Wild in the Wilderness Part 2

Almost a year ago now I purchased 2 panels of 
Wild in the Wilderness. I made the first one into a wall hanging for my son's birthday and yesterday I finished the second one making it into a quilt for YKW. Both the border prints are animal footprints that are very appropriate for this quilt. When I quilted it I did some thread painting and also tried to make the mountain come to life a little.

You can just make out YKW's slippers on the bottom of the photo.  There is a lot of snow on our deck right now so I am unable to go outside to hang the quilt for picture taking.  We had no snow until a few weeks ago and then we got slammed.

Maria finished her Max & Whiskers quilt for her grandson for Christmas.  She added a piano key border to the top and bottom to make it bigger and put cornerstones with the families initials.  Ryan has to try to make words from all the letters and is rewarded when he finds new words.  She used Max & Whiskers flannelette for the backing.

Another Great Therapy Session on Tuesday

There were just 3 of us this week and a lot was accomplished by all of us.

Pierina's new grand-daughter is going to have a lovely Christmas stocking that she can fill with all kinds of goodies.

She is appliqueing the Santa on and putting

a patch on the toe.

 

Santa nicely appliqued.

 

Maria has been working on her letters for Ryan's Max and Whiskers

quilt.

 

 

She is ready to applique now and then add

the piano key border.

 

I am working on my Christmas Cushions and have

the flying geese sewn on to one of the

center squares.

 

I was able to finish both of them

over the week-end.

 

This pattern is from Moda Bakeshop.  I am really

happy the way they turned out.

They are cushion covers that I put over my

living-room cushions and when Christmas

is over I will take them off and revert

back to my regular cushions.

 

They can  be put away for another year.

Quilt Therapy Time Again

Where are the days going.  It has been two weeks since we were together for Therapy and I can't believe how time has flown by. 

We all had a lot of busy days between sessions and didn't get much quilting done so it was good to sit and concentrate and finally see something accomplished.

Joyce is still working on her 8 placemats.  She was able to finish one and then her next step is to quilt the tops and then sandwich and flip them.

Aren't they beautiful colours?

 

Pierina was able to get a lot done on her bibs and even started a new one.

 

For twin girls.

 

Maria is working on her Max & Whiskers quilt.  She hopes to have it done for Christmas.

 

She is getting a lot of letters ready for

the middle of the quilt.

 

I was able to put the binding on my last 2 placemats for Christmas dinner.  I am having 10 for dinner this year and that is a lot for me.

 

You can see the sun streaming in the windows.

 

I am also going to make the pillow from

The Moda Bakeshop

for Christmas.  Here I am trying to

arrange the squares in a pleasing way. 

This is hard to do when there are 15 squares

and 4 colours. I hope to get 2 finished.

I am planning on making them to slip over the

cushions that I have so that I can just change

up the covers for the seasons.

Yesterday was Tuesday

I haven't blog for a week now because I am still making Christmas gifts and I'm not sure who reads my blog so I have to wait till after Christmas to post some of those pictures.

We had another great therapy session and everyone is really into making new things.

Pierina has finished her small casserole carrier.

Now she is working on baby bibs.  A lot of her friends have new grandchildren.

Cute fabric for bibs for little girls.

Maria is working on a Max and Whiskers Quilt

Four letters completed.

All the letters in this pattern are lower case so

she make her own capital R.

Good work Maria.

Joyce has been working on making

more placemats with the beautiful fabric she

bought in Southern Ontario.

She is making great progress with all 8 of them.

Ooops... I did fix it!!!

I also finished my In Color Order

November Block.
