On Friday evening, I cut out the pieces for our Treadle on Pin Cushion exchange. Here it is! I searched for many ideas, but I came back to re-creating the sea turtle. I made one a few years back and just love the look.
It's in the mail. I'm looking forward to seeing what returns back to me!
I sewed this little guy using my grandma's Pfaff 30 treadle. (In the background, I have another Treadle On block exchange quilt top ready for quilting. This one dates back to spring of 2013. I've got to catch up.)

Yeah!!!!
I finished the second T-shirt quilt today! I sewed the binding and now it's done.
I used a quilt stencil named as "Elegance". With my "Sweet Sixteen" machine, this was a breeze to sew. I didn't have to force, fight, pull, or carry my quilt top. This machine made it so much easier, thus I didn't stop as I had to with the first t-shirt quilt. I was so exhausted after fighting to quilt using my regular sewing machine.
It's done, it's done!!!!

I have been teaching 'beginner' quilt classes for a few years and have been making a variety of lap and twin size quilt tops. I just finished one this month (July 2015) and gave it to my younger brother for his birthday. I'll have to get a picture real soon.
This quilt top is the newest pattern for this upcoming beginner's class. My grandson selected the fabric last summer (age 3) and yes, I have been slow to cut it up to make a big boy's size. Isn't Sully and Mike Wazowski cute?

I finished another quilt this summer! I took the butterfly class last year and had been quilting block by block. After the purchase of my newest machine, the "Sweet Sixteen" from HQ, I whipped through the last few rows. I love my new machine! I have been working on various quilting projects and love how it sews!

I just pieced this top. I plan to add a navy blue border and a flannel backing. It's for my newest grandchild hailing from Oklahoma.
The pattern is the "Disappearing 9 patch". I chose a variety of blues, greens, and blacks with yellow centers and it sews up pretty quick. Now, just to find the time to layer, pin, and quilt it.
Update: I finished it and now it's time to mail it to Oklahoma.

I finished it! This is my sewing bag/tray. The "Bionic Gear Bag"pattern was purchased from Craftsy and it holds a lot of stuff! You can't see it, but I have my quilting supplies all within the zippered sections and the connecting pockets.
Sally Thompson of "Ripstitcher" is the designer. She walks you through every step and has more detailed instructions on her blog.
I love it! I plan to make several more. Thank you Sally!
