Here is my newest project! I have a little appliqué to do, then the quilting! I may use this for Small Quilts club, but don't know for sure yet!
- Posted using BlogPress from my iPad
Thanks Debbie and Gayle! Deb, it actually went really quick, with the paper piecing, because I really don't have much patience! That's why I have sooooo many unfinished large projects! Small ones suit me, since I don't get bored with them! Gayle, they are 6" blocks! I also have done some 3" houses! Used the pattern from my house and willow quilt in the first issue of the magazine! Just shrunk it down! Thanks again ladies!
I'm a mother of 2 mostly grown children,(college age)and married to a great husband! I own a wonderful Quilt and Rughooking shop with my Sister Gretchen, called The Woolen Willow! We started with an online business called "The Rughooking Store" in 1999 and opened the brick and mortar shop in 2004. We moved our shop from the two story older home into a larger building about a year and a half ago, and added a gift and craft shop, to equal somewhere around 4000 square feet of great shopping! We have a lot of classes and fun! I design hooked rug patterns, and quilt patterns. Using wool in my quilts is something I really love to do! The wool is all hand-dyed in our shop sometimes on a daily basis. My Husband is an Electrician, and we have been married for 26 years! We get along great and have a lot of fun.

So cute! What size are your blocks? I've been paper piecing 3" houses and having lots of fun going through my scrap baskets!
ReplyDeleteThanks Debbie and Gayle! Deb, it actually went really quick, with the paper piecing, because I really don't have much patience! That's why I have sooooo many unfinished large projects! Small ones suit me, since I don't get bored with them! Gayle, they are 6" blocks! I also have done some 3" houses! Used the pattern from my house and willow quilt in the first issue of the magazine!
