A couple of quilting projects I have finished.

I found this pattern in a quilting magazine and loved it. The three sunflowers were kind of like making three tiny quilts and attaching them to the larger quilt. Complete with quilting and binding. I love the 3D effect. Which you can't really see in the picture.

Here is a shot of the quilting, which I did on my Bernina. I didn't enjoy it as much as using the long arm, but I'm also not sure I could have done this kind of quilting with the long arm. I would like to blow up one of the daisy patterns and make it into a larger wall quilt. I think it would be a good way to show people how to be creative with the patterns the buy.

I never finished the complicated paper pieced nativity quilt that Beth and Debbie and I worked on on one of our quilt retreat weekends. Debbie and Beth both have theirs done, and they are beautiful. Anyway, I bought this the last time Beth was here for a visit. We found a quilt store next to a yarn shop in Aiken SC. Woo hoo. I love the buttons. All of the fabric is from my "stash" which makes Robert happy.

I finished the binding for these quilts in the car on the way to Atlanta for our flight to Houston. My friend Debbie would be proud, not only are both of these quilts applique, but the binding was done by hand. Now if she could just talk me into needle turn applique.....

There is something to be said for small wall hanging quilts.
