Love those oldies in a nine patch exchange.

Gillian participated in a 
Nine Patch Exchange a few years ago thru Cock a  doodle Quilts,  a local quilt shop that unfortunately no longer exists. 

Somehow Gillian acquired far more blocks than  any other participant, I know this because I remember quilting another nine patch quilt for Gillian a few years ago.  I will dig up those pictures and blog about it at a later date.

This quilt was  simply quilted  with straight lines.  

Nine patch exchanges are organized amongst a group of quilters over a long period of time.  In the end the entire group should have and equal number of identical nine patch blocks.  Exchanges are a lot of fun and they get rid of last bits of your stash.
 I have been the organizer of a few exchanges, someday I will  blog about the process and the results of them. 

Primitive Logs for Quilt Canada

I was so thrilled to have one of my quilts "Primitive Log Cabin" be chosen as a workshop for Quilt Canada 2016 https://www.canadianquilter.com/events/quilt-canada-2016.php   that I decided I would make a more modern version of it.



A few weeks ago I mentioned that I would be blogging about my "modern"  primitive log cabin quilt.

I found a little time to start cutting and sewing for myself this past weekend. This mess in the picture to the left quickly turned into a few blocks. 









I decided to mix it up and not work in rounds of one fabric at a time like my original quilt. 

What I finished to date  is on the design wall,  not the greatest picture but you get the idea! 
I think I will try adding some different size and shapes of blocks into the mix. Stay posted there is more to cmd

It's beginning to feel like Christmas!

There is nothing like the Christmas rush to get you in the mood or put you in a panic like I am sure many of you are feeling.  

A few lucky people will get some beautiful quilted Christmas gifts this year. 

Gillian had me quilt this gorgeous tree skirt for a very lucky person in her life.
