sao’s Quilty Stuff
Posted By drsao on October 25, 2009
I haven’t done a lot of quilting lately. It seems that I have been a bit preoccupied looking at the beautiful fall foilage in far away places – among other things!
So now seems like a good time to get caught up….here are a few of the things that I have been working on…..that I can show. I have a CHALLENGE QUILT finished for Hospitality Quilters – and it is a secret for now!
THIMBLEBERRIES 2009
I think I am caught up now with both the September and October assignments completed! 🙂

30’s Club Star Quilt
The September and October Blocks are finished – but wait – you say that you see not TWO but THREE BLOCKS. Well, I had a bit of spatial difficulty and since I had used authentic vintage 30’s fabric – I just had to do it over. So now I have an extra block!

The OCTOBER MISTAKE with GOOD FABRIC!!

Country Piecemaker’s BOM MYSTERY BLOCKS
The final two blocks of the Country Piecemaker’s Block of the Month Mystery Quilt are ready – and in December we will get the instructions for how to put it together!!! My embroidery skills were less than stellar so I abandoned making the Bunny Hill Quilt – however I did use the three blocks that I had made in this Mystery Quilt – I thought it was a great place to use these orphan blocks!!!!
Yes, these are Bunny Hill Blocks RECYCLED!

Double Delight FINISHED
I am DELIGHTED to announce that I have finished my DOUBLE DELIGHT QUILT – this was designed by Bonnie K. Hunter of Quiltville.com and quilted by Sara Parrish. LOVE LOVE LOVE it! That is Oreo *the cat* peeking around the bottom corner of the quilt! The quilt FEELS so GOOD – it has bamboo batting in it and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it – I am enamored with the little 1 1/2″ squares throughout the quilt!
Double Delight FINISHED!!
Star Struck Quilt
I took another quilt to Sara Parrish this weekend too. I FINALLY FINISHED my Star Struck Quilt (I took a class with Bonnie K. Hunter when she was at the Williamsburg Colonial Piecemaker’s Quilt Guild during the summer – 2008!!!) I was proud of myself for saving all of the little corners that you cut off in the process of making the blocks. I made pinwheel blocks and put them into both the border of my quilt top and I used them on my scrappy back……LOVE BONNIE K. HUNTER inspired scrappy backs! This is fabric left over from my Birth of a Sampler Quilt – Victorian Holiday – I think it is pretty!!!

Sarah’s 2nd Cat Quilt
And last but not least, I helped Grandangel Sarah 10 put together her 2nd Cat Quilt. She QUILTED it all by herself. I only gave directions on this one. She was so proud!!! She sure had fun choosing the decorative stitching on my Brother sewing machine!!!

Oh my goodness…you have been very busy there! Love your Double Delight and the star quilt (and the back…wow!). ENjoy your finished quilts!
