Victoria's Quilts...

Because we ladies from Campbellton will not be joining the Bathurst ladies for the Feb. quild meeting to make quilt tops for the Victoria Quilts, we decided to make one here in my home and pass it on to the ladies in Bathurst.. Probably get it to them when we go to the retreat.. Lynda and I did the sewing and Kay and Christine did the ironing and the cutting or sizing of the blocks.. 

Anyways, I thought I would take a few pictures of us, I mean them as I was the one behind the camera, and also of the partly finished quilt top.. We thought it to be very busy to look at so we put some of the same colored strips going the same way to minimize the busyness ( is that a word? )..

Kay will put on a brown border to get the desired size..

Well... So much for my stippling.. I stippled two blocks and unpicked them right after.. Did not do it very well at all.. should have taken a picture to show how bad it looked.. lol  but oh well.. 

So I made a grid and used my walking foot.. I think I will be a walking foot kind of quilter.. 

I do like how it turned out...
God Bless...

Well today I am going to attempt to stipple this small quilt. Been putting it off for a few years now. I think it is very pretty, so hope it works well. If it doesn't work, my hubby will be doing some ripping..

I will post a picture of the finished stippling... On more contemplating, I think maybe I should just do a grid with my walking foot.. Not quite sure now.. 

Ok, I will give myself 10 min. to decide and then just sit down and sew it. Ok, I will stipple.. 

No wait, I will do a grid.. Yes I'll try to stipple.. No, take the easy way and do a grid.. Yes, Gail try the stipple.. No do a grid, its easier or is it?.. ( this is my mind talking to itself)

Anyways I'll post what I decided to do.. 

God Bless.. 

 So this is as far as I got on my dads quilt.. Now I am hand sewing the sashing between the blocks.
Only has to be done for March 31st. but I know if I put it away for a later date to sew the sashing and put on the binding afterwards, I will probably only start up again on it at the last minute.. And I don't want to do that... I saw a tutorial for a star block and I am so anxious to try it among a couple other things I am anxious to try. I also want to clean up all my fabric stash.. My sewing room right now is such a mess and is so disorganized.. In a few weeks we are expecting a chinese student and my sewing stuff  comes down stairs again.. Going to miss my sewing room.. but my hubby already cleaned a little area for me to host my sewing table and bins.

Well thats it for this post...

God Bless...

Here are pictures of Lauryns quilt.. I asked my hubby if he would like to pick one of the flowers and he said yes. So he picked the flower in the corner of the bottom right.. He did a good job of it too...
