Christmas Stitching

 

Just a new start on a small Christmas cross stitch. It will finish about 2.5 inches by 5.5 inches on an eighteen count aida cloth. 

Gallant XL

 

I hope I have not lost my mind. But here it is my project for the past 3 days. 

SO many little screws to tight. This is a puzzle in steroids. 

Now for the hard part: figure out the software.

And find a place for most of these boxes in case I need to pack it.

More Ravens

On the design wall, more Raven blocks to needle turn applique. Only 3 more to go after these.

Amazing border

I love the border on this quilt. It adds to the whimsy of the top.

Not my quilt. Unfortunately, I don't have the name of the quilter.

Learn to Quilt Booth 2025

The Quilt Guild of Greater Houston has a booth at Quilt Festival every year. 

Anyone can come and learn the basic skills needed to quilt. 

Very talented members volunteer to teach from hand to machine skills needed to complete a quilt. 

Anyone can sit and make a pot holder totally free.

I have lent my 3 quilts to decorate the area. I chose applique, machine piecing, and English paper piecing quilts that could give an idea of the different techniques in quilting.

 I really hoped that it would inspire someone to think "I can do that!"

Brasilidade 2

 The 2025  International Quilt Festival is happening this October weekend in Houston, Texas. Among the most amazing displays of this art form are some quilts from Brazil. This one specially touches my heart. This scene is part of my young self history.

Christmas quilt

 And, I am on my way to make a Christmas Quilt. Pattern by Gail Pan. I am adding original blocks and deleting some blocks from the pattern.
