February's Projects Completed


This past month has been quite a busy one for me. I made a table runner and am now working on a crib quilt, both "quilt as you go" with the "batting buddy"  rulers. I will be doing a demo of this ruler and the technique for using it at the next quilt guild meeting.





 My friend Betty and I planned a craft show and sale for the Frontenac Heritage Festival.  Throughout the weekend  we organized several different demonstrations. I showed how to do pin weaving using ribbon, for a cushion front. I completed this project a few days later.
















    I have also finished a crib quilt for my first  grandchild. My daughter requested that it have turquoise in it. I have finished machine quilting it and just need to tack down about half of the binding.

February's Block of the Month from Quilt Doodle Designs

I have been having fun with this block of the month program. Last month we created a row of snowman faces. This month we built a cabin. Some snowflakes will be added during one of the future months. They will be made using yo-yo's. That will be a new skill for me but I think that
they will be a perfect embellishment for this "Chilly Silly Snowman Quilt".  I wonder if  Cindy knew  that we would need to have some fun with the weather during this icy snowy winter???
