Making blocks for pillows and binding for quilts!

I have been a busy bee yesterday and today. I have been making quilt blocks for some new couch pillows. I plan on using them once the living room is painted. I made them ahead so I can put them on my Hinty and quilt them as I finish some charity quilts for a Military retreat at a local Mission. I would like to have eight so that means I have to make sixteen blocks.  I am going with blues and browns and will probably go with a warm tan on the walls. I have also been making a ton of binding for those charity quilts. I used to hate to make binding, it scared me to death but I think I have finally got it down.  I watched enough binding tut's I should have it down anyway! I love Pinterest for that and Utube as well. It's like having private lessons right in your sewing room.  Well have a great Easter holiday everyone! Blessings!

My friend Barb who has been learning to sew with me on Friday's made this cute tumbler quilt. I quilted it for her.

Veteran's US NAVY quilt...plus a little quilt...



THis is a quilt I made for a Veteran's retreat at a local mission. It's the first military quilt I ever made.

This is a little wall quilt I made for my hubby instead of getting him a card this year.

He actually liked it!

Happy V-Day!



My dear husband bought me fabric, I think I will keep him!  He gave me an Indigo Crossings jelly roll, and three packs of the 5" charms to go with it.  And over on Etsy at a nice little shop he bought me three charm packs of  5" Harvest Moon plus from Ebay two Harvest Moon mini charm packs.  WHAT A GUY!
