Newest Projects

Cheri Payne generously offers great free patterns on her blog.  Recently, she shared her double four patch quilt, and I jumped right in.  Here's my version:
Cheri made another doll quilt for a gift, and a great tablerunner, and, again, here is my version:


The next two are from Temecula, who has a monthly mini quilt kit offering.  The past two months were a sweet, little pinwheel, and a log cabin, perfect for Valentine's Day.                                      


Tomorrow, I have carpal tunnel surgery on my left hand.  The right hand was a breeze, so I am being optimistic about tomorrow.  I was able to get back to sewing fairly soon, and even rotary cutting, with a new, ergonomic cutter.  Blogger is messing with me again - white typeface!  Will try to change it.

Ohh, I love your version of Cheri's quilt. I especially like the blue/grey checkered border around the large blue blocks and the magenta triangles. Lovely!

Looks like we get inspiration from the same sources. Your versions are very nice. I especially love the sweet little Valentine colored log cabin.
Oh, good luck with the surgery. Hope all goes well--again.

First, I hope your recovery from surgery is short so you can get back to stitching.

My favorite of your little quilts is the log cabin. Perfect for Valentine's Day.

All of your versions are so sweet and the little red log cabin is perfect for this week. Thinking of you.
