Lap Quilt

I have made things for others in my family, sometimes a couple of times over but so far I haven't made one for hubby yet. I started a big one for him some time ago but it became such a huge undertaking that it became an UFO (in quilting terms, its an 'unfinished object'). Well that seemed a little unfair since he has indulged my obsession with fabric and pretty much anything quilting, without too much fuss, so I am in the process of making him a (a much smaller and more manageable) lap quilt. Here is a part of the center panel...

Its a symbol that means 'Except for God'. A symbol of the omnipotence and immortality of God.

Forgotten Post

Well I guess better late than never! I forgot to post the last two Christmas gifts I made. Life can be a little distracting at times, don't you think :)? They were both bed runners. Here is the one I made for my mother along with the back.

 

The back is laying on my cutting table long-ways and half folded over. And this is the one I made for my sister and her husband with its back.

Argyle - Done!

Ok it took me way too long to post this. I had finished this mini two weekends ago. I actually became enamored with the argyle pattern earlier this year (like that was so long ago) and decided to see if I could create one of my own. Here is the end result...

Its very shadow-y so I will have to post a better picture soon. I used gray thread to quilt the top, thinking that white might be a little too much and as I look at it more and more I think I should have gone with the white instead. Oh well...you live and learn.
