Shadows - Quilt of Valor

 May 12th, just beginning!

Cutting out 6" blocks, 1.5 and 2" strips

Sunrise - Quilt of Valor

Only half quilted, diagonally from the left.

To build the sandwich and stitch this

it has to be in pieces. I'll post again with finished photos!

 

Raised Garden

Doesn't look like much but is it heavy!

Tomato plants, melon and strawberries

Hopefully to keep the critters out

 

Rebuilding Pages

 Looks like changes to blogger is causing pages and photos to mis-align. I will have to carve out time to rebuild several pages, soon!

Sunset - Quilt of Valor

 This is the next quilt going together, for another veteran who served in Vietnam.

1/2 quilted, this is Sunset. Awaiting the return of my sewing machine to finish!

Until Viking returns my machine I am stuck!

Aurora Borealis Log Cabin Quilt of Valor

The binding is stitched on but can't be finished

I usually add fun fabrics, they are in the binding

 I've been working on this one for a little while now, and should have it all the way to binding tomorrow. Of course, it will then sit until I get my good sewing machine back from the Viking repair at Joann's, going on 6 weeks now...

Quilts of Valor for a Couple of Cousins

 This is the first quilt, the second will be very similar, just the colors switched from blue and red to red and blue! There are little videos (reels) on Facebook for a couple of the quilts I've been making, sort of the steps in the process, a how-to.

Laying out gives me a chance to change things.

Bigger pieces than I usually use, shorter make time.

Reflected Lights on Water

They are different, just not much!

Quilt of Valor for a Stranger

 We met someone, who shared that he had served in Vietnam, and then 30 years in the service. Once my machine comes back from the shop (they've had it longer than a month now, with no updates!!) I will get this one finished (the binding turned and completed) and on it's way!

It's in halves here, to quilt it more easily

The back, I prefer a busy back!

Stephen's Quilt and Onward

Stephen's quilt was finished, up to the binding turn and sew down. My Viking machine isn't working correctly, and needs to go in to the shop to be fixed. I will be finished and sent as soon as I can!

Cutting out the next Quilt of Valor

Completing it! It's in halves, to better quilt it.

 

Pillow Slip for Don

I saw this at the fabric store, and it just said, "Don needs this to put some pillows it with his quilt!" So, I picked it up and built a King/Double pillow case, and put it in the mail.

 

Phil's Quilt of Valor, Plus!

Phil's quilt is coming together, another QOV, I have the small square blocks assembled for a quilt for a nieces birthday, and as you can see, another couple quilt tops waiting in the wings! 

The third quilt using this pattern, to get enough variety in the blocks of 49 small squares. I have another in the wings, but a for a family member, not a Quilt of Valor, which is what these all are.
 

Cory's Quilt of Valor (Feb 2024)

Cory's Quilt of Valor is very like his grandfather, Don's, on purpose!

Cory's Bound

The Back of Cory's

 

Quilted Vest (January 2024)

From an idea that occurred to me and changed frequently as I worked on Don's Quilt. This went out to my niece. 

I hope she likes it and gets good use out of it. 

 

Quilt of Valor For My Cousin Don (January 2024)

Don is a Vietnam Vet, and this went out to him in January!
 

Figment Change Purse (Dec 2023)

I've gotten behind on posting, My laptop died making it hard to get out here. I'm picking up a new one soon! This goes with the Figment Purse on the earlier post.
