Hi everyone, this weekend I participated in a Virtual Retreat on one of the Yahoo Groups that I am on. I worked on a top that has been sitting around for way too long. It is Nebraska Waves by Jo Morton. I have reduced the size by one row. I will use a black fabric for the setting blocks and border.
I am going to leave that on the design wall for a couple of days in case I want to tweak the placement of the blocks. So in the meantime I am working on this hand piecing project.
I saw this on Ann Hermes' blog and just had to copy the idea. Thanks Ann!
The yardstick is an antique - I have no idea where it come from. Most like from my Dad's business when Mr. Quilts closed it up after his passing. But I found another one at Home Depot in the paint department. It is very sturdy and after it was stained and waxed it looks old.
It is just another way I can display my quilts in my home.
Until next time...
Pat

Oh Pat! Each picture gets better than the last! First off your hand project is going to be wonderful. Hand piecing is the one thing I cannot do! And the Jo quilt is wonderful. But I really, really love that Eagle quilt. How wonderful is that!
What great projects!
The hand piecing is amazing - so tiny. What pattern is this?
Your eagle quilt is quite spectacular.
Thanks for sharing!

Pat,
I love the quilt! Can you share what pattern it is?
The yardstick is a great idea! Don't have to hide it.
Wow, you have some great projects going. Can't wait to see the finished quilts someday. Love your eagle quilt and the yardstick idea. After I read Ann Hermes' blog the other day, I started looking at the antique malls for some interesting yardsticks but no luck so far.

Pat, the Nebraska Waves quilt is awesome! It's exactly the kind of fabrics that would look great in my home! Do I have to make my own?
