In and Out, Start and Finish

With Thanksgiving over,
it was time to take some things out
of the picture

"Turkey Jack"

and bring some other things in.

 With such a short time between holidays,
there's not much time to waste.

Some of the quilts I started recently

are now Finished!

A new flannel quilt

for a big boy bed.

Pretty simple, with
preprinted snowman fabric.

I only wanted to machine quilted between the snowmen.
But the design didn't have straight lines to

follow so I used a serpentine stitch and
aimed for the middle.

A perfect quilt for a little guy to
snuggle under.

The other quilt I had started was 

another simple pattern using 

 blue plaid half square triangles set

together with the Robert Kaufman's

Essex Yarn Dyed fabric that is

55% linen.

Quick and easy.

I machine quilted between the plaids 

and solid, but decided it needs something more
to make it my own.

I pulled out some perle cotton and 

did big stitches to 

define the asymmetrical diagonal pattern even more.

Some 1 1/4 wide blue painters tape was

just the right width.

I threaded two needles 

to work both sides of the tape at the same time and 

easily stitched perfectly straight lines.

Another finish

This is feeling pretty good.

Until Next Time-
