LynniePinnie design

I finally got some time to do some machine embroidery and stitched out some halloween designs on some plain towels.  They all stitched our great. After three Embroidery Library  designs which stitch out so nicely but are quite dense, I went looking for another and happened on  LynniePinnie  and found this cute pumpkin applique design which stitched beautifully and was a lot softer. I love it.  I really am enjoying sewing and embroidering with my Viking Sewing machine!

Finished Quilt - Grandma's Garden with 30's prints

Just finished this modern type pinwheel quilt called "Grandma's Garden" by Gingham Girls  making a small dent in my 30's repro stash.  The pinwheels were made using a portion of the dear jane triangle ruler. I love already having the correct ruler! I manually stippled the quilt which is always nice for  a background. It came out nice and soft after a rinse and dry. The tons of 5" squares made a sort of two sided quilt.

Quilt size approx 55" X 73"

Love these pandas!

The modified nine patch block was fun and easy

Black is a moda's essential dot

I used small yellow yo yos instead of buttons

 30's scotties are another favorite

I love the bright red binding

I used my accuquilt to cut about 250 squares for the backing

I LOVE THIS CABINET

Is it just me, but doesn't every girl want this pistachio green cabinet? You can fit even a large machine with a custom insert. It matches my wallet and lots of other things I have.......I started looking around me and didn't realize how much I like this color

Another Aunt Philly rag rug help me bust my stash this time. I used a lot of my large cuts of batiks in blues, purples, greens, and combos of those. It took about 4 days of off and on and looping and 13 yards. The rug measures 26" X 44"
