Finally Sewing

It has been wonderful this week to finally get back to my sewing machine following weeks of dyeing fabric (which I also love). Below are some lovely blocks that my friend Judith gave me years ago. I decided to make them into potholders and I quilted them this afternoon...






Simple quilting for these 6" blocks which will be bound--yes, I actually sew on a real binding.
When we were preparing for the East Cobb Quilt Show I needed to have some quilts quilted for the wall samples, so I bartered with my friend Frances for quilting services. Here's part of one of the pieces she quilted...

Lovely! The flowers match some of the Kaffe Fasset fabric in the 9-patches. This 25" square quilt got a binding this week, too.

One last new item...Bill's latest rust dyes. They just keep getting better all the time...

We call these the mummies. I'll get some better photos later because there are wonderful details that look like arrowheads and lizards.

The leaf quilting design is nice!
