I'm back and here are two projects to show you-Carpenter Star and Pink Scrap Quilt

Hello, I'm back. I didn't realize it had been so long since I had posted on my blog.  I post every month on the other blog I do for my quilt group (Sew What's)....This has been a hard year for me.  I've just done what I needed to do. I have been feeling bad all year so I've only done what I was required to do....My computer has been giving me trouble too and I've been fighting with it alot too. I almost decided to quit blogging but I went back and looked at what I have done over the years and it helped me to remember things...so, I decided it was important that I continue to blog.  I have been working on alot of things but I haven't finished alot of things yet.  I am in several swaps and they are going on all year..I am working on alot of scrappy quilts just so I can not waste any of my scraps.  I've felt overwhelmed but I'm getting over that and just trying to enjoy my sewing and quilting again. 

Here are two quilts I have finished this year.  I finished this one a few weeks ago and gave it to my niece. Her favorite colors are turquoise and brown so that's why I made her this one.  This pattern is by Debbie Maddy of Calico Carriage.  I took a workshop earlier in the year and made me a quilt top out of this pattern and I'll be quilting it soon.  I looked and looked through my patterns and books until I remembered I had this pattern and thought it would do good for the fabrics I bought for her.  Anyway, I did this one and Jeni loves it.  I think it turned out pretty good.  I'm going to probably make another one too for my sister (her Mom). I like this pattern because you can use fat quarters for it. I bought yardage and I have enough to probably make two quilts. so I might make me one too..We'll see...

This is the Carpenter Star pattern.

This is just a little scrap quilt I finished.  I'm going to keep it for my new grandbaby coming in December.

That's it for now, more to come later.
