Hidden Things

 Hi Readers,

I had a finish last week, but have not had a chance to update my blog.  I had taken a quick trip to North and South Carolina.  I stopped in North Carolina, and visited with my brother and his wife.  I had made a quilt for them last year, but decided they should have two, so they wouldn't have to share...so I gave them this quilt I made in 2022.  And in looking for a photo, I just realized I missed writing a post about this quilt.  I will take care of that tonight.

This post is about my latest finish.  I called it Hidden Things.  It is, wait for it, another eye spy quilt.  I haven't done one in a while, but Sue is having another grandson and I thought we would make an eye spy quilt.  So we picked animal prints as they had a theme of the great outdoors.  That is not what Sue was calling it, but it amounts to the same thing.  I found a really cool quilting pattern to put on it.

This quilt was a group effort, Sue's mom Betty picked the hexies out of my hexi box, Sue was the ironer and I sewed.

We had a good visit and got the top done, a sheet, got the back ready and Sue and Diane each embroidered some thing for Oliver James Harmon!!  I look forward to meeting you!

Sew on,

 Dear Readers,

Back in 2022, I did a sew a-long with Pat Sloan called Sweet Dreams.  I decided to do it entirely from my stash.  Of course that did not make a dent, but I also wanted to use an piece of fabric I had bought in Okinawa in the nineties to be the inspiration for the colors that were to go into the quilt.  Pat Sloan was releasing a block a week over the spring of the year and amazingly I kept up!  

I used a swirly pattern that went edge to edge for the quilting.

I used the same backgrought in all the blocks and used up all the green and pink fabric in this quilt.  It was fun.  The back also came from my stash.  

The back

Have fun.

Sew on,

Terry
