Finishes Finishes!!!

I've been doing a little quilting and projects were finished!

The first project is wool work and not quilted. Like Father, Like Son is a pillow that I made using a Primitive Gatherings Kit. I actually had this done in time for Christmas.

I enjoy wool work and this 16" square pillow was pretty quick to make. The back is black wool which came in the kit.

I made Bursting In Air from a Riley Blake Table Topper Kit. I was attracted to the box that the kit came in 

and when I looked closer, I liked the kit too! 

I used a 'plain' red fabric on the back 

and I quilted this on my domestic Juki. 

This little quilt will stay with us.

Size:         36" by 36"

Thread:    Aurifil 40wt thread, top - Dove Gray 2600

                 back - Red 1103

Batting:     Dream Cotton                                           
Quilting:    Straight lines

Postage Stamp with Lights and Darks is made with 2.5" square. I decided I had plenty of light fabric scraps to use in this quilt rather than using white yardage. 

I enjoy making these quilts with 2.5" squares and I hope the recipient might find a few unexpected I-Spy sightings in this donation quilt. The back is a 'plain' red fabric. 

I enjoy quilting quilts like this on the long arm when I quilt a loop in each square - it's very zen for me.

Size:         60" by 60"

Thread:    Glide 50-wt, top - 10877 Sterling

                 back - 70187 Ruby

Batting:     Dream Cotton                                           
Quilting:    Loop de loop with a loop in each square

Partly Sunny is another donation quilt. 

I have an abundance of red scraps (still) and decided some kind of string quilt would be good. Since I needed to cut all of the pieces and there was a 2.5" strip in the pile, I chose to cut all of the pieces 2.5" wide. Then I made long foundation strips in various sizes and sewed them together.

I felt that a little interest was needed with all of the red, so I added some yellow pieces. 

The backing is red with a deeper red swirl.

Size:         60" by 72"

Thread:    Glide 50-wt, 70187 Ruby

Batting:     Dream Cotton                                           
Quilting:    Loop de loop with a single and double loops

I've made a dent in my works in progress but there's still quilts to have binding sewn and still quilts that need to be quilted and I need to figure out a graduation quilt. I have a quilt retreat coming up and hope to come home with more finishes.

Health update:

We survived Covid. Now, I think, we are recovering from Covid Rebound. We may need to go visit the doctors again next week. At least we both feel some better.
