July Finish

Here's my July finish. It's the Silo Barn Quilt from
Lori Kennedy's book Vintage Farm Girl.
I used 6" animal squares in the 18" silo barn blocks.
I like the animals peeking out of the barn doors.
I had fun FMQ this one. I like the silos, the wooden barns
and the bead board and feathers on the outer border.
Next month I'll finish my Leah Day Hearts and Feathers Wholecloth.

Q2 Finish 2016

Lori Holt's Silo Barn Quilt from Farm Girl Vintage
with animals in the doors.
The blocks are together and ready to quilt.

Another May finish



Silo Barn Quilt by Lori Holt in her book Farm Girl Vintage.
I made four animal 6" blocks to peek out the barn doors.
I love Lori's pieced blocks and can't wait to quilt this one.

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!
