Six done, two to go...

The latest two charity quilts...
The photos are not that great,  
but you get the idea.
It has been very cloudy here the last few days,  
so taking a good picture and 
getting the true colors, 
is very difficult.






I took this picture under the lights in my workroom.  
The color is better than the ones above.
Anyway,  six quilts done,  two more to go,  
then I will donate them. 
 It will be hard to give them up.  
I really like all of them!

Thanks for stopping by and looking.

Noah's Ark quilt...

OK...
I got a new Free Motion Quilting foot for my machine 
and I am back in business.  
I finished up the Noah's Ark quilt yesterday
 and I really like how it came out.
I love doing these panel quilts!




Closer up...



 I really like the back of it,  too!



Four down,  four to go...

Thanks for looking...

Baby Quilts...


I've been sewing a lot.  It's winter here in New England and too cold to be outside gardening.  Lots of snow out there.  Winter is truly here.
When I visited my cousin in Florida in November,  she gave me lots of quilt panels, some even had the backings to go with them.  I have been working on them.  I have a place that I can donate them to and they will be well used.  I finished 3 so far and I'm working on the fourth now.  Unfortunately,  my free motion quilting foot on my machine broke last night.  I need to go to the sewing store today and get a new one.  I can't work without this foot.  I am praying that they have one in stock.

So here is the first one.  This is one of those pre-quilted panels.  I just had to make the binding and attach it.  It is really cute!






I didn't do as much background work on this one,  but I think it came out really nice.  I love the pink on the back and for the binding.  I did the hearts by sewing around a cardstock cut out.  Easy and they look so pretty!




This is my new serger.  I haven't really used it yet,  but will use it mostly for my doll clothes that I make.  This was a Christmas gift from my better half...







This is the third quilt.  It is all done with free motion quilting.  It took a really long time,  but I think my skill has improved overall.  I love the matching backing that goes with it.


I have quite a few more to make,  but I love sewing these panels and I know that they will be appreciated by the recipients.  Thanks for visiting and I hope you have a great day!
