Blue Boy

Here is the little blue boy baby with his quilt. Isn't he a cutie?

 I'm almost finished adding all my word quilts to separate pages on the blog. You can find them just below the header. I am trying to organize them all by year. I got the pictures up over the weekend and am adding stories to each of them, so bear with me until I am done. If you've looked at them in the last day or so and not seen the little blurb about each one, you may want to revisit them.

Blue Boy Finish

The Saturday before I started thinking about the quilt for my niece, Diamond Jubilee, I finished the Blue Boy rail fence quilt. It was late in the day, and most of my favorite "beauty shot" locations were in full shade, so the porch railing was the best I could do.
 

The quilt is quite handsome and I like it a lot. I hope the little boy this quilt is going to will enjoy it a lot.

Blue Boy Flimsy Complete

I finally spent some time in the sewing studio this past weekend.

In addition to sewing up 104 petals blocks, I sewed up the Blue Boy Rail Fence quilt.

I like it very much.

Blue Boy in Progress

While watching Father Brown last night on the local PBS station, I pinned three more blocks together, and cut the last set of strips into squares.

But the sewing will have to wait because I am on my way to AQS Syracuse to see my quilt, The Black Box, and Julie's See Rock City on display.

If you go to the show, take a picture of yourself with my quilt (and Julie's too) and send them to me! And if you are there on Saturday when I am looking around, and you see me, please come over and say hello!



Suzanne, I'm glad you loved it, thanks for writing!

TV watching

It's no secret that I have a TV in my sewing studio. It's not that I'm a TV addict, I just like the company. I sew while I "watch."  Mostly I listen.

 I've cut the blocks for 11 of the 12 Blue Boy rail fence blocks and while watching Dr Blake Mysteries on PBS last night, I pinned three blocks together.

And when the show was over, I sewed them up.

I absolutely adore this one.

so now I have six blocks sewn up.

I am dancing the happy dance of joy on this one!

Blue Boy Rail Fence

A colleague of mine and his wife are expecting a baby boy in the fall. I'm making a baby quilt.

It will be a rail fence in blues. All these fabrics came from my stash.

I've cut all the strips, cut the curves and sewn them together.

Here are the first three blocks.
