A couple more WIPs



The first of several star blocks using Maywood fabric's Folk Art Fancies as centers. The pattern is from a Fons and Porter magazine.


Here are a few more star blocks, stitched and unstitched.

9 patch bed quilt



9 patch blocks laid out alternating with plain blocks


The plain blocks seemed a little, well, plain. So, I decided to use a few other fabrics. It seemed to add some depth.


Here are the blocks sewn together


More of the blocks sewn together. Now I need to figure out a quilting design. It will be machine quilted....the only way there's any hope of finishing it in my lifetime.

X Stitch


One of my favorite counted x stitch pieces, completed several years ago.

Punchneedle




This is a little punchneedle piece I started some time ago. The rest of the red background still needs to be completed.


Punchneedle is worked from the back, so this is the side you see when doing the actual 'punching'.

Log Cabin Wall Hanging



This wall hanging is really not a true WIP, as I finished it a few years ago. I like the combination of piecing and applique.

Christmas wall hanging




Here is the center of a wall hanging and a coordinating pillow. The red borders on the pillow are also used on the wall hanging. The pattern came from a McCall's quilting magazine a couple years ago. Both pieces are waiting to be quilted.
