but I really want to get these projects completed this quarter and ready to show in two quilt shows later this year.  
This summer I'm going to participate in the QuiltsShopGal challenge with Cindy Needham.
I bought the ultimate stencils this week and am excited to focus on my FMQ this summer!

March UFO

For March I finished the Fat Quarter Shop 2015 Snapshots quilt. I had to complete the bottom three blocks and assemble the top. It is sew cute in my scrappy version from my stash and a few new Pam Kitty Garden FQ's. I love it and can't wait to quilt it.
I started quilting Rabbits prefer Chocolate for April's UFO and love that one too.
