Wonky Log Cabin/Crocheted Hats

I’ve been working so much the past few weeks that my sewing has had to take a back seat….I hate that, but with Wayne being home with a broken ankle, I guess it’s a good thing that I’m able to work as much as I have.

I’ve got all of the retro flower blocks done for two baby quilts, just need to sew them together and add the border and the names….One is spoken for and the other one will just be ready when the next girl baby is born…

I’ve also started on those wedding gifts I spoke of on my last blog….actually one is a birthday gift and the other two will be wedding gifts….these are made from scraps of flannel…which I got a bunch of from my mom’s stash before she died.

And above is the start of the light colored version and below is the start of the darker colored one….

And here is the one I made for Karmon and Clint last fall….these are very fast to make, and don’t require too much skill at all….this would be excellent for a beginning  quilter.

And I’m crocheting on my breaks at work and in the evening when I get home….been selling quite a few of my hats, so I thought I’d better replenish my supply! I just need to decide which of the ear flap hats will be for girls and add the flowers to them.

Happy Quilting!

Emersyn’s Birthday Quilt

 

Well, I got Emy’s quilt done in time for her birthday…it was really a ‘rush’ job, but I got it done…I was very happy with how it turned out too….With the help of my friend Kelly Kreft I quilted this on my new Nolting longarm. Almost every time someone sees this quilt they ask me right away if it’s appliqued….And of course I say absolutely not! This block has 12 curved seams in it…and there is lots of matching seams. I’ve made so many of these, I don’t even pin when I sew the curved seam…

I’ve already got 21 more of these blocks made and I will be making a baby quilt for my sister Susie’s soon- to- be- born granddaughter…I haven’t decided if it will be 12 or 16 blocks, I’ll have to lay it out and see what I think.

I think the next project for me will be two more flannel ‘wonky log cabin’ throws…I’ve promised them to people for their birthday and wedding…If I don’t get on the ball they will be really late!

Off to sew some more!

Happy quilting,

Kris
