Maybe I'll figure it out someday

Maybe someday I'll figure out how to post the pictures that go with the right paragraph. I go to the edit page but just not sure how to do that. So if you're visiting this blog you may have to scroll way down to see all of the post.

Also have been straighteninng up by fabric.....

What I've been doing!

On the right is one of the Linus quilts and on the left is a picture of the dog quilts. Below is the Cowboy quilt.

Well, after starting to sew again, I've been going through bags and fabric and sorting out things I want to take to our Counrty Store at our guild retreat next month and dohave quite a few things. I even went through my X-stitch stuff and have some patterns and things from those drawers too.

I've finished two Linus quilts and two dog quilts for my brother's dogs. Will be visiting him in a week or so and he loves his dogs so thought that would be a good hostess gift. I also made the Cowboy Quilt which is really a lesson in recycling. The cowboy fabric was a skirt I bought at a thrift store...lots of fabric in the skirt. And the half-square triangles made into pinwheels came from other blocks that I didn't like in a quilt so I took them apart and reused them. Also used a big of blue-jean fabric. Nothing new was used for this quilt so it really is a "green" quilt. It's for my daughter's girlfriend's son who loves cowboys. Very retro fabric!

I've been trying to finish up quilts that are almost done and have about ten to be quilted. Some have backings ready to go and I've even cut batting for them...just need to start quilting them.

I've also been doing some X-stitch. Years ago I had done some Mary Engelbreit X-stitch and was going to put them in a quilt. Well, I unearthed them and decided to do a few more smaller ones to go with it and then I'm going to put them in a quilt and put them on the twin bed for when Cady comes to visit me. I think she'll love the pictures and the colors.
