Posted By drsao on March 15, 2010
The first one is the MILKY WAY from Augusta Cole’s Cutting Bee this January…….love it, Augusta! This one is for Blake, my grandangel who is graduating from high school in California this spring!

I also got my Star Struck Quilt bound – this is a Bonnie Hunter creation and you can get the pattern free from Bonnie Hunter’s website at www.quiltville.com. Susan, at Quilter’s Corner, picked the fabrics from a VINTAGE HOLIDAY COLLECTION that was originally purchased for my Birth of a Sampler Quilt (a Sherry Whitford pattern!) I love my Star Struck and am glad to have finished it!! Thanks to Sara for quilting it!!!

And I must admit I am getting quite fond of my Bonnie Hunter inspired scrappy backs!

OK – now for the third quilt that came home finished. THIS IS MY EMERALD MOMENT FROM QUILT CAMP. I am deliriously happy. Susan, of Quilter’s Corner, did the binding for me……for no reason at all – just to be nice. Now, those of you who know me – REALLY KNOW ME – know that I am currently trying to engage in positive thinking in order to establish a LOVE OF BINDING. I have a new mantra…I love to BIND, I love to BIND, I love to BIND. I am a FIRM BELIEVER in positive attitude as a precursor for change – however my LOVE OF BINDING is developing slowly and I am SOOOOOOOOOOO THRILLED that Susan bound this for me. It is a Dorothy Young RAISING CANE Mystery Quilt hosted by POCKET FULL OF MYSTERIES this year! THANK YOU SUSAN!!!!!

The binding of the quilts was a major source of happiness for me, but I really enjoyed a couple of other projects at Quilt Camp.
I finished all of my blocks for MAD CITY MAMA (another Bonnie Hunter design from her new book LEADERS AND ENDERS!) I am naming my quilt MAD CITY GRANDMAMA!

AND TA DA….I finished 55 blocks for my Curved Log Cabin Quilt – an Augusta Cole quilt……love these blocks, Augusta….and I have developed a new appreciation for accuracy. The light colored strips are only 1 inch wide!!!

And last, but not least, I made three pillowcases for the Million Pillowcase Project….

I enjoyed your web site. I am going to Wakefield this year, and hope to finish a few wall hangings, maybe 2 quilts as well. Thank you.
