As promised...5th Grade Quilt

What a fun quilt.  I made this from men's denim shirtings and a denim duvet cover! 


This should make a great stadium quilt for cold nights at the football/baseball games! 


I quilted it in a freehand double/triple loop meander using Maxilock variegated thread on top and So Fine thread in the bobbin. 


The Fifth Grade will get it real soon to start raffling to earn money for a field trip they are planning in May. I hope it raises lots of money for them. 

Took Sven and Cheryl to the Doctor the other day...

Great News for both!! 

Sven's hA1c is a 6.9. Still awesome control of his diabetes. His doctor wishes she could clone his attitude. She is very proud of him as are we!

Cheryl's eyes checked out for her follow-up with the ophthalmologist.  Her vision has returned to normal after the accident. The doctor said she had beautiful eyes...and she said she already knew that! 

We are breathing easier with this news. Now...for some quilty stuff.

I was asked to piece a quilt for the 5th grade to raise money to help them go on an educational trip in May. The top is complete..and going on the frame tomorrow. 
Sorry, no pictures just yet. But soon...real soon! I used blue/white plaid shirtings, Kona Black and white with navy blue stars! Sounds interesting huh? 
The pattern is by Bonnie Hunter at Quiltville.com and is called Bricks and Stepping Stones. You can get the pattern here.  

Have a quilty kind of day...and remember, Our God is an awesome God! 

Band Quilt for Raffle!

I made this quilt for the WP Middle School Band Department for a raffle to be held May 27th 2010. My oldest tadpoles play in the band. Taylor plays Baritone and Madeline plays Alto Saxophone. This is their first year and they really love it.

I used 77 different fabrics for the top including the binding. Then I quilted this with Baptist Fans. This finished quilt measures 78" x 90".

The binding is an Avlyn Print that has band instruments and music notes and piano keys! How fitting I thought!

Tickets are $1 each and if interested, please email me.

Thanks for looking and supporting the WPMS Band Dept...hope you WIN!

Sneak Peek...Band Quilt

I am not showing too much of this quilt...am I???

Remember it is just a peek.

Obviously scrappy on a tan/cream background...and quilted with a Baptist Fans motif.

I pieced this quilt to donate to the Middle School Band Department for them to raffle. I hope to have it done in a couple more days.

Oh, and just wait till you see the binding!
