COUNTRY ROAD TRIP

It's a quilt...it's a game...comes with 8 machine embroidered cars and a handy little attached pocket to hold a pair of dice.

Whew...I started this back in April or May...finally it is finished and already hanging in the Alliance of the Arts...and it will also be in my Etsy shop soon.





Here is a picture of the back...a really nice road print by Michael Miller, Toy Town Merryville.



These are some close ups.


CLICK...THEN CLICK AGAIN TO ENLARGE


A fun quilt to make!

Thanks for stopping!

MY STRINGS RUNNETH OVER........

I have a whole drawer full of homespun plaids, checks, etc....been wanting to do SOMETHING with them for a long time....found just the right project at http://juliekquilts.blogspot.com/    She has the most gorgeous quilt as her header and I want one too!!  So this past weekend I started cutting...barely made a dent in my stash...


I've made about a dozen blocks so far...I think I may have over cut!  But I'll just keep on making these blocks and see where it takes me.

I also managed to finally get my road game/quilt quilted and bound.  Just need some major thread trimming and I'll show a full picture.  Also got another small quilt to the binding stage.


Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!
