Robin's K#3

 This one is truly a reuse, recycle, use it up quilt. haha

Scrappy blocks....pieced back....many strips of batting because my batting order is not here yet and i found a bunch of batting strips. black and white. haha

It has a couple of hearts...so whoever gets it feels loved. And a lot of St Louis Cardinals fabric that will mean absolutely nothing to them. haha

some flannel cats....another heart

Watermelon, monkeys. all that red fabric is about gone. I did large swirls across the blocks and fat, close wavy lines over the seams. trying to hold all those batting pieces together. haha

The back is part thrift store sheet....on the left and green stash fabric on the right. That left piece is more green in real life. I am having trouble matching anything with fabric I have left. 

Top thread is Glide Ruby; bobbin is Glide Jade.

One more to go....but have to wait on that batting order. I should have just gone and picked some up instead of online shopping. I order from Washington, MO....an hour and a half away......It ships from Washington state....what the hell....to Oregon....to Idaho....says it will be here Tuesday.  Looks like it is taking a road trip. haha

Robin's K#2

 This used up the last of the batiks. I used all the bits and pieces and pieced blocks until there were no bits and pieces left. 

Then I added brown, green, purple and tan blocks  from the stash to have enough.

Pretty much same as the last one....5" squares.....wavy lines through the block and over the seams.

Some of those blocks are wild....pieced with anything left over.

The back is a dark green sheet from the thrift store. I don't know if it's the camera or the operator, but I take lousy pics. haha

This one is 62 x 84".  Glide light olive for the top and Glide jade for the bobbin.

Now I have to piece backs for the other two....tomorrow's job.

Robin's K#1

My friend, Robin, works with a missionary to send quilts to poor people who live in and around the landfill in their country....above China.  I decided to quilt up a few and send them to her. A good use for using up my stash. 

I had a pile of batiks that i cut into 5" squares.....and then used a row of purple/gray in alternate rows. The last purple row was what was left. haha

I did wavy lines across the top....in the middle of the blocks and over the seam lines.

Several blocks were pieced....I used up all those batik pieces. haha

Back is a thrift store sheet.

Glide Sepia in the top and So Fine tan in the bobbin. 

This went really quickly and I now have the second one on the frame.

Brenda's #5....Snowman 2

 If this looks familiar, it's because Brenda made two of these. But, this one has less embellishments and is mainly cotton applique.

I tried to limit SID since my eyes are just not working for that.

But there was still a lot of going around things.

It is wider than it is tall. Not much background stitching at all

Cute snowmen all over the place

Curves around all the blocks...no SID

Check out this guy's ice skates.

Look at all those French knots around the angel wings.

Some CC in the border...and a single line through the extra dark partial borders.

Back was a blue. I used a navy thread but it doesn't show here.

Quilted with Glide Silver. 

I'm going to take a break from Brenda quilts and do one of mine now. haha
