There’s so many things you can do with a machine and fabric, that I have a problem with keeping at one project at a time….
Here is the Fire hosta island top , I still have the one side to finishe up,I have all the difficult parts done.
Did this dress for my great niece. She was needing some school dresses. I finished up two for her.
This is a queen size top that I put together on my trip. It will be tied and given to a young couple that are to be married in April. They will be livening in Montana,so I will put heavier batting in it than what I would for hand quilting.
Once again the scrap box was fussing that it was sitting on the shelf for too long! These melons are fun to make, and before I knew it,I had made a stack of them. I really like doing the stitching around them. I had to make a starch out of Epsom salt to stiffen the bottom fabric for it wanted to ripple at the corners way too much. And I didn’t have enough regular starch..Works great, This is a 12.5 ” block.

Oh my goodness–that first photo, of the fire hosta, is amazing! Is that paper pieced? It must be right?

You’re right ,most of it is paper pieced. It will made a nice sized quilt at 100″ by 100″. Probably take me two years to hand quilt it.:)

Sheryl, thank you! I really don’t know if I could ever stick to one project… When I get tired of one I go to another. Is that called attention deficit? 🙂

Love the strip pieced melons and the tip about Epsom salts. I often starch my fabrics for machine piecing so will give it a try. Thank you.
