Here is block 4 of Jan Patek's Bible quilt. Eve kind of blends in a little more then I like so I may go back and stitch around her in black.
Here' the completed pillow from Primitive Quilts and Projects magazine, also designed by Jan Patek. I had no idea how to add the "binding" which doesn't bind at all but is more like piping. I made mine too wide so it doesn't look that great. If you've made many projects of Jan's you know sometimes you have to figure things out yourself- this is one of those times!
This is the start of a Christmas project called Twelve days of Christmas by Cheri Payne. I think it will look better as I add to it.
Many of you have commented on the new quilt in my banner. That's by Cheri too! She has a fun blog that if you haven't checked out, you should! Quilts by Cheri is the name.
I think the sun is trying to peek through this morning- Yay!

All project are nice but the pillow is absolutely fantastic!
Hugs
I have found that I seem to only be drawn to primitive quilts. I too am working on a Jan Patek wall hanging, Spring Fling. The picture of the pattern shows blue fabrics that she used, but I am changing it to tans/browns/reds.
Love what you are working on... Cheri and Jan are on my favorite lists too :o)
I'm working on the Bible BOM blocks too... well, I've not actually started working on them, they're sitting in a basket waiting for me to have some time to tackle them... so I guess you would say I'm collecting them... *lol*
Thanks for the suggestion about "Eve"... I'll remember that when I do this block!
Lovely projects, Lori. I especially like the pillow. I was getting a little frustrated with a project last night where the directions were sparse. Kinda takes the fun out of it sometimes. I think I finally figured it out, but it took a while and some unsewing : /
What size blocks are the Bible quilt blocks? I am enjoying seeing the blocks each month.
You are so busy! Esp. like the house pillow.
Love your blocks, Lori.
The pillow is fabulous!
Prim is my all time favorite style. Your Bible block looks great! The JP pillow is wonderful - still waiting for my magazine, but gives me something to look forward to.
Great projects all of them. I have admired that Bible Quilt. It will be so awesome.
Oh I love your primitive projects! I recognized the pillow right away from the magazine! Yours looks so great :)
Isn't that the best magazine!?
Happy Lord's Day!
Wonderful projects and I like how you did Jan's Pillow, nice fabrics and quilting.

When I was looking at the thumbnail photo for this post I thought, "what do you mean, Eve shows up just fine." Then I went to the large picture and realized that was Adam. I didn't even see Eve in the small photo. So, yes, I think she needs outlining. The pillow looks great and I am awed by Cheri Payne's designs. Love their striking simplicity.
Love all 3 projects! I have never done a Jan Patek pattern, but thanks for the heads up. I have a Cheri Payne pattern on my to do list.
The block and pillow are so cute. Love the new magazine. Some quilting friends and I were in Kansas City this weekend and stopped in Quilters Station. We got to see Rita Briner's quilt from the magazine in person...just gorgeous. The magazine has great projects, it is more like a quilt pattern book than a magazine, a bargain.
Happy Stitching,
Cheri
Want to see more of your Christmas quilt - have recently finished a wall hanging and quilt for Christmas meant for 2010. Hope you are quicker with yours!
Love the completed pillow!! You did a great job on it!! I have ordered a copy of the magazine and am anxiously waiting for its arrival!! Great idea to start on Christmas projects, we all know how fast time flys!!
I like that pillow. You did a great job. The blocks are looking really awesome too. I like the 12 days block.
I still have to get out and try and find that magazine. Once I do, I will subscribe.
Happy stitching.
Wonderful primitive projects, every one. I'm seeing excitement all over the web re: that magazine. Such fun to see a new publication that fits into a specific niche in the quilting / stitching world.
Your projects are great. I've been looking for a copy of the new magazine. Thought maybe Barnes and Noble would have some. No luck yet.
I love cheri's designs but YES you have to work out the pattern sometimes yourself too!
must be those primitive style types, where hey it doesn't have to be perfect!
looks great, love the pillow
Your projects are fantastic. I like the pillow. I'll have to check out Cheri's patterns because I really love the one your are working on. Hugs.
Your pillow looks just great to me. I love the look of your new Christmas project too.
These primitive designs are in a class of it's own. Love the quaint pillow and the Bible quilt progress.
My goodness - you are one productive quilter, and you make time to share with us!
i'm of the mind that you do all well and make us as designers look good!
Gorgeous prim!! I can't believe you finished the pillow already! It's gorgeous!!
I'm not huge on primitive to do myself but I do love the look of it, I adore the bible block! The pillow looks soft and cosy so I wouldn't worry about it being a little big, it looks great to me.
I think that pillow looks very snuggly. Definitely I like it!!! I'm also enchanted with the Twelve Days of Christmas. You know Lori, you're so multi-talented with your quilting - it's fun!!!
I just love the Prim applique projects.
Your pillow turned out great..and it was so fast!
I look forward to seeing what comes next. :)
Got my copy of 'the' magazine last week. Can't wait to get some of my stash unpacked so I can start stichin'. Your pillow looks greaet!
I treat the pillow top and backing like it was a quilt. Bind as a quilt would be bound, and either leave an opening to insert the pillow form/stuffing, or use an 'envelope style' closing. This way your binding will not 'hang out'. It took me a while to figure that out, but it works really well, and the pillow has a nice shape, too. I hope this give you an idea!
How do you get so much accomplished????? Love your little Prim cuties!!!
Everything looks great to me, I love primitive.
cute primitive goodies ~!!~ love them all~!
i think you're right. Eve deserves to be a stand-out kinda gal. (-;
i'm on my way to Cheri's blog to check it out . . .
:-)
