Progress of Happy Chemo Quilt


I am really liking the small tumbler die for my GO cutter. I just may have gone just a bit overboard - I probably have enough tumblers cut for a dozen quilts.

Another Finish

This a partial view of the latest finish. It's a BOM from Joann's from several years back. I think someone gave me the kits and I've had the top done for quite a while.

Oatmeal Bread (King Arthur)

Going to a potluck today and this will be my contribution. Recipe from bag of King Arthur Bread Flour.

Long Term Project

I can see this project cutting in on my UFO finishing project. I bought the yarn and pattern at Mother of Purl in Freeport. (My first visit there - a really nice yarn shop and the people are very nice.) The pattern is Foothill Road Aran. It isn't often that I get a real broad hint for a gift. This won't be for the birthday in May but hopefully for Christmas 2013.

Bento Box

This is a smallish quilt - Bento Box I think it was called. This is my second finish for this week. Yes!!

Charity Quilting

I will be participating this spring in this project. I'll be making at least one quilt each for Happy Chemo (this has hit pretty close to home is recent weeks) and Quilts Beyond Borders.

This Week's Finish

I'm still on schedule!!
This was a kit someone gave me. I know some of the squares had polyester in them, but that's ok.
I'm not used to making 2 or 3 color quilts and it looked rather bland to me. I quilted it with a red, white and blue variegated thread and it perked it up some.
This morning I prepared 3 backs for the next 3 quilts which will take me well into April.
