Third row and bottom border on...just in time

It was down to the wire. I leave today for Long Island for my father's wedding. I finished the last row yesterday. Got up early this a.m. and put on the bottom border:

I am really pleased with how it came out. Now to just get everyone to sign it! I have also added a detail of one block with my signature:

Can you see what I wrote? It says: "To Pat and Denis, Good luck as you embark on this journey of marriage. Happiness and joy! Love, Patty Anne, Marty, Catherine & Lizizie".

After the wedding I'll post pictures with more signatures from the guests. I am also going to add a border before I make the quilt sandwich. Love how it came out!

Second row of signature quilt

Well the heat is on! I finished the second row over the weekend and here it is:

Looking good, huh? Gotta run to get more finished. Maybe I'll get the borders on before Friday. What do you think?

Charm Square Market Bag

I had been working on this bag for myself in my weekly Wednesday class. I tried to complete it on my own but my teacher Cathy Bodio altered the pattern and I could not make it work. Soooo last night I went to class at http://www.emmasquiltcupboard.com/ to work out the kinks with my teacher. Here is the result:

I LOVE this bag. I used the Moda Le Petit Poulet charm pack for the outside. I purchased it from http://www.greenfairyquilts.com/. I found them through Facebook and have bought pre-cuts from them. I'd highly recommend that you add them to your on-line quilt shop list!

First Row of Signature Quilt

I got the first row completed for the signature quilt:

I have two more rows to complete. I did some more cutting this morning and hopefully I'll get to some sewing over the weekend. I only need to have it all done by next Friday. YIKES!

Signature quilt in process

Well finally started cutting the material for the signature quilt that I am making for my father's wedding. The quilt is called "Ties that Bind" and it is from Keepsake Signature Quilts by Sally Saulman.

I only have 8 more blocks to go. Need to have it done by July 27th. I think I can have it done. Anyone recommend pens to use for the signing?

Label for Janie's quilt

The quilt I made for Janie was super easy. I got the pattern from Bradie Sparrow. She offered it for free on her website http://quiltcetera.wordpress.com/. If you are a beginning quilter I'd recommend that you follow her on the blog or on FB. She has excellent patterns!

Here is the picture of the label:

Windowpanes Quilt

I wanted to just share the finished product!
