Twelve Days of Christmas by Cheri. This one just needs to be basted and quilted. I think it looks a little heavy on one side. I'm hoping to quilt a few things on the "empty "side and fill 'er up.
Blocks 11 & 12 of Bible quilt by Jan Patek.
Henny Penny by Bonnie in American Patchwork & Quilting magazine, latest issue. I saw this on Sue's blog and knew I'd have to do it!
Wool Crazy by JoAnn Mullaly. I hope to get this second square done this fall/winter.
We went camping this weekend to Mt Hood. It is hard for us to get away and the only time you can count on a camping site is after school is back in session. It was cold but such a pretty day on Saturday.
Our kids came up and we celebrated my son's 25th birthday. I'd like to know how my baby got to be 25!? LOL
Have a terrific day!
Oh my, look at all that applique. It is a foreign language to me, but it is all very fun looking! So many projects, though, that I would get confused.
ReplyDeleteLovely nature shot from your camping trip! I understand about the campsites. September is good around here once all the kids are in school--October is too cold.
How did we get this old (though you don't look it)? My baby turns 24 this month.
Love all your projects, I do have the pattern from cheri, maybe i should make one. Your son is cute, does he like older woman, my daughter is 26, lol.
ReplyDeleteDebbie
Ya, especially since you don't look more than 25!
ReplyDeleteYour needle and thread have been flying! Love all the wooly goodness.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo of you with your baby. My baby is 21 and I'm with you, how did that happen so fast?
Love all your wool applique pieces-stunning!
ReplyDeleteShazy
Fun applique projects! I especially like the Wool Crazy. Happy Birthday to your handsome son.
ReplyDeleteInteresting how all the images from the 12 days of Christmas can fit on one big block. My daughters and I enjoyed looking for them all :0)
ReplyDeleteYour 12 Days is wonderful, Lori! I am still plugging away on mine. Since I am doing it with cottons, it will take a bit. But not too much more applique left to do....then the embroidery.
ReplyDeleteHenny Penny is right up my alley. I always liked the children's story.
You are an applique queen! Wonderful...and envy here! My oldest turned 22 in Sept and my baby turns 18 in two weeks!! I have less than a year before I'm an empty nester when he takes off for college....I already tear up just thinking about it. Of course on the days he wants to get "lippy" are different! LOL
ReplyDeleteI fell in love with the Henny Penny quilt, too, but it will be a while before I get to it. And I"m with you - just how did our kids get to be this age???
ReplyDeleteYou've been busy! Wish I had a daughter around you son's age!
ReplyDeleteYou have wonderful applique pieces you're working on. You've inspired me to get busy on my own Christmas quilt.
ReplyDeleteRicci
Babies get old before we know it! Wonderful appliques .....You've been busy!
ReplyDeleteYou have been a busy, busy girl...what wonderful projects! Love all your wool!
ReplyDeleteLots of activity at your house! Someone showed a completed Henny Penny last night at my guild meeting - really cute! Just wait until your "baby" is 39! Mine will be Dec. 1. It gets worse!
ReplyDeleteSo many wonderful projects!!! Great family camping shot. Happy birthday to your son!
ReplyDeleteDang Lori! All your applique is so beautiful! I love the wool applique....I should really try and do some.....it has such a warm feel to it! Love that 12 Days of Xmas piece....that dancing lady with her arms up is too darned cute! She's rockin' that dance! lol
ReplyDeleteYou go girl! Lots of cool projects - love them all. I just saw Henny Penny this morning - so cute!
ReplyDeleteLove seeing your projects. You don't have to get bored with one for long, you can just jump to the next one. Your 25 year old son is a cutie. glad you had some family time together in such a lovely setting.
ReplyDeleteyour baby's still a baby, i have a son turning 40 next year, having trouble wrapping my brain around that one, still seems like only yesterday he was a baby....
ReplyDeleteDo you ever sleep? :)
ReplyDeleteLove your projects!
Good gravy you have been very busy! You inspire me to get things ready for Christmas now! Hmmm I wonder what I can come up with. Your home must be filled with all sorts of wonderful quilts!!
ReplyDeleteYou have some wonderful projects underway. I'll echo some of the other comments--when do you sleep? and when you do, you must have a flying needle and thread wandering through your dreams, stitching everything in sight.
ReplyDeleteMy babies are in their early to mid 30s, and I'm positive they were babes in my arms not that long ago. How I miss the children that they used to be.
Lot of beautiful applique,love especially the wool crazy, but never tryed wool work... XO
ReplyDeleteYou sure got a head start with your X'mas projects!
ReplyDeleteSo nice to be close to nature when camping in the outdoors.
Mine has just turned 18! It's a shock!
ReplyDeleteLove all your primitive and wool work but what has happened to your bowties Lori?
beautiful applique blocks...keep going
ReplyDeleteI still haven't tried really working with wool but I want too! I have no clue how these kids can grow up this fast....
I keep wondering myself!
have a great day...
kathie

ReplyDeleteI love the 12 DOC and the bible blocks.
Also your wooly projects -
That is a lot of appliqué going on, you must enjoy it ;-) Like I didn't know LOL.
ReplyDeleteLove the 12 days and agree with you the lower left corner is a bit empty. Would love to see what you did with it!
So many wonderful applique projects going on!
ReplyDeleteLooks like the camping trip was fun. Such a nice looking family! My baby will be 24 in December. Don't know how that happened.
Happy bday to your son!!! You can't possibly have a baby that old!!!! LOVE your wool crazy quilt...gorgeous!!!

Oh dear, wait till your baby gets to 30, it's hard to believe where the years go.
ReplyDeleteI love your projects, they all look so great.
Your wool crazy is a beauty. I have thought about doing it but don't know if I can stand the mess of digging out all the wool. I know I should....
ReplyDeletebeautiful projects Lori. I so love the wool pumpkins.
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, it is that time . . . . the holidays are right around the corner *yikes* Your projects look great!
