WIPS Oct. 2011

Well, if there is a finish (see the previous post), you know there is something in the works.  Here's what's cookin':

1.  The Miniature Bethlehem Star - I'm quilting it now. The fabrics are ca. 1840's - the oldest in my stash.

2.  A four block cut work needle-turn applique with pieced borders -  more borders to come.  It features one of my favorite ca. 1870's fabrics - double or Lancaster blue on a solid orange ground.

3.  A tumbler charm quilt out of ca. 1870's calicoes.  This is just a little project that I work on when I am stumped or between projects.  Sort of a little fill-in type thing. 

As usual, if you click on the picture, it will enlarge.  There is a quarter by the number 2 for scale.

Just a note here:  when I spoke to the NWPA group, Jill asked me how I collaged my photos for the WIPS.  Well, I just toss them on the scanner and import the scan to The Print Shop program and add the numbers, etc.  Easy, peasy.

Till next time...
