I am finally getting back to Sweet Tweets blocks again. Number 6 on it way finished and hopefully this week getting number 7 started.
The better part of this week I have to quilt 3 small quilts for my guild's charity group. I do not have a long-arm machine and I do not do free motion quilting, but can do a nice job on smaller quilts. I only volunteer to do quilts under 45 by 60 in size. My Bernina 750 does a great job with serpentine stitching and I have a nice stash of variegated threads in 30wt and 40wt that look really nice on them. That frees up the long-arm quilters to do the larger quilts.
First one almost done, have the binding on and just finishing up the handwork on the binding. And a start on the second one.

ReplyDeleteLuv the stitch on the quilt& absolutely luv those sweet tweet blocks!
ReplyDeleteThat Sweet Treats block turned out beautifully. Good luck with all the quilting this week.
ReplyDeleteSerpentine stitch on those little quilts is a great way to get them quilted! I'll have to try it.
ReplyDeleteHi DonnaLeeQ! Happy New Year to you and your family. Cute quilts from your guild. It is so nice of you to volunteer to quilt them, and I know it is greatly appreciated. The end recipient is also very appreciative of the care and love you take quilting each one. {{Hugs}} ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteThat bird is so lovely. It will be nice to see the finished product.
ReplyDeleteI just love anything with birds.
ReplyDeleteOoh, the bird applique looks like it will be part of a great Spring quilt! Will have to look back through your posts and see the other birds. Pat Sloan also uses the serpentine stitch for quilting her smaller quilts. Very pretty pastel quilt for some lucky child!
ReplyDeleteCharity work is a great way to start out the quilting year!
ReplyDeleteI love your little bird applique block! I love creating and piecing, I find the actual quilting and binding to be the hardest part, I'm sure your quilting work is indeed appreciated .
ReplyDeleteI love them all, but the bird one is my favorite. You're most talented.
