Two Sisters Quilt

Having too much fun with this quilt. It's all ruler work and free motion quilting. I love how it is coming along. I find ruler work to be very enjoyable! Stitch in the ditch work done with sew fine thread. The cream work is using Glide in the top and matching sew fine in the bobbin. I used two layers of Hobbs 80/20 batting. 

This is the finished quilt a few minutes after removing from the machine. I was blown away by what was in front of me. To say I was thrilled is an understatement. Can't believe how pretty it came out.
 And then I turned it over. Wow.

Welcome to my home in the dead of winter! Lots of snow to shovel. The driveway and road is actually plowed. But I have a very long walkway to the front door to keep clear.

Placemats

This pattern for placemats was the perfect fun thing to do today. They were so easy to make on the long arm. They would make a very nice gift if you can get the fabric on sale. These are for me.
