Sheep wallhanging

Patti — Sun, 30 Dec 2012 23:35:27 GMT

While on a shop hop this year, I purchased a kit to make this small sheep quilt. It is about 11"x18". The sheep are appliqued and I used all the fabrics in the kit except for the turquoise cornerstones, which came from my stash. The fabric given for those was almost exactly the same as the fabric for the rectangles that they are sewn to, and didn't provide enough contrast. I machine quilted it with X's on the squares and rectangles, a small stipple around the sheep, and a loopy meander on the borders. I also did SID around the borders and the sheep areas.

Cardinal tote bag

Tote bag has 6 paper-pieced cardinals. This took forever to make! I severely underestimated how long it would take to make it and I'm so glad that it's finally done! There is a cardinal Christmas pin on the front, in case anyone is wondering what that is! This will be a Christmas gift for my husband's aunt.

Quilts for Kids animal quilt

This is a charity quilt, made with a fabric kit sent to me by www.quiltsforkids.org. I'm not crazy about the fabrics, but the pattern was simple and it went together easily. I quilted it on my longarm using a spirals pantograph and the laser light.
