As promised here’s another quilt by Marty. For this we decided on an E2E design I call Nouveau Feather meander combined with a hook! I love the texture change with this stitching.

I’ve been busy quilting customer quilts and not posting them! So here’s Marty’s Big Camping quilt. It’s much bigger than my hanging space! Even though it’s a big one, I was able to turn the quilt for stitching the borders, but just barely. The borders have separate designs and the center is quilted with two different motifs to change the texture of the quilt along the camping blocks.
The batting is Quilter’s Dream Blend and the thread is Superior Threads So Fine 50. I used a color that matched so well that I couldn’t see it sometimes!
And the back is always fun to look at! For the narrow green border I switched to a dark green thread in the needle and bobbin.
Marty did another big quilt which I will feature in the next post!

Here’s the after washing and drying picture of my homespun Stacked Squares quilt. Yes, I have made several of these quilts. I believe this is the 12th one! Every time I start one of these for myself, I end up giving it away! So, I’ll be starting another one for me. 13 is a lucky number in our house, so I’ll keep that one for me! Maybe!!
Here’s a view before washing and drying. I love how the homespun shrinks up and gets all cuddly and wrinkly. I’m using Quilter’s Dream 100% cotton select batting.
I’m linking up to Such a Sew and Sew: A Stitch in Time… for another March finish. My first finish was a little potholder.

Spoiler Alert to my sister, Patty!
I’m still working on my Trash to Treasure Pineapple quilt but I got sidetracked this week with my sister’s T-shirt quilt. This is one of those projects that keeps getting set aside but now I’m determined to finish this “Loose End”! Patty helped me out this week by eliminating some of the t-shirts and they may end up in a second quilt!
So, I’m off and sewing! Because the t-shirt panels are various sizes, I’m making 4 vertical rows and building the smaller motifs to fit the row width. I love it!!

It’s time to draw the winners of my Blog Hop Giveaway!
A big thank you to everyone who entered my giveaway and “hi” to my new followers! I was sure the purse/tote pack was leading but in the end the quilt pack had 3 more comments.
My selecting system was very low tech, (writing all the names on a slip of paper), I had fun re-reading the comments and visiting the comment makers blogs!
And I discovered a new site stat that shows what country my blog visitors are in. Last week, my blog was visited by readers from 30 different countries! Isn’t that amazing!
My spring break visiting daughter drew the winners and…..(drum roll….)
The winner of the purse pack is:
Kathy A – “#1 purse pack would be GREAT! I hope I win! thanks”
