Flag wall hanging by Pat

 This is a small wall hanging made by Pat for a friend who served in our military, specifically in Afghanistan.  Thank you sir for your service.

Quilted with "Victory Salute" panto

"Make it do" by me

 While piecing this and 2 other larger quilt tops from these fabrics, I had a really creative name for the series.  That's since been forgotten however.  So, this shall be known as "Make it do."  Not much of a fan of flannel, but when you make jammies and robes for your family members, you end up with scraps.  Too "thrifty" to just throw them away, so I keep them for years first.  Finally cut them into 2 different sizes of squares and just started to stitch them together.  The blue strip on the right side is because I had made the top, then the next morning found several more squares of blue.  As stated above, too thrifty to throw them away so I just added another strip to the side.  It's for a police officer to give away.  

And since I am so thrifty, the backing and batting are leftovers from a previous quilt of mine, and the binding are all scraps in shades of brown from the "binding bag".

So far, it's taking me longer to find an officer to give it to than it did to make all 3 quilt tops in the collection.  Oh well, I"ll find them!

"Pigs Can Fly" by Xande

I hope you were fortunate enough to grow up listening the the band "The Irish Rovers" and their song "Pigs can Swim and Pigs can Fly

Just in case, here's a link.

This is a baby quilt that Xande's friend drew the artwork, then she ran it through her computer program to make the paper piecing pattern. 

Amazing detail in her piecing, although a little difficult to quilt at times because of the bulky seams.  I think worth the effort though.  Can't believer she's gibing this to an infant!

 

Enough extra blocks to make a runner and a throw

Carla made that enormous quilt out of Kaffee Fassett fabrics, and then had enough left to make this throw and a table runner.

Quilted with the same purple thread as the quilt, but a different quilting design.
