Homestead Mini-Quilt

I finished the Homestead mini-quilt.  Just in time for breakfast on Wednesday.  I'm very pleased with this little mini.  Each block is time consuming with all the cutting of applique pieces but the result is stunning.  The blocks are 7" finished.

Now to put the binding on a tablerunner that I completed while in Kentucky.  Pics later this week.  Great to be back in the studio. 

Autumn Wind Quilt Completed

Back in July, I posted on the progress of my Autumn Leaves Quilt. Each leaf is machine appliqued with the embroidery machine. The blocks are then sewn together to make the quilt center. The pattern is from Lunch Box Quilts. The pattern includes instructions for a larger quilt and this smaller version. Iused a blue leaf print for the borders. It will be used as a wall hanging in my dining room this fall.
