Some quilt finishes and updates (picture heavy)

 Wow - I haven't blogged since April, hence the picture heavy mention in the title.  I keep thinking about it but then...   I have been keeping busy with life in general, quilting, cross stitching, decorating, keeping out of the heat.  I also took a quick trip to California to see my friends and check up on my father-in-law.  But you aren't here to hear about all that, you want to see some finished (or semi-finished) products.   First, quilt finishes. Wonky Log Cabin - used some Amish fabric my mom bought me years ago and some solids from my stash. Made this for my friend Anna.  She makes so much for others, I thought I'd make her something. Obviously to honor my move to Texas! Charity quilt Charity Quilt Vintage Santa For the Common Threads Quilt guild challenge in 2022.  Blocks given to me by Charlotte Rogers and I made a runner with the best of the blocks in the pack. Granny Squared using Fig Tree Stitched fabrics. For our pastor and his wife for their first baby. Fat Qu

Visitors, Crafts, Machine Embroidery and Cross Stitch

Are they not the cutest.   Then my friend Janice came for a week and we kept very busy
