Linda's Flannel BOM

Linda made this quilt and I believe it was a block of the month at Quilter's Harvest. Remember that really cool quilt shop that is no longer in business? It was in an old church in Shadeland, Indiana.

Just a wonderful building to house a shop that specialized in Civil War fabrics. They had lots of other fabrics, too, cute baby fabrics, and lots of homespuns. There was a loft that they hung quilts from and I bought more than one pattern because I saw a quilt hanging there that I just had to make.

While searching for a photo of Quilter's Harvest, I came across this video that I hadn't seen before:

Anyway, back to Linda's quilt...it's flannel, so I didn't want a lot of heavy quilting.

 Lots of angles and some CCs, e's and l's.

 Did I say lots of angles? I didn't quilt the side borders as I went along, but instead, I unloaded it and turned it a quarter turn and re-loaded it so that I could do the length of ruler work with less stops and starts.

Virginia's Block of the Month

Virginia made this Block of the Month from Joann's to give as a Christmas gift. Her piecing is amazing and I love that she stay stitches around all the outside edges. Makes my job a whole lot easier.

E's and L's in the outer borders and the sashing. I alternated the direction of them in the sashing.  I used a Chantilly Lace block design in the blocks and did a meander in the border with the busy fabric.

I thought I had more pclose up pictures, but they's not on my camera. It's on it's way to Virginia via UPS, so I can't take more photos, but maybe she will bring it to Shipshewana next week for show and tell. I can't believe that the retreat is next week already.
