February Sewing So Far! from The Modern Diary

My Lupine and Laughter quilt top is a flimsy.  I like how this one turned out in my colors.  Different from any others I have done for sure.  

I decided since I made Hazel an H is for Happy doll quilt that I should make an I one for Indigo.  I had to "design" the I myself and it is not quite as good as the H's, but it works.  I do love how the quilting came out and I did that myself too.  Since I was gifting it to Indie for Valentine's Day I decided I better ...

A January Catch Up! from The Modern Diary

Awhile back I finished the Matchmaker Modern Quilt Mystery.  I am happy with how it came out despite not picking fabrics ahead of time and using only scraps.

Chilhowie and More from The Modern Diary

I made a few more mini tissue holders mostly in rainbow fabric.  May gift them at a post Christmas exchange with our local lgbtq group.
Not the best photo since it is in a darkish living room, but here is Chilhowie back from Lora who does beautiful work!  I plan to keep this one at least for the time being.  I gave my sister the one I had (On Ringo Lake) and gave my brother and his wife the first Packer Bliss quilt (Lora quilted).  
Here is my nephew Bear with his patchwork ghost.  He likes it so much he ...
