Scrappy Goodness!

Working on binding this scrappy "Piece" quilt this morning... binding done, squared up and ready to go.

Pieced Back :)

Peace Sign Quilting by Big Pine Quilting

You'd think my scrap pile would've dwindled...

Good to be home for a weekend full of stitching.

A little late, better than never.... I guess. This was two weekends ago, I had it half done, so figured I might as well finish it.

With the boys on a basketball road trip, we celebrated Girls Weekend here in Reno! My Mom, the knitter came up to spend a couple of knitting days and I stitched on a back for the Tra La, Tra La quilt. Here's our progress...

and on to the knitting... Mom knits stockings for all the family, these for her great grandchildren. This is 4th generation with knitted stockings, a tradition that started with my grandmother. It began with a Santa pattern for all the 1st and 2nd Generation, but Mom has made up patterns for all her grandchildren and now the great grands. What a great tradition, thanks MOM!

Don't you love how Mom fit in the letters on this one with the little "o" above the "L". Very creative solution Mom!

Here is the prom girl, with her Mom and Gram.

Update on THIS weekend coming soon!

I LOVE a Pieced Back!

Here's a back I finished this morning... it's off to the quilter this afternoon. As this is the 4th of 5 quilts I am finishing up for a friend, I used some extra blocks and fabric that were stuffed into this bag of semi-finished quilt tops.

I love the old red gingham with the little flowers. I have to admit it was out of necessity that I went with the pieced back, not quite enough of this little white flower fabric for an entire back. One of the things I love about quilting it that you can always improvise!
