Finished Charity Quilt

For my first finish:

I have finally finished my Charity Quilt.  As part of the Foothills Piecemakers Quilt Guild, members make blocks, make quilt tops, and/or quilt the quilt. I did not make this quilt top but offered to quilt and bind it. I used this quilt to try out and practice some new FMQ patterns.

I took the quilt top at our July meeting (holding head in shame that it has been so many months).  I had is basted and ready to go in mid-October (This quilt was featured in my WIP Wednesday posting on October 16th.)

I decided to try out a blooming flower type FMQ.  It took some time getting used to this pattern and getting my hands and brain to cooperate.  In the beginning I was moving the quilt to fast then I would wind up catching the large stitching loops on my FMQ foot so this quilt took a lot longer than I had planned on.

But it is finally finished and was handed into our philanthropy chair at yesterday's meeting!

For my second finish:

I also finished up my custom combined cathedral window pincushion / thread catcher I have been working on (I described my process here).  I really enjoyed figuring out how to make the set connected (using a button) and all of the different dimensions.  I have a custom set listed on etsy now.

Not a finish but a start...

Here is a sneak peek of my newest pattern I am working called Vintage Stars.  I am making the test quilt out of Scrumptious by Bonnie and Camille. 

I typically have not shown many in progress pics and details about my patterns, but with this one I thought that I would share more of my process I use to write quilt patterns.

I am linking up to Link a Finish Friday, Whoop Whoop Friday, Thank Goodness Its Finished Friday, Finish It Up Friday, and Sew Cute Tuesday.
