Another Finish

 I have another finish.  WooHoo!  This quilt was made in memory of my husband's and my trip to Alaska.  I picked up a fabric bundle of "Alaska" fabrics at the Quilted Raven quilt shop in Anchorage.  And using a simple sashing, pieced them together.  I also add a picture of us in Anchorage.  It really was an amazing trip.

My father-in-law made me this quilt rack.  However, he didn't think about how I would hang the quilt and the rod doesn't come out.  So I have added tabs to most of the quilts I make for this area.  I happened to come across these curtain hangers that are perfect.  So it will make the change out even faster.

These rings are the best!  

November Block

 The November block is done.  This is from the 2024 BOM by " A Quilting Life".  The free link is gone, but she has a Resource Page here with information if you are interested.

My First Finish For 2025

 My first finish for 2025, TaDa!

The pattern is called "Hello, Garden" and was designed by Cherri House for Fons & Porter Easy Quilts, Fall of 2012.  The pattern uses a jelly roll and it was the first jelly roll I bought in person at Missouri Star Quilt Company many years ago.  I wished I had kept the tag that showed what fabric line it was along with who designed the fabric, it's one of my favorite color combos.  I love the way it turned out! 

"Catholes" by Sew Fresh Quilts

When Lorna came out with this pattern, I knew I had to make it.  "Catholes" by Sew Fresh Quilts.   It just made me laugh out loud!   I got it finished and it has been gifted.  And it was a success!

I used gray Cuddle minky for the back, which is so soft, just like cat fur.  Took me a while to figure out to organize it, but I finally went with a block at a time.  Otherwise I got pieces confused.   I used cotton fabrics I have been buying for years because they reminded me of cat fur.  And it took some time to find the background fabric.  It's called "Plaster of Paris" by Stephanie Brandenburg/Frond Design Studios.
