Hexie

FORGOT TO ADD I DID NOT MAKE THIS PIECE . I ONLY FINISHED IT WITH BORDER AND BINDING. IT IS HAND SEWN BY SOMEONE UNKNOWN TO ME BUT RECEIVED IT FROM A ANOTHER QUILTER WHO SAID MAYBE YOU CAN FINISH THIS ONE. SHE DID NOT MAKE IT EITHER OR KNOW WHO DID. IT HAS BEEN GIFTED TO OTHER BUT NOW FINALLY DONE. Hello , I have not posted for over a year. I have been busy getting moved and settled into a retirement home. It was a lot more work than expected. I am finally able to get back to sewing and though this one is not yet complete it will be. It's been tied and just needs binding added now.

Quilts for my Grand Nieces

I made two of these Twin size for my Grand Nieces

Scrapy squares

Our quilting group that has been sewing quilts and craft items now for 10 years have so much scape material. Our group has donated over $15,000 in those years to the local homeless shelter and many donation quilts to a pregnancy shelter and a Veteran Rehab center. Our facilitator as she calls herself decided we need to rid ourselves of some of these scrapes , so she has asked each of us to make 15 1/2 size squares of 2 1/2 stripes and 2 1/2 squares in rows. She will then sew them into quilts she said. She asked each of us it would be helpful to make her even just one. So I though OK I can help with this even though I am heavy into other projects. Once I started though it was so fun so made her six squares.

Scrappy Race Track #2

This is Race track # 2 made from left over project materials from the last 10 years. I cut left over material into 2 1/2 , 2 & 1 1/2 inches. I sew the 2 & 1 1/2 together and trimmed to 2 1/2. Then sewed the strips end to end in no order. Took the Beginning end and pulled it though the house to the last end and sewed the length. Cut and repeated until I had a piece rather long but only 45 inches wide. I cut the length in two pieces and added red border to one, posted a few day ago. This one has a black border and I used a printed scrappy design in Christmas for the back and the trim. I love these and will be another donated to the Rehab Veterans nearby us.

Scrappy Race Track

This is made from 10 years of scraps. I cut left over project material into 2 1/2 or 2 or 1 1/2 strips. And some into 5 or 2 1/2 squares. Or fat quarters sometimes. I had enough strips to make 2 quilts. 2nd not just quilted yet. Wil be a donation to VA rehab center. I sew the 2 inch and 1 1/2 inch strips together and trimmed to 2 1/2 to make seams even.
