Probably the last Christmas Quilt of the Season, being December 21, 2011 and all....I loved this quilt, I used the "Snow-Kissed Star" pattern in the latest McCall's Quilting magazine. - McCallsquilting.com. Nov/Dec, 2011 issue.  It is so bright and cheery.  Enjoy.  And Merry Christmas to all.

Christmas -"Snow-Kissed Star"

Great Grand kids - won't Christmas be fun!

Mailings have arrived, Janet got the purple and orange, it looked like Arizona to me, Jeneen got wall hangings, looks like I forgot to take a picture.  She also got the Giraffe, to frame and give to Steph's boys.  Pillows were random gifts, make nice color in a room.  Still working on a blanket but I will keep that.  The table top will be for one of the girls.  Busy...busy....busy.

Christmas

My granddaughters the day before Thanksgiving at Amber's house.  What fun?

Barely finished this Christmas Quilt, put it in the Pastor's office at St Paul UCC in Saline.  Then the floods came and I had to put everything up and stop quilting for a while.  

the Mission Quilt is finally finished.....It any of them ever are.  A few things I would have changed, but that is the quilter talking -----always will do better next time.  Have also started a few Christmas Things, Pillows, wreathe, etc. will post soon.  

Will update with Pictures soon.  Been working hours and hours on the quilt for the Kewadin Mission in Traverse City, MI.  The One Voice gospel choir performed there a second year in October. And I agreed to make a quilt for there social hall.  Also put together a purple/green and orange top that will be done next - then on to christmas.  Been trying to read and get Ideas for small gifts for family.....I know I better get started. 

Post to another Blog

Can anyone explain how to post to my sisters blog

Overalls for my Boys quilt

I have the squares together as you can see, now to get it quilted.  Gospel Choir is touring this next weekend will probably finish there.  This has been a fun quilt, although more challenging than the girls dresses.

I have been working on this baby quilt for a month or two, the baby is not here yet. I will embroider the baby's name after birth.

Doll Dresses finished

Doll Dress quilt finished, the inspiration for this quilt was in the McCall's Quilting Magazine March/April 2010 addition. I finished the dresses as I went along and found it great fun to create as I went along.

OK, so you get the idea, 9 different doll dresses. This block was so fun to make, I will finish it with Lavender in-between each block. And hand quilt.

Quilts

Takes me almost as long to upload the pictures as it does to make the quilts - just kidding. Pink off to Janet's in Breckinridge, CO for the other twin bed. the Blue Table top for Amber's new home.

Now to add the finishing touches for a baby quilt for Stephani.

Too many misquitos to go outside and not enough bug killer to get rid of them so I will stay inside and finish.

two more quilts finished

Weeds in Garden

Weeds will have to stay for now, got hives on my arms, so I am quilting for a while.  Will post picture of new Black and White tomorrow.  New Pink for Breckingridge is taking shape.

Back from Vacation

Back from vacation and should get Quilting, one to finish and two comissioned to start.....Garden needs weeding, where to start......pictures soon.

Table Runner

Getting ready to go on Vacation to AZ and CO, visit with Janet.

Just finished a table runner, greens and yellow - also working on Black and White will publish soon, love it although I should have hand quilted with White Thread would have been easier.

2010-Quilts

confused

I still haven't figured this blog stuff out. I can't sign in on QuiltsbyPatricia, but go to QuiltsbyPJ and "view blog" and you get QuiltsbyPatricia????

This is from my original Blog, Linda (on the left) had a tablecloth her mother had embroidered in the 1960's, didn't know what to do with it. She brought it to me and after much thought, I squared it and quilted it, matching the original colors. She then painted a room for the quilt. We sent a picture to a quilt magazine, but didn't get published.
