Two Quilts Off the Frame ~

 I love sewing!

 Debi's Modern Rectangles



I wanted to share the latest two finishes for this week- love the week home from school! First was Debi's Modern Rectangles Quilt for her granddaughter. It was stitched with a horizontal loopy stitch, like a water motion.
 

     I failed to get a good picture.




Next up was this Poppies quilt by Kathy, oo-oh, I wanted to keep this one! I love poppies and red is my favorite color. M-m-m-m, yummy!



 




 Kathy backed it with a rich blue plaid. Her thread is blue variegated, perfect ~






We had a charm swap in our quilt class this week, the theme was patriotic design. Here's what's happening with my blocks ~

 


 

 On a personal note, dd Lydia is in the hospital due to an infection that she didn't get taken care of soon enough. She is healing slowly. We would appreciate your prayers. Her hospital is 25 miles away, and it looks like rehab will be even further away. 

"Trust in Him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before Him: God is a refuge for us. Selah."  Psalms 62:8 
sigh.

  12. I hope your daughter is out of the hospital and has a full recovery soon. There's a lot of quilty goodness here to see! Love your patriotic blocks, and both quilts are beautiful! I had seen that poppy print in internet quilt shops but didn't realize the scale was so large. That is a perfect pattern to showcase it.
