Another Geoff's Mom pattern.
Karen, the Log Cabin Quilter, is where I first saw this quilt and then my friend, Lin, also made it. Her's hangs at TOWQS and has been a huge success. The kits for the quilt have been flying out the door!
I will be helping a group of ladies construct this quilt over the next 4 months and this is my first row. The lettering is done in wool and I used Aurifil's Lana 12/2 wool thread to machine blanket stitch it down. I had wanted to try it and this was the perfect project to do so. It handled so nicely and did not fray or break. It made quick work of what could have been a very long process if done by hand. I will be machine appliqueing this one as well. You can see the full quilt here. My version will not be as prim as I will be using more cotton prints and fewer homespuns.

We spent the first week of the new year in Colorado rollicking in the snow. I purposely left all my sewing projects behind, but managed to make a little progress on a McKenna Ryan landscape quilt I have been working on for several years. It is made from batiks and is all raw edge applique. Really just lots of detailed cutting, but choosing the fabrics is the best part. Sorry, I did not take any pictures of it. I won't work on it again until this summer.
Here is the stocking my DD and I designed and constructed for my granddaughter in those last days before Christmas. Quick, simple, but we love it.
During the holidays, I loved seeing all the red and green quilts in blogland and on Pinterest. Therefore, I have added one to my blockhead projects and will start on the first block today. I have the solid red and cream fabrics, but have not found a perfect green yet. Any suggestions?
Here is the EQ7 image.
The perfect pairing of piecing and applique for me. It was inspired by Kim Diehl's Idaho Lily. I am still keeping my eyes open for her new club.
Oh, it is nice to be home in my sewing room!
