I started my day putting a few stitches in this block for my Happy Days quilt.....
This is a difficult block for me, but I'm pretty happy with it. The bird's eye is not actually done yet, I think I will embroider her eye instead as I don't think I could do a good job appliquing such a small circle!
It just needs a few leaves and a musical note (which also looks difficult!). At the rate I'm going, I may have this quilt completed in the next month!
This week I had a fun quilt on the longarm. A group in the Haldimand guild had an exchange this past year. The ladies chose their own theme and made a row for their quilt....then they exchanged quilts through the year 'til they finally got it all back to sew together into a quilt top.
Here is this one....a snowman-themed quilt.....
I couldn't get the bottom row to fit into the picture, sorry.
As soon as I showed my three-year granddaughter the pictures, she said, "Olaf!!!"....
....and, yes, Olaf is in the quilt....
Here are other highlights of this so-cute quilt....
I just did a nice windy-looking freehand design which enhanced the quilt, but also allowed me to watch out for the embellishments....which would have been difficult if I had quilted using a pantograph.
I will deliver this quilt today. The piecer is a relatively new quilter, and I think she is going to absolutely love her quilt!
I am linking up with Lorna for Let's Bee Social, and with Silly Mama Quilts for WIP-Works in Progress.
