Do you remember this quilt?  Seattle Judy was working on it last week during our Wednesday Quilting.

What a difference a week makes!!  Look at it NOW!!  Judy has cut out her appliquéd pieces and ironed them onto her quilt.  Now she is busy hand stitching them on!!  Gorgeous!This is going to hang in her daughter-in-law’s office at an Elementary School.  The kids are going to love it!!  Judy has made one for every season and they hang in her DIL office during the appropriate season!!  How lucky is she!

  3. You are so lucky to have such a wonderful group of ladies to share quilting with. Was too cold for yard sales here, but by the time I get my lazy rear out of the house, there is nothing left;)

  4. Those spiral table runners are just crazy! How are the edges finished? That's a cool way to use a wedge ruler. I'm in search of a wedgie myself...for making dresdens, that is.

  7. I love the spiral table runners. I must look out my Dresden Plate wedge ruler-y thingy and see if that would work. Hmm, I'm thinking Christmas pressies maybe? I'm looking forward to seeing what treasures you find at the garage sale.
