Part #1 America the Beautiful

This is part one in a series of 6 of 'America the Beautiful' sampler Quilt from McCall's Quilt magazine 2011. There are four of us doing this using only our stash. We have given ourselves a year if we need it. It is challenging because you are tempted to purchase that 'right' material.You can see the finished quilt on the sidebar.The names are 'Fields Block'...'Shining Sun Block'...'Barn Block'....Designed by Lynn Lister.

Sampler Plus-Tacoma Challenge

Our quilt group had a drawing to receive 9 blocks and we could finish off any way we decided. These will be finished and displayed at the State of Maine Quilt show in July. I chose to add one more block and then use embroidered flowers that I had purchased at an auction a few years ago, which were made by a fellow quilter in my chapter.

I cut these down to 4" to showcase these as a center for this quilt.

Size is 51" x 65". Great to have it finished!!!

BOM Mini quilt

This is the first in a series of Monthly Mini quilts. 

Designed by Amy Heaton for Coun'try Junk'tion. The nose and Big Button are heavy heat 'n bond. All the other pieces are put on with lite heat 'n bond and then button hole stitched. It was a fun project. Heard about it on Quilt for Us.. I am a member.
