Beatrice is done!

 Even tho' this is a UFO it seems I never even mentioned starting or even working on this quilt.  In May of 2024 this became a flimsy. I am sure I started this around January of 2024 while in Arizona but I can't even find photos to document it except for the flimsy photo in May of 2024. This was a stack of Fat quarters with the addition of the gold for stars and their neutral background. 


The quilting and binding happened last month. Why I waited so long to finish it is a mystery as I really love the finish.  The all over hook swirl design to the rescue. The pattern is Beatrice by Villa Rosa Designs. I love their little card patterns which are pretty quick and easy to whip up. 


I got behind in taking photos because the weather was so icky and I wasn't motivated!! Since being home from vacation I have gotten caught up on photos so there will be more to post as time allows;)


So happy to have another UFO finished!

Glad to have more finishes

So glad to have 4 more finishes to show you today, and really glad to have them out of my closet!  I have been showing you so many little baby quilts lately so I am going to switch things up a bit-these quilts are a tad larger :-)  These will go to project Linus since they are small lap sizes.

This is a Villa Rosa design, I love those sweet little laminated cards. If you need a quick easy quilt you really need to check these out. For a while our local quilt shop was having a monthly VIP and we got a free pattern from Villa Rosa just for attending! But all good things must come to an end and she now has a different program.

I freehanded a curly half flower design on it. I had extra green 2.5" strips so I have a scrappy green binding.



















This was a preprinted Mother Goose panel and I added the diamond red and yellow border along with the blue ones.  This panel was really wonky so I had a hard time when squaring it up, so it's their printing not my cutting/sewing-just so ya know, LOL



A disappearing nine patch with butterflies, I used the Angel Wings pantograph to quilt it because it looks like butterfly wings to me :-)


























And another preprinted panel. I bought this one several years ago, when I was pretty new at longarming, so I could practice Pam Clarke techniques and never did it till now. Since then, I have learned I like free handing all overs or doing custom block work with rulers best. So that is what I did-all ruler work on this one. I used one of Renae Haddidin's amazing arc's for the block,  a smaller curved ruler for the flying geese border and a small squiggle ruler for the blue sashing.  I did piece and add the top and bottom (red and yellow) half square triangle borders along with the blue ones so it would have a little more length.

























There are lots of inspiration in the linky parties each and every week, and we all love it when you come look and maybe even leave us sweet comments ;-)  So go get inspired by checking out the links on the left side bar!
