Sue Spargo pillow


This is a wool Sue Spargo pillow.  It was a kit from her website.  The fabric in the back is what I used to make an inner pillow to hold the stuffing.  Then I inserted it into the outer wool pillow form.

It was very fun to make.  I love Sue Spargo's selection of fabrics and colors.

My niece has this one on her bed.

Primitive Garden in wool




This was the first block I made of Primitive Garden.  It was my third project using wool applique.  I love it!  I showed you the watering can in a previous post.  I've got all the blocks done and one border.  Three more borders to go!  I'm loving working on this.

Charity Quilt

The raffle quilt for next year at Mesquite Quilt Guild will be a Sun Bonnet Sue blue embroidery design.  This was my contribution.  Isn't she cute?

Wild and Wonderful closeups



These are some close-ups of the quilt I call "Wild and Wonderful".  Can you identify those men's shirt fabrics?  They really are "wild and wonderful"!

Macy helping me quilt


This is Macy.  She loves to help me quilt and iron.  She likes it when I move the iron and leave a hot spot so she can roll around on it to get the warmth.  I have to be very careful where I set the iron when she's around!
