Harvest Moon Quilt



I had a bit of fall fabrics on the shelf so I put this quilt together this week. It just looks like a Harvest Moon to me. You will find snowball corners on each block and mitered corners in the borders. It is off to Joyce Wilkinson of Newhall, CA to be quilted. She does such a beautiful job . . . I can't wait to see what she quilts on it.

Happy Quilting,

Yellow Door, Fall Quilting, Quilting

My sister Joyce is an excellent Longarm Quilter and I am blessed that she quilts my projects for me. She is reasonable and quick so if you need some quilting, let me know, I will put you in touch with her. The quilting on this quilt is beautiful. Click to enlarge so you can see all the details she has put into it.








This is my latest project. A fall quilt from charm squares with falling leaves in the border . . . it matches my Presidential Pardon wall hanging . . . perhaps it will be done by Thanksgiving . . . the beautiful fall colors make the living room just blossom . . . I am excited to have a moment to make something for myself . . . it doesn't happen very often.









I had considered adding the wall hanging behind the door to the open area but have decided it should be filled with glass and become the door to a display case. It would look great with a mirror in it and placed on the hall wall so all who walk down the hall would see themselves but that might become a bit scary. It is a short door that was to a window display. Yellow is a perfect color for this door. I am fortunate to have this bit of history from Miami, AZ.

Fall and Spring patterns







The photos aren't great but I have been working on things. This has been a fun few weeks, choosing designs and fabric for new things for the upcoming Long Beach Show. We leave in two weeks, OUCH!!

I make some cute teacup pincushions and found antique silver pie servers at a great antique shop. Both will be coming with me. Don't you just love real silverware? It makes me think of Grandma and Mom. How I enjoy finding a piece that matches my mothers set.

I am off to make table covers for the show.

Happy Quilting,
