Finally, Little Forest Quilt is FINISHED

This was finished on the Friday -but it took me until today to get it posted. 
I really like the binding.  I've always admired a stripe cut on the bias and this is the first time I've utilized that technique.


This is a great size for cuddling up with.

Hubby with his first quilt.
I also have to show you Lynn's quilt. So different than than Hubby's as Lynn at Alamosa Quilter used colorful fabrics.

See, is this beautiful or what?


I especially like that she used round circles for the quilting to go along with the dots on her trees. 
And she made a wall hanging - which is nice.  (Sorry I can't get the picture larger. When I do it blurs out.) 



Remember I found some Halloween fabric at the store - and just had to buy some?  I thought it would be so neat to have Halloween pillowcases.  Here are the girls' pillowcases. (The boys, have to wait - I was tired after making these.)

  I let Violet and Scarlett help sew on the machine.  I think their favorite part was taking out the pins.  I even made Rosanna sew up hers. It was kind of easy - I just told DD to do it.  (hehehe - it's fun to be the Mom.)
 She said he enjoyed doing it, it was relaxing.


You can't see in the picture - but the fabrics are Candy Corn, Pumpkins and Ghosts and Little Black Cats. 


I also made myself a pillowcase.

And Hubby made himself one.
He did not want the little trim fabric.  Imagine that, he has a mind of his own.


And what do you think happened right after I snapped these pictures?  You are right!
Neptune got in the picture!


I think she wants this blog to be about her - not sewing.

Have fun sewing today,
Linda
