'QuilTuesday'--Sharing Sewing Class Projects

Hello!!! Before I share all the sewing projects. I wanted to let you know that one of my projects was featured on another blog. I made this precious painted toy chest using an old headboard.


  If you didn't see it before,you can see it here. Kathy at A Delightsome Life was kind enough to choose my project this week. Hope you'll check out her blog here! She has a weekly Home and Garden Thursday with lots of great ideas from the blog world.





Onto the sensational sewing shares--
It was another busy,productive day in the sewing circle class. There were a lot of sewing projects and quilts to show off! First of all, Diane finished her scrappy batik quilt and it's got binding and everything. Gorgeous!
 
 
 
 
 
 
                                       
Sharon has been sewing up a storm and finished this darling Heart patch quilt top. Love the sweet fabrics in this one!
 
 
Danielle has made a few of these patchwork bags in bright whimsical fabrics. She's varied the patch size to get different bag sizes. Fantastic colors and patterns in her work!

 I've made a couple of these bags from the same pattern. The large bag is perfect for quilt class. It holds a ton of fabric, a large quilt or supplies. It even works great for the beach or a weekend bag.
 
Mimi has started a quilt using the 'Dresden Plate' pattern.She's got some pretty fabrics and  bright color combinations for this project! Mimi likes to call them 'flowers', you can see why...
 
Linda has been making these cozy blankets. They're large pieces of fleece fabric. 2 pieces are fringe cut, then tied together. Great argyle fabric choice for this one!
 
Diane finished the batik quilt above, then started on these butterfly patches. They're made using freezer paper to cut out the many little parts. Then they are pieced together. What an ambitious project!
 
 Diane also shared this cute, cute, cute bird painted on window screen! She's going to sew it onto a denim tote bag. I need to get this painting pattern!


 
 
Not to be outdone by all the quilts and projects done in class, I thought I would share this quilt I finished a while ago.(Hey, it's my blog!) It's in my guest room and the quilt has a braid pattern. I loved finding all the fabrics, grading them from light to dark.   In my guest room, I  made the pillow case, the patched bolster, the covered headboard, the painted  chair.... I'll be sharing lots of these projects in future posts.

Quilting and the Sewing Circle Show Off

Good Morning ! Welcome to Sunset Coast. Today is all about quilting. Every Tuesday I attend a class of fun women, our 'Sewing Circle'. We bring whatever project we want. Most of us quilt, some make garments, some just visit and talk. It's pretty much anything you want it to be and fun and therapeutic.
Whenever someone is finished with their quilt or quilt top, we pin it up for everyone to 'oooh' and 'ahh' over. Sometimes we pin up our quilt designs and everyone puts in their 2 cents and opinion on how things should be arranged or completed with borders and suggestions for binding or layout, etc.
 
Tuesday brought us these beauties to  check out...
 
Ginny made this gorgeous 'Fun in the Square Quilt'. She is our resident long arm quilter and did a great job on this one. The pattern of quilting is called 'Angel Wings'. Check out the detail on the back too!

 
Diane is working on this pretty, scrappy Batik quilt. She really has a knack with batiks!
 

Jasmin is finishing this Christmas table runner using holiday fabrics. I hope I can share the awesome tree skirt she already made to match.
 
 
Barbara finished her quilt top using a log cabin pattern. Love the modern fabrics and colors. The square arangement really has depth, like windows!

 
 
Cassandra pinned up her quilt squares in shades of blue to check out the arrangement. Louise, our teacher, contributed the nicely appliqued Greek letters. This lovely quilt will be finished up real soon!
 
 
 
Mimi completed this darling quilt made from her son's baby clothes. She's giving it to him to cuddle with . So sweet!
 
 
Lastly, I'm showing off the quilt made by Bobbie. Isn't it wonderful?
Bobbie made this Stars and Stripes pattern, for The Wounded Warriors Project. It will be donated to a worthy veteran. Ginny did the detailed long arm quilting for this also; love the freehand star design!
 Click on this link to learn more about the Wounded Warriors Project and the great work they do.
 
That's it for quilting show and tell today. What projects are you working on? Send me a link if you have one!
 
Have a Cozy Day!
