Feedsack Squares - Finished

Actually, it's been on my bed for months but I only now got round to taking some pictures of it, this very morning, before work.  
It is wonderfully soft and pliable and has this wonderful ORANGE binding.   I surprised myself by choosing it, never thought I'd use Orange for a binding.
 I like how the clamshell quilting shows up in this photo.  Like it?  I love it!
 

Dear old thing!  "Making the quilts we didn't inherit."



Blue Wonder

 I'm going to call this one Blue Wonder.   It is going to a Veteran when it is done.  I just started quilting it last night.  Here goes another one......

Nearly done with Civil War Love Letter blocks!!

There are now two (2) left to sew together, 3 to iron and get scanned in and then I will have completed all 121 blocks of the Civil War Love Letters.  I'm pretty excited about it.
It has been a long, long journey which started in October 2009.

I have wanted this purse done for many years now.

Two more are cut out and ready to be assembled but it will be awhile before they are done

Everything about this purse is just perfect.

Finally got the purse made!



Having bought the Indygo pattern 4 years ago and thanks now to a workshop at the new Wabash Valley Quilts store, I have made my first purse.
