Quilts For Quilt Show in October

I have been busy getting lots of quilts finished for the show in October, some new ones for etsy, and some to give to Hospice House and Sally House.








At this time, I want to show the ones I'm putting in the Show.



The Mariner's Compass is at last quilted. I taught myself to do fre mothin feather's before I tried it on the actual quilt. It has a feather border and feathers around the compass.





I am also showing a paper foundation pieced heart quilt, The pattern is from Feb 2008 Quiltmaker magazine. I got the magazine in Dec 2007-when I was in the middle of sewing Chritmas gifts. It motivated me to get them done so I could make this quit!














Backyard Birdhouses is another one that is paper foundation pieced. The pattern is from a book I checked out at the wsq library. It was alot of fun to make.














The Pines and Vines Sampler is from a pattern of the month club I belong to. I love the varitey of patterns and techniques it has.
