Weekend work

 Got some free-motion quilting practice in on my Bibelot Schnibble.  The quilting isn't great-cats teeth in some places-but at least it's done.  I made a slimmer binding for this-two inches instead of 2.5.  I like the slimmer look.

I'm going to make another one of these Bibelot's in the same fabric but with a different layout.  I just love this combination.

I've gotten a head start on my Easter quiltings.  This is a mini quilt I picked up at the Houston Quilt Festival last fall.  The applique is just fused on right now.  After I finish the Bibelot and it's next rendition I'll get busy on this one.  It came with a ton of cute little buttons.  I can't wait to play with those.

Madeline

I've been wanting to make this Schnibble for a very long time.  This is my test block for Madeline.  I'm using French General Rouenneries-obviously!  French General has a particular shade of red that I just love.  I would decorate my whole house in it if I could.

Finished!

Finally!  I started this in June for AYOS.  It started out as the Leap Year Schnibble but I got tired of making the 36 patch blocks after 13.  So I thought I would try my hand at a log cabin block-and it measured the same size!  So off I went to make 15 of each.  This is American Jane's Happy Campers line.  I used a honey bun and 2 yards of the brown basket weave.  I'm not sure how much of the landscape fabric I used for the border.  I'm happy to have finished this one!

Border tryout

Hmmmmmmm.  Wondering about this border.  I think I will need to bind this quilt in red.

an evening's work

 Here is the finished body of the Leap Year plus Log Cabins quilt.

Below it is shown with a sample of the border fabric.  I wanted to get that done tonight too but I'm too tired to do it properly.

Doc!

 I didn't think I liked this Schnibble.  But after seeing so many Docs around blogland it grew on me.  I thought it was too complicated and I wouldn't be able to make it.

 I appreciate folks who showed how to lay it out before sewing.

 It sure helped to keep checking as I went along. 

 Isn't it cool how it goes together?  I can't get over how it works.








I really needed a runner for Gma's china hutch and I definitely wanted one for summer!  So here is my RWB Doc Schnibble!  It is mostly Jo Morton fabrics with one or two scraps of other fabric.

Pieces

Started cutting last night-I'm hoping to make the Tiny Town ed of the Full House Schnibbles.  Cut up all these little pieces-and my index finger on my left hand!  At least I didn't bleed on the fabric.
