2011 Finale

Here is the antique small quilt we will reproduce this month. As you are possibly sewing the next day or so look through your stash for pink and yellow if you want to do it with these colors. I was pleasantly surprised at how much I like them together. My top is done, it is basted, but not quilted.

 I have been appliqueing the stems on these and now to add the chain stitch from the stem to the berries. I am hoping to work on that tonight and possibly tomorrow night. It shouldn't take too long then I will be all caught up, ready for the last block and the last border.

Gay from Sentimental Stitches and Brenda, writer of the Dear Jane book have collaborated to bring us a red and white mystery quilt  this year. Check it out at Just Takes 2. I plan on participating with  muslin background and a variety of red prints.

My son took this photo of the woodpecker when he was here at Christmas. I found this on my camera when I downloaded photos today.
