Turtle Quilt By Linda H.

This is what Linda said about the quilt: "Here are some pictures of the turtle quilt. The quilt pattern was from a book called Oh, Happy Day by Corey Yoder. It was called Slow Down. The quilt in the book had a blank square centre top and bottom which seemed too plain so I devised a smaller turtle to put there. The back of the quilt is a textured mint green which looks a bit washed out in the photo." I think Linda's quilt turned out great, I love it!

Donation Quilt

I'm ahead of the game for a change, the gift isn't needed until December. :) This quilt is going to be given to an local organization who collects and distributes donated gifts and toys for Christmas, I gave one to them last year and it was well received, so I'll continue donating to the cause. The fun print on the border fabric would be suitable for a young child. The quilt is large enough for a single bed.

Birthday Cake Placemat By Linda H.

One of the members of Linda's quilting group had a birthday on one of their weekly quilting days. Linda made a placemat as a gift for the occasion. What a great idea!

Potholders

I recently had a request for some potholders. Since the person doesn't care for patchwork, I made a set of plain ones. Hopefully, these will be accepted.

Crocheted Afghan

I just finished weaving the ends in on this crocheted afghan. When I'm not making quilts, I'm usually crocheting or knitting. This afghan is large enough to completely cover up with and is nice and thick. It will come in handy this winter, it's too hot to use it right now. :)

Starting A New Project

I've got 24 more blocks to make, then there will be enough for this quilt top. The pattern is called "The Ruth Quilt", by Erica Jackman. The blocks will be set on point with grey sashing between them. It's just a simple pattern but the white background makes the colours pop.

It's Cabin Time

We arrived a week ago. It takes a bit of time to get things settled and the garden planted. The Patterson-Gimlin Quilt is hung on the wall. I started making it here at the cabin last summer. When we leave after the summer season, I'll take the quilt down and put it in a Rubbermaid bin so it doesn't get dusty and cobwebbed.
