Here's Allietare as a finished top. This one was the most fun I've had with a "mystery quilt" designed by Bonnie Hunter! Still probably 2,000 pieces but mostly half-square triangles (HST's) so I could have another chance to master them. I still have a way to go but they're getting better!
And today I finished this baby quilt - I'm calling it "Lucky Petals". I appliqued the petals onto the white squares and then I quilted this one using my walking foot and lots and lots of stitching. The little flowers in the white areas remind me of 4-leaf clovers, thus the name. Now, I simply need to find a little girl who might need a quilt!!
I surely enjoy this "hobby" "passion" of mine! I know it gets expensive to keep buying fabric and then simply piling up the quilts when finished. I try to find homes for them and I think this one will actually be going to the local Cancer Center. It fills my heart knowing they might be used and loved for a long time.
Think I might have to get a job! I wonder if anyone would be interested in hiring a 68 year old without a lot of skills - except, of course, for her "passion"?
On to scrappy tops now! I'll work on emptying some tubs and that will make me feel "thrifty"!!!
