Another quilt for Project Linus

Here is another quilt I've made for Project Linus.  This one uses black and white fabric with touches of red.   Earlier this year I read on the Project Linus website that they wanted black and white quilts for the Festival of Quilts this year so when I saw this fabric I knew I had to have it.  Sadly, it was not complete in time for FOQ but better late than never.

I used a simple rail fence pattern and then backed and bound it with red fabric.

I've just seen on their website that the theme for next year's FOQ is railfence so I guess I will be able to make one or two quilts using up my stash!

Pre-Christmas Creating

A few weeks ago, while clearing the way to wrap up Christmas Presents I got way-laid by making a runner for the dining room table for use over the Christmas holiday.

I don't know what started it but once the idea was there, there was no stopping me and three hours later it was finished. The end result was just what I wanted and as it was all made from my stash, I felt good that it had cost nothing and there was now a little less fabric in my workroom.

My daughter has suggested one for Easter but somehow I don't think I will go that far!

And by the way, the presents were all wrapped up on time!
