Fall Candle Ring


WOW! It's been 3 months since my last post! I've been working on classes for the fall and am posting a photo of the Fall Candle Ring class. It is embroidered leaves with heirloom stitching on the cloth base. I had a great time coming up with the idea and it is a wonderful addition to the fall classes. I have to admit that I love the fall season and am especially looking forward to the cool weather.

The Quilt That Just Won't Quit

I finally finished the Boondoggle quilt top. It's traveled with me to WI twice and finally got to stay there. I've been working on the border and decided to do a variation of a grandmother's fan. I used all of the leftover fabric pieces that I was told to throw away and added 19 more wedges and the centers to make the circular border. I decided to just have the border on three sides, since this will be a bed quilt, and thought it might not be as comfortable for sleeping. I would love to show you a picture of this, but am unable too because it's STILL in WI. My mother and I loaded the quilt and then her machine started acting up. She has graciously offered to quilt it for me after she gets her machine fixed and I have to tell you, I was so relieved! I was going to take it home and put it away for awhile. I might have to call it my patience quilt! I will post a pic when I get it back.
