Some round wedges are totally done!!

I had some time on Sunday and got these 2 round wedge toppers bound-I still have a few more to do so stay tuned for those, LOL

For this one I chose prints that say Christmas but don't scream it, they are also ones that could be out any time of year if that was your color scheme. They were fun to piece and fun to quilt, lots of ruler work on my Nolting longarm. I love how the quilting almost makes it look like pleats in the round. If you click on the pix you will get a closer look at that.

The center circle is appliqued on using the interfacing sewn to the right side of the green and then clip interfacing and turn it, position it and iron it down. Then I chose a tiny blind hem type of applique stitch from my Janome Horizon 7700 to applique it down.
It measures in at 28" just the right size for my table, but I didn't make it for me! All of the round ones are for sale, as are most of what I make :-)
I was so surprised to see I was featured on Freemotion by the River blog today-great way to start the day!! Thanks Connie!

 And a fall wedge topper that measures 36"-it turned out a little bigger than I was hoping but I am sure it will fit someones table!  This was the first one I made and I was trying to scale it down from the original tree skirt size and forgot to take into account that the wedges don't meet right in the middle, LOL Live and learn :-)
The quilting on this was freehand hook swirl, an easy forgiving design that is fun to do and leaves great texture.

This little quilt you might recognize as a free pattern from Connie at Freemotion by the River.Thanks Connie-it was a fun little quilt to make up. This will be donated to our local Neonatal unit.

Merry Christmas everyone!!
Wow my first blog post, never thought I would be doing this, LOL. But with all my crafting I thought I'd give it a try. Not sure how often I will be able to update, but will do as time allows.
Sure wishing our son and his fiance would have made it down for Christmas but the weather in Minnesota is just not cooperating for that to happen. However our daughter and her hubby, who live across town, will be over for dinner tonight, so that will be nice.
I am so excited that my dear, sweet,generous hubby is getting me a Nolting quilting frame for Christmas. I have been quilting on a Super Quilter table top frame for close to 7 years now. First I had a Juki sewing machine on it for a year and a half, then moved up to the Nolting 16" Hobby Quilter on it when DH built me a wonderful sturdy base to put it on. After another year and a half Nolting came out with the Funquilter 17". Nolting machines are the greatest! Since we have empty nested DH finally agreed to let me turn our son's old room into my new quilting studio. I had been quilting in the basement, but will now be on the second floor in a much better environment. And since we could not get the old base up all those stairs and around corners he decided he would get me the new frame, which should take about 3 weeks to arrive. So I am painting the room tomorrow(I think). I will also move my stamping stuff up there. So lots of work ahead so it is all done when the frame arrives and I can get back to quilting.
