Happy Memorial Day

To all who have served our country, thank you. It's been a picture perfect weekend here in NH although a bit hot all of a sudden. That's how we roll around here-skip spring and go right into summer. Anyway, since my husband's work with veterans requires a lot of his time this weekend, I have been doing some sewing. This is a quilt from a pattern on the Moda Bake Shop blog. It's called Twin Nine Patches and you can find it here.


It's made with Arnold's Attic fabric that I got last year and I just love the browns and oranges with the blues and greens. This will have a border too out of a wonderful leaf print from this line.

 I also finished a table runner and a table topper that I just have to quilt.


I am now off work for the summer so I am looking forward to this time to rest up and enjoy the NH summer and sew a lot.

  1. The quilt top looks very pretty. I would not have thought the color
    combinations would go together. I'm always amazed to see the different color & print combinations that go together so well. I like the table runner too. Very pretty.
    My sister has the summers off too. I get so jealous of all you who have summers off. I work in a public library. Summers are our busiest times! Happy quilting. Can't wait to see what else you accomplish this summer in the way of sewing.
    Happy stitching!

  2. Gorgeous fabric and a very pretty quilt. I don't know if I'd have seen the possibilities in that line of fabric, but seeing it together, it's just beautiful!!

  4. I'm curious about the topper. There appears to be a line of stitching around the perimeter. Is the backing already sewn on or is the stitching simply to stabilize the top?

I pray that risen from the dead,
In glory I will stand,
A crown perhaps upon my head,
And a needle in my hand.
