Christmas Table Runner



The reunion/deer roast quilt is quilted! Now for the binding.

In the meantime, here is a mini tablerunner I made for a friend. She decorates her kitchen with Gingerbread Men.

More of the Deer Roast Quilt



Completed a few rows of the quilt. The top is about half way done in the first picture. The second picture is the completed center without the outer border.

Annual Deer Roast T-Shirt Quilt



This family has had a family reunion/deer roast since 1982. Starting in 1989, the family reunion/deer roast has included a t-shirt. This quilt is made from the t-shirts from 1989 through 2010.

The stack on my work table is the start of the quilt. The next picture is the center square.

More pictures to follow!

Sam


We planted tomatoes this year and we had to figure out how to keep the birds off the tomatoes.

Went to the fabric store and bought tulle (netting). Brought the bag home, set it on my work table and I guess you kmow what happened. Sam had to sit on it!

Shirttails






Here is another quilt in the style of my Grandmother. She was a frugal farm wife in Southern Indiana and a talented quilter. (If you want to see her picture, look at my earlier blogs)

The quilt is made of many Civil War reproduction fabrics. It is a sampler quilt with many different blocks. The outside border is a piano key border and finishes the quilt nicely!
