Scrappy Quilts

Over the years, I've really found that I like doing scrappy quilts.   

 This was a batik strip quilt for a wedding gift for Joshua and Ashley Hite

 Another wedding quilt for a cousin.

The blocks for this quilt were from a Block Swap.  I think I still have enough to do another quilt.

 

 This quilt I found at an estate sale,  it's all hand quilted and hand embroidered.  

 

 

My daugherinlaw loves Halloweeen and this is a Disappearing Nine Patch.  

 

When I worked at the Quilt shop we started a contest on University Quilts.  I still love my Duck Quilt

Darlene Krake with a QOV presented to Ralph Soltau  Summer 2015.  WWII Veteran Purple Heart Brownsville, OR

 

 This was a scrappy quilt that I gifted out.

 

 The Girl Quilts.  I seen this quilt in Sister's 2008.  So I made each one of my nieces a quilt, flower fabric, Dot fabrics, stripes and plaids.  The pattern was not available but Jean Wells sent me hers.  Thank you Jean.    Fun...

Quilts of valor

Turkey day ----

Next week.   And I have two new knees this year.     Not sure what my plans are yet but, I do know that   I'm ready for the civil war game.    

This surgery went much better than the other one.   One month later both knees are the same size.  

Sewing room disaster

Seriously,  my room is a disaster.   Too many projects.   Almost finished with this QOVF top but then,  I haven't put stuff away or pulled stuff out of drawers

That turns my small space into looking like this

No, I haven't been drinking wine and use the bottle for my iron water bottle.   

Then I was gifted some fabric for my QOV's.  

Open space is growing smaller and smaller

My plan is to finish the quilt on the wall, make the backings for two quilts and clean.  

Ready for planting...

New bed going in and rearranging my area.  Plan on putting in a new bed filled with strawberries.   The netting will keep the cats from doing their business for a while.   

I mowed the grass last week.   Today I was hoping to get a load of top soil to address some low areas and fill up the new boxes.   So after thatlan failed we we to Bimart and picked up enough to cover the compost I put out today.  Guess I should pick up some paint.    

Row Robin swap

This quilt belongs to Liz Godts.   She lives bright colors.   And we've been quilting friends for many years.    She did the first row of houses.  Susan. Made the next row followed nancy, Amanda and Ellie.  I added the apples and pinwheels.    It's pretty busy.     

The ugly quilt

Who says I can not make an ugly quilt.  Cousin katlin wants the ugliest quilt she can wrap her body in.   Today I have company, Kinky loves spending time in my sewing room.    We often fight over my chair when I get up to iron he steals my seat.   

 

I Picked some   ugly orphan blocks.   These floral units are awesome and I bought them in Alaska Many years ago.  Well traveled blocks and well made.   

I did some chain sewing.  

Then I stitched them to the center

Still working out of my stash of blocks from other projects.   

Drawer 1

Drawer two.   There are lots of blocks stash here.  There is no end to the blocks.   Lol

Then onto   The ugly quilt
