Scraps and Strings: First finish for 2013

Wednesday 2 January 2013

machine pieced and quilted, hand dyed fabric

8.5 by 11 inches

I started off 2013 with some piecing and quilting, finishing this little quilt

for Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative. To start off the year right, I also tidied my sewing room,

fondled my new fabrics from Santa, and made a bunch of string blocks.

Happy new year of quiltmaking to all of you!

valleyp said...: I like the way your quilting lines followed the edges of your pieced strips, very nice. After seeing all these little projects that you've done in the last little while, I'm thinking I need more little projects in my life and enough of the big ones!; 7 January 2013 at 14:16
Sharon said...: Oh! I LOVE this! Beautiful colors and your quilting just does wonderful things! Very fun and creative - great P.Q.!

Happy New Year! You're off to a super start! And I agree with valleyp - maybe I need to do some small projects too.; 8 January 2013 at 02:15
